The Catalan giants face newly promoted Real Oviedo. The last time Barcelona played them was in 2001, when Barca lost 1-0. So matches against Real Oviedo have never been easy, but positive side is Barcelona have made an unbeaten start to the new campaign. It's better to forget the past, Barcelona should win tonight by three or four goals.
We have seen Barcelona stumble many times in the past against smaller teams. Whatever , Barcelona will not make any mistakes in this match. Barcelona has already lost the top spot in the table due to their failure to win against Rayo Vallecano.
Oviedo have lost 4 of their 5 matches. Quite a poor performance by the team. One interesting thing is that Oviedo has only managed to score 1 goal in 5 matches. In today's match, Odiedo will definitely play defensively and try to draw. If Barcelona plays attacking strategy today, they have a chance to win by a big margin.
Oviedo realized that when they forced themselves to play open football, they would be destroyed. In fact, that's what they did in the first half. Although not everyone likes this kind of parking the bus tactic, I think it was actually a very good move for them.
However, Barcelona is not a club to be underestimated. With their well-established mentality, despite having a relatively young squad, and their much more solid condition, Flick only needed to apply more pressure in the second half, which was just a matter of time before Oviedo lost concentration and lost. That is what caused them to collapse after playing so well in the first half.
This victory seems reasonable for Barcelona, as three points under their current circumstances and against such a mismatched opponent are to be expected. With this result, Barcelona maintains their position below Madrid, who will play tomorrow in the derby which is a match I believe will be worth waiting for.
