After losing 4-2 against Sporting Braga in the Europa League quarter-final second leg, Real Betis were dumped out of the competition, which was a damning loss for them. However, they have bounced back strongly since then, with a 3-2 win over Girona, and a 1-1 draw against Real Madrid. Hector Bellerin rescued a point for his side in that match with a stoppage time equaliser, which should lift their spirits heading into this weekend clash.
Oviedo sit rock bottom of the La Liga standings, seven points adrift of safety, but they haven’t given up hope just yet. In fact, they have won four of their last seven league matches, and have played with a lot more attacking intent recently. Oviedo have found the back of the net in each of their last six matches, and the reverse fixture between these sides in January also finished 1-1.
