Correct score prediction: Real Oviedo 1-3 Atletico Madrid
Real Oviedo have been La Liga's worst team this season, winning only three of their 24 league matches. They are up against an Atletico Madrid side that have won back-to-back games, scoring four goals in each victory.
Keeping in mind that Atletico Madrid came out on top the last three times these teams clashed, we are confident that the visitors will emerge victorious after all is said and done.

*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Atletico Madrid booked a place in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League with a comfortable 4-1 victory over Club Brugge earlier this week. Diego Simeone's troops will turn their attention to La Liga, where they trail leaders Barcelona by 13 points.
On the other hand, Real Oviedo are coming off a 3-3 draw at Real Sociedad. They have managed only one win in their last 18 matches and are last in the Spanish top flight ahead of their skirmish with fourth-placed Atletico Madrid.
Keeping that in mind, Atletico Madrid are the expected winners at 7/10 (1.70). Teams with these odds generally have a 58.8% probability of winning.

Real Oviedo preview: Few injury concerns
Real Oviedo will have to do without David Costas, as the former Celta Vigo defender is sidelined with a groin problem until March.
Holding midfielder Santiago Colombatto missed the thrilling 3-3 draw at Reale Arena last week because of suspension, but he will be back in the squad this weekend to feature alongside Kwasi Sibo in a double pivot.
It is expected that Federico Vinas will lead the line here, while veteran playmaker Santi Cazorla pulls the strings from the middle, but the trio of Ovie Ejaria, Eric Bailly, and Alberto Reina are questionable.
Predicted lineup: Escandell (GK), Vidal, Carmo, Bailly, Lopez, Sibo, Colombatto, Hassan, Reina, Chaira & Vinas

Atletico Madrid preview: Eyeing their third consecutive win
Los Colchoneros could have Nico Gonzalez and Pablo Barrios back in the squad for this game, as both players have returned to team training following thigh and groin injury layoffs, respectively.
With a key Copa del Rey semifinal second-leg clash against Barcelona coming up in a few days, Simeone could decide to rest some key players for this game, something the Argentine gaffer has done a few times this season.
Predicted lineup: Oblak (GK), Ruggeri, Lenglet, Gimenez, Molina, Cardoso, Llorente, Baena, Mendoza, Almada & Sorloth

Player to watch: Alexander Sorloth
Alexander Sorloth put in a man-of-the-match performance earlier this week, scoring a hat-trick in Atletico Madrid's 4-1 victory over Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League. The former Villarreal forward has five goals in his last two appearances and will fancy his chances against Real Oviedo after scoring a brace in the reverse fixture.
