Oviedo take on the visitors Granada in the round 1/32-finals of Spanish Copa del Rey. The match will be played on Thursday, December 22st at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere (Oviedo).
Oviedo have long been held in the Segunda. The club recently got the financial capacity for serious progress. The project belongs to Carlos Slim, one of the richest men in the world. Everyone is grateful to the Mexican for the fact that he saved the project from extinction, and ensured the rise to the Segunda. But on this he calmed down, and for a long time. No, there was a rather optimistic last season, when quite a bit was not enough to play in the playoffs. But in the new draw, instead of the progress that was hoped for, there was a rollback to the bottom of the standings. There was, however, a good segment, when the month, from the beginning of October to November, passed without defeat. But then this streak ended with 0-1 with Eibar.

Granada focused on fight for return to La Liga. Relatively recently there already in the Segunda. Then they were headed there by Diego Martinez Penas, and raised the team up to the playoffs of the Europa League. But the potential of that line-up was also exhausted, and the mentor, perhaps understanding this best of all, decided to leave at the peak, in 2021. A year later, the struggle for survival in the LaLiga was lost. But now Granada are seen as the favorite at a new, lower level. But they are not consitent enough to fully justify such a status. And also they can not gain a foothold in the leaders of the Segunda. Under such conditions, the cup match looks like ballast.
Oviedo has only lost 1 of his last 4 fights. In early November, they recorded 1-0 win at home in the Segunda. We believe in the new success of Oviedo at home. But let's insure handicap "0".
Prediction for the match: Oviedo to win with 0.0 handicap.
