Pre-match review Villarreal vs Real Oviedo

Villarreal had an unexpectedly successful 2024/25 season. The "Yellow Submarine" finished in 5th place, winning a ticket to the Champions League in the 2025/26 season. Therefore, this season will be an important test for Villarreal because they will have to compete in many arenas. To prepare for the fierce competitions ahead, Villarreal has added 5 new contracts this summer. The most notable of which is attacking midfielder Alberto Moleiro from Las Palmas, this is the team's most expensive contract. He is expected to fill the huge void left by "Conductor" Alex Baena.

Coach Marcelino and his team will start the new season by hosting the newly promoted team Real Oviedo. This is a great opportunity for Villarreal to win all 3 points. Real Oviedo has just returned to the top flight of Spanish football after 24 years of absence. Therefore, the small team will inevitably be "overwhelmed" by the suffocating pressure at Ceramica Stadium.

In terms of squad quality, experience and home advantage, Villarreal are clearly on a different level than Real Oviedo. This is an opportunity for them to test their squad, test the form of their new recruits and build confidence before entering a fierce series of matches. However, the element of surprise is always present, especially when Real Oviedo is in high spirits in their return to La Liga. Villarreal cannot afford to be complacent if they do not want to lose points regrettably.
