As the highly anticipated playoff clash against Almeria approaches, Real Oviedo is intensifying its preparations both mentally and physically. The club is building on the momentum from their recent victory over Cadiz, with coaching efforts centered on maintaining a focused and confident mindset heading into Saturday’s first leg.
Key Player Returns at Crucial Time
A major boost for Oviedo comes in the form of Hassan’s timely recovery. The winger, who left the field with discomfort in the last fixture, appears to have only suffered a minor setback. His recent history of injury in Cartagena, which sidelined him for two matches, had raised concerns about his availability for the playoffs. However, recent training participation confirms his readiness to travel with the squad. This comes as welcome news, especially given the continued absence of Ilyas Chaira, which limits the team’s width options.
Focused Training Ahead of the Battle
Oviedo’s training camp reflects a meticulous preparation plan. Starters from the Cadiz match were assigned gym recovery routines, while squad members who didn’t feature in the last game engaged in a high-intensity training match against the club’s reserve team, Vetusta. Key figures such as Dani Calvo, Colombatto, and Rahim made light appearances during the session. After a scheduled rest day, full-team training will resume with an emphasis on tactical drills and match readiness.
Ticket Details for Supporters
Real Oviedo has outlined the ticketing process for fans attending the second leg at the Carlos Tartiere. Season ticket holders can secure their seats at a discounted rate of 20 euros for adults and 10 euros for fans under 18. Non-members will be charged 100 euros, while companion tickets (available exclusively to members) are priced at 50 euros, with a limit of one per holder.
For the away leg in Almeria, 400 tickets have been designated for Oviedo fans. Priced at 20 euros each, they will be distributed through the club’s official channels and affiliated supporter groups. The initiative aims to ensure a vocal and visible Oviedo presence at Power Horse Stadium.
Final Prediction: Real Oviedo 1 – 1 Almeria
