**Oviedo roll into Ceuta as the form team, but the hosts have shown they can scrap on home turf.** Real Oviedo's won three of their last five; Ceuta's wildly inconsistent (1W 2D 2L), though they did steamroll Real Sociedad B 3-1 at home recently. 🔥

Oviedo's missing three players to injury, which could blunt their attacking edge. Ceuta will bank on that and their familiar Estadio Alfonso Murube crowd to stay compact and steal something.

Key storylines:

- **Real Oviedo's form vs Ceuta's home grit** — visitors come in hot but injuries bite; hosts aren't to be underestimated in their own backyard
- **Attack-minded Oviedo midfield** — Y. Lachhab, Jacobo González, and M. Goti will need to impose, but can they penetrate a stubborn Ceuta shape?
- **K. A. Kone and J. Escobar's link-up** — Ceuta's attacking thrust on the flanks could create space to exploit on the counter

Expected lineups:

- **AD Ceuta**: G. Vallejo, J. Matos, Carlos, A. Caparrós, Y. Bodiger, A. Meléndez, K. Zalazar, K. A. Kone, J. Escobar, A. Camacho
- **Real Oviedo**: A. Escandell, S. Rodríguez, D. Calvo, C. Domínguez, Y. Lachhab, Jacobo González, M. Goti, P. Sáenz, C. Ramos

Prediction:

**1-1 draw.** Oviedo have the quality but injuries plus a stubborn home side point to a cagey stalemate.
