In the 7th round of the Spanish La Liga on September 29, 2025, Valencia will face Oviedo. Neither team wants to lose.
Our Prediction for Valencia vs Oviedo
The team from "Mestalla" had a disastrous start last season. As a result, the recent hero (now as coach, though he was a cult player there too!) was replaced in the winter by Carvalhal. He managed to lift the team to a safe twelfth place with 46 points. In the new season, they’ve managed to pick up points at home—a draw with Real Sociedad, and a rout of Getafe. Meanwhile, away, they lost 0-1 to Osasuna and suffered a heavy 0-6 defeat to Barcelona. However, after a 2-0 win at Athletic, they drew 2-2 with Espanyol in an away match.
The visitors were out of La Liga for a long time. They looked like an unmotivated mid-table Segunda side. But then, twice in a row, they managed to reach the play-offs. While they failed in 2024, last season they won the promotion play-offs. The La Liga campaign has been tough, and no one was surprised by defeats to Villarreal and Real. But in the summer, they managed their first win—at home against Sociedad. In September, they lost to Getafe without much of a chance, 0-2. They also lost to Elche without scoring, albeit narrowly. In the last round, after opening the scoring against Barcelona, they predictably lost.
Danjuma and his teammates average 1.33 goals scored and 1.67 conceded per game. The newcomer has a very weak attack, averaging just 0.33 goals per match, while conceding 1.83 on average.
