Real Oviedo<\/strong> welcome Espanyol<\/strong> at the Estadio Carlos Tartiere this Friday in their first La Liga meeting in over 24 years. <\/a>Under the glare of a new coach and heavy pressure, the hosts will aim to use the home advantage \u2014 but their season so far makes this no easy task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oviedo\u2019s<\/a> return to La Liga has not been kind so far: six losses in eight matches (with just two wins) led to the recent sacking of Veljko Paunovi\u0107. <\/a>His replacement, Luis Carri\u00f3n<\/strong><\/a>, arrives on a deal until the end of the campaign, tasked with immediately reigniting a forward line that has scored only four goals<\/strong> \u2014 the lowest in the league. <\/a>Their last defeat, a 2-0 loss to Levante, highlighted their attacking limitations: just two shots on target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the flip side, Espanyol have started more steadily, crafting their best La Liga opening in terms of early games since 1995\/96. <\/a>However, momentum has stalled \u2014 they\u2019ve gone winless in four (D2, L2) and are still looking for their first away win (D2, L1). <\/a>Their away attack is also cold: no goals in their last two road matches. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
