Barcelona's leading gap in the La Liga standings has narrowed from 4 points to only one point in the previous round. Real Madrid surpassed Levante while Hansi Flick's team unexpectedly lost to Real Sociedad with a score of 1-2.
That was Barca's first defeat in the domestic league since the end of October last year. However, the Catalan team quickly regained their spirits with a 4-2 victory over Slavia Prague in the Champions League in the middle of the week, thereby moving closer to the goal of finishing the group stage in the top 8.
Barcelona will close the Champions League group stage by hosting Copenhagen at Camp Nou, but for now, their top priority is still La Liga. In this round, Real Madrid has temporarily risen to the top of the table after a victory over Villarreal, thereby increasing pressure on coach Flick and his team.
In the first leg of the season, Barcelona won 3-1 against Real Oviedo. However, the last time the two teams faced each other at Camp Nou, in May 2001, witnessed a minimal 1-0 victory for the away team.
This is clearly a challenging season for Real Oviedo, which is somewhat understandable when they have just returned to La Liga for the first time since the 2000-2001 season. They have only won 2 matches, drawn 7 matches and lost 11 matches after 20 rounds, finishing last with only 13 points.
Oviedo is currently 7 points behind the safe zone and is the team with the fewest goals in the league, with only 11 goals since the beginning of the season. They have also gone through three generations of coaches in a season, with Guillermo Almada being appointed to take over the hot seat last month.
