Villarreal had a good season, which will soon see them return to the Champions League, finishing fifth in the league. They finished the old campaign strongly with six consecutive victories. The team parted ways with key figures like Alex Baena and Tierno Barry, with only Thomas Partey being signed so far. However, only one win out of eight friendly matches during the preparation leaves doubts about Villarreal's current state.
24 years later Oviedo is back in the eliteThe wait is over for Oviedo and the team has returned to the elite of Spain. At the core of the success is veteran and former Villarreal player Santi Cazorla. In addition to the 40-year-old powerhouse, interesting names like Horatio Moldovan and Salomon Rondon have also arrived at the club. However, Oviedo is considered a favorite for relegation, but they will try to change those expectations of the bookmakers.
Prediction: +1.5 AH for OviedoYes, Villarreal is expected to be the favorite for a home win against the newcomer Oviedo. At the moment, however, I have some doubts about the condition of the hosts, while I expect Oviedo to be motivated enough to prove themselves in their long-awaited return to the elite and not give up easily.
