La Liga
The 25-year wait for Oviedo is over, but their return to the elite started with a 0:2 loss as a guest against Villarreal. Emotions will be high now in their first home game, especially against such an opponent. Things against Villarreal could have gone in a positive direction if Rondon had not missed a penalty at 0:0, and shortly after that Alberto Reina was sent off, leaving Oviedo with one man down.
Real Madrid won, but did not impress in the first roundKylian Mbappe secured a narrow 1:0 victory for Real Madrid last week. He won a penalty and then converted it for the win. There were three new players in the starting 11 under Chabi Alonso, as well as another one coming in as a substitute. Alonso himself stated that there is still room for improvement in the team's game, and his players are still adapting to his tactical instructions.
Prediction: Real to win and under 3.5 goalsOviedo did not have many high-scoring games last season, and now it is clear that they will mainly focus on not losing to Real. The guests only achieved a narrow victory in the first round and also have room for improvement. However, they are still capable of reaching a new success, but in my opinion, it will not be too high-scoring either.
