Real Oviedo head into their visit to Sabadell this Sunday on the back of a convincing 3-0 win at Valladolid last time out. The Blues, sitting seventh in the table with eight points, aim to cement their positive momentum at the Estadi de la Nova Creu Alta.
The rout at the José Zorrilla was a major boost. Goals from Carlos Domínguez, Dani Calvo and Pablo Sáenz, the latter now with two this season, solidified a defence that has conceded just once in five matches. Sabadell, eleventh in the standings, arrive after a 0-2 loss to Mallorca.
The Oviedo manager is expected to keep faith in a squad that has shown resilience. Aarón Escandell in goal, the centre-back pairing of Calvo and Domínguez, and Sáenz up front are key figures.

The match, for the sixth round of the Segunda División, kicks off on 20 September at 12:00 UTC. A win would allow Oviedo to close in on the promotion places. The team's progress and upcoming schedule can be followed on the standings and fixtures pages.
