On Friday night, one of the best soccer leagues on planet earth returns. That's right, LaLiga is back. Two games will take place on Friday, including Villarreal vs Real Oviedo. After a strong campaign last time around, finishing fifth and earning a place on the continent, Friday's hosts will be hoping to start the new season with a win. They're up against newly promoted opposition, which can sometimes be a little trickier than it sounds.
For the first time in a quarter of a century, the Asturias city of Oviedo will host LaLiga football. Having done the business in the play-offs at the end of the last season, Real Oviedo are back in the big time. The real homecoming will be when they play their first top-flight game at Carlos Tartiere Stadium but Friday night will be a big occasion for the men coached by Veljko Paunovic, who etched his name into Real Oviedo folklore by masterminding a return to the top of the Spanish footballing tree. Facing Villarreal away from home is no easy task, but this is a team that earned a reputation as being hard to beat last season, so we probably shouldn't be too surprised if the visitors make life tough for the men in yellow.

Our Villarreal vs Real Oviedo Prediction
This is a big ask for the visitors, make no mistake about that, but one thing that those who don't yet know will learn about Veljo Paunovic's men is that they're well organised and tough to break down. The Oviedo boys will have no problem adopting a pragmatic approach at Estadio de la Ceramica.
After all, such an approach served them well on the road last season, where they often kept clean sheets and were typically involved in low-scoring games. Of course, the hosts likely will have the quality to get the job done, but don't expect them to run away with it.
Our Villarreal vs Real Oviedo Pick: Under 2.5 Goals.
