Barcelona will aim to reduce Real Madrid’s lead at the top of La Liga to just 2 points as it makes the long journey west on Thursday to take on Real Oviedo.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens.
The high-scoring Blaugrana remain unbeaten, with last weekend’s 3-0 win against Getafe at the Estadi Johan Cruyff their fifth of the campaign so far. The defending champs’ goal tally so far this season stands at an impressive 18.
Oviedo, meanwhile, still appears to be coming to terms with life in the Spanish top flight, with just a single victory in its opening five matches since promotion. Veljko Paunović’s team comes into this game off the back of a demoralising 1-0 defeat to fellow La Liga newcomers Elche.
Real Oviedo hosts Barcelona at the Estadio Municipal Carlos Tartiere on Thursday, Sept. 25. Kickoff is set for 9:30 p.m. CET local time, making it a 3:30 p.m. ET or 12:30 p.m. PT start in the US, a 8:30 p.m. BST start in the UK and a 5:30 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Friday morning.
Ferran Torres scored a first-half brace for Barcelona in their 3-0 win over Getafe on Sunday.
