Albacete - Real Oviedo

Rober Gonzalez will be central to Albacete's attacking ambitions as they host Real Oviedo at Estadio Carlos Belmonte on 29 August 2026 for matchday 3 of the LaLiga2. The hosts are looking to steady their ship after a difficult start to the campaign, having suffered consecutive defeats against Las Palmas and Real Sociedad B. With Samuel Obeng and Victor San Bartolome both sidelined, the expected XI led by goalkeeper Diego Marino faces significant pressure to find defensive stability and provide a platform for their forward line to break their scoring drought.

Real Oviedo arrive at this fixture also searching for momentum following a goalless draw with Granada and a narrow loss to Leganes. While Christopher Ramos remains a focal point for the visitors, they must navigate this contest without the injured Ilyas Chaira. Given the history between these two sides, including a 1-0 victory for the visitors in their most recent meeting on 16 February 2025, the match is likely to be a tight affair as both teams strive to secure their first three points of the new season.
