Real Oviedo will hope a new manager could change fortunes when action resumes in La Liga on matchday nine with a match against Espanyol after the international break. This match on Friday in Oviedo between the 17th-placed ‘Los Azules’ and the ninth-placed ‘Parakeets’ comes with our prediction of under 2.5.

Going into the international break, Oviedo had six points (W2, L6) and was only above the relegation zone on goal difference. Espanyol’s 12 points (W3, D3, L2) put them just three points outside the top four teams.

Oviedo lost 2-0 at home to Levante going into the international break, and that prompted a change in manager. It marked their sixth defeat of the league campaign and four in the last five.

The challenge is to improve their scoring record, as they have scored a league-low four goals. Only two came in their four home league fixtures, with the Blues losing three (W1, L3).

Espanyol also went into the break on the back of a defeat, losing 2-1 at home against Real Betis. That result made it four games without a win (D2, L2) for the Parakeets, who have lost the initial momentum of three wins in the first four games (W3, D1).

The visitors are winless on the road (D2, L1) and need to address that challenge immediately to regain momentum.
