Real Oviedo head into their trip to AD Ceuta FC this Saturday in high spirits following a convincing victory.
The squad travels to the Alfonso Murube stadium aiming to take three more points from the bottom-placed side. The Ceuta-based team occupies 21st position and is searching for its first win of the season, presenting a clear opportunity for the Blues. The match against Eibar showed a notable offensive improvement, with Carlos Domínguez scoring a brace and Mikel Goti López opening the scoring.
Squad status
The main doubt remains the fitness of midfielder David Jiménez, who missed the last match with a muscle strain. The club's medical report has not given a specific timeline for his return, but he is considered a doubt for the trip.
With 3 goals in 7 appearances, Carlos Domínguez is solidifying his position as the team's top scorer this campaign. His link-up with Enzo Pérez Miranda, who provided an assist against Eibar, will be key to breaking down a home defence that has conceded heavily.
The schedule is demanding after the international break. Following the clash in Ceuta, Oviedo will face two direct rivals for promotion places. The coaching staff's plan involves rotating some players to maintain freshness, especially in midfield. Supporters can follow the squad updates and upcoming fixtures in our fixtures section.

Midfielder Alberto Reina spoke about the upcoming match against AD Ceuta FC, the club where he played. "For me, it's the most special away game of the year," stated Reina. The player, who scored in the defeat to Eldense, warned about the difficulty of playing in Ceuta despite their poor run. The team, ninth with 14 points, aims to maintain its upward trend after beating Eibar 3-1.
