*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Real Oviedo put in an impressive performance earlier this week, holding their own and leading at the half-time break in their clash with Barcelona.
However, Veljko Paunovic’s men were completely outplayed in the second half, as they were handed their fifth defeat of the season after conceding three second-half goals.
Oviedo are 19th in La Liga ahead of their clash with 11th-placed Valencia, who have a 2-2-2 win-draw-loss record.
Bearing that in mind, Valencia are the expected winners at 7/10 (1.70). Teams with these odds generally have a 58.8% probability of winning.

Valencia preview: A clean bill of health
Valencia will head into this game without any fitness concerns, which means coach Carlos Corberan has a full squad from which to select his best XI, presumably the very same one that started in Cornella last time out.
Forwards Arnaut Danjuma and Hugo Duro have developed a sharp understanding of each other in Valencia's final third, and the duo are expected to start up front again, especially after both players netted in the recent 2-2 draw with Espanyol.
Predicted lineup: Agirrezabala (GK), Foulquier, Tarrega, Diakhaby, Gaya, Rioja, Santamaria, Guerra, Lopez, Duro & Danjuma.

Real Oviedo preview: Hoping to halt their losing streak
Real Oviedo, meanwhile, will have Nacho Vidal, Luka Ilic, David Costas and Ovie Ejaria unavailable due to injuries for this trip to the Mestalla.
Salomon Rondon started in the recent defeat to Barcelona and is favoured to lead the line for the visitors once again. The former Everton man is yet to score for Real Oviedo and will be eager to do so on Monday.
Predicted lineup: Escandell (GK), Ahijado, Carmo, Calvo, Alhassane, Sibo, Dendoncker, Hassan, Ilic, Chaira & Rondon.
