Sabadell and Real Oviedo last met in May 21, and Real Oviedo came away with a 2-1 win. Before that, at Sabadell's home ground, it was Real Oviedo who edged it 0-1. This time both arrive with the same 8 points from 5 matches, but with two very different styles of play. Sabadell went unbeaten to open the league until the latest match, where they lost at home 0-2. The attack still has something to offer, but the defense is starting to show cracks. Real Oviedo, meanwhile, have conceded just one goal across their last five matches. Their defense is what lets them hold their ground, even if their attack does not fire as often as the hosts'. Sabadell hold less of the ball and like to wait for counterattacking moments. Real Oviedo should therefore see more of the ball and control the tempo in spells. Games like this often do not open up into an early exchange of blows, and whoever loses focus first in the second half will be at a disadvantage. The first thing to watch is how solidly Real Oviedo can set up their defense in the first half.
