Atletico Madrid is seeking to regain its necessary momentum after a string of consecutive victories.

With 48 points, Atletico firmly holds 4th place and is applying pressure on 3rd-placed Villarreal.

Although the away record of "Los Rojiblancos" this season is not particularly impressive (only 3 wins in 12 away matches), facing a bottom-of-the-table opponent like Oviedo presents a golden opportunity for Simeone and his players to improve this statistic. The excellent form of Alexander Sorloth, who just scored a hat-trick in Europe, will be a key weapon for the visiting side.

On the other side, Real Oviedo is enduring difficult times at the bottom of the table with a mere 17 points. However, their courageous performance in a 3-3 draw with Real Sociedad in the previous round has sparked a glimmer of hope for the hosts. Their attack, which had been quiet (only 16 goals in 24 matches), unexpectedly erupted, providing a positive sign for coach Guillermo Almada. Nevertheless, the 8-point gap to safety remains a steep mountain to climb. Hosting an in-form Atletico while their defense continues to make frequent errors is a challenge likely beyond the reach of the Asturian side.

Even though Oviedo has home advantage and a "nothing to lose" mentality, the disparity in quality and current form is too significant. Atletico Madrid, with its star players hitting peak form, is predicted to secure all three points to solidify their position in the top four.
