"Starting with the hosts, with many around the Mestalla left disappointed last season as Valencia were forced to settle for another bottom-half finish among Spain's elite, Carlos Corberan's men know the importance of finding some crucial stability this time around. Suffering last-gasp heartbreak away at Espanyol earlier in the week as they eventually had to settle for a 2-2 stalemate in Catalonia, the former West Brom boss has seen his squad win just a pair of their first six La Liga appearances."
"Returning from a long-term knee issue earlier in the month, former Sporting Lisbon youngster Thierry Correira could get some more minutes under his belt. Finding the net away at Espanyol on Tuesday night and now recording three goals in his previous four La Liga appearances, the red-hot Hugo Duro will lead the line here. Likewise, making a real impact after completing a permanent switch from Girona over the summer, ex-Tottenham loanee Arnaut Danjuma will partner Duro in the final third."
Valencia will host Real Oviedo at the Mestalla as they seek a route into La Liga's top half. Valencia have won only two of their first six La Liga matches and drew 2-2 at Espanyol after late heartbreak, following a 6-0 defeat at Barcelona on their return from the September international break. Los Ches have lost just once at the Mestalla across all competitions since the end of February. Valencia report no fresh injuries; Thierry Correira has returned from a long-term knee issue, Hugo Duro has three goals in his last four league appearances, and Arnaut Danjuma will partner him.
