Sunday's final curtain in La Liga will come from Estadio Carlos Tartiere, where Oviedo will be playing host to Spanish giants Real Madrid. Los Azules and Los Blancos are 18th and eighth in the league standings, respectively, after the first week. Let’s get into the match prediction.

Oviedo sealed their return to the Spanish top-flight after a 24-year hiatus last season, beating Mirandes in the playoffs, with 40-year-old Santi Carzola one of the players on the scoresheet.

Unfortunately, Los Azules were given a harsh reminder of how life in the top flight goes last week when they conceded twice in the space of seven minutes and suffered a 2-0 defeat to Villarreal.

The hosts' greatest strength last season came on their home patch, where they picked up 15 wins. However, they will know it is going to be much tougher to earn positive results this term. 

Meanwhile, by their own lofty standards, the 2024-25 season was a major disappointment for Madrid. While they won the FIFA Intercontinental Cup and the UEFA Super Cup, Los Blancos were trophyless domestically and finished four points behind Barcelona in La Liga. 

Los Merengues did not have much of a summer break owing to their participation in the FIFA Club World Cup. They made an underwhelming start to this season, beating Osasuna 1-0 last week, but it was far from a convincing performance. 

In 19 away games last season, the visitors recorded 10 wins, five draws, and four defeats. However, they are unbeaten against this opponent across all competitions since 1998.
