Real OviedoSix crosses in home loss
Javi Lopez recorded six crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Deportivo Alaves.
Analysis: Javi Lopez attempted six crosses as his side lost 1-0 to Deportivo Alaves. The left back returned to the starting lineup after serving a one-game ban. He created two chances for the second time in three appearances and attempted six crosses or more for the second time this season.
Option again
Lopez is available for selection after serving a one-match suspension Thursday against Real Madrid.
Analysis: Lopez has seen regular action as the left-sided member of a back four throughout the season, so he should bounce back at the expense of Rahim Alhassane in the remaining games. While he has struggled with disciplinary issues and his decisive output has been limited to one assist this campaign, Lopez may look to rack up defensive stats if given a few more opportunities before Oviedo heads back to the second division.
Earns red card
Lopez was sent off in the 54th minute of Sunday's match against Getafe.
Analysis: Lopez saw his marching orders after a VAR review Sunday, as his initial yellow card was upgraded to a red. This will leave him out for the next match, meaning the loss of their starting left-back. That said, Rahim Alhassane is likely to be his replacement until Lopez returns.
Registers most crosses
Lopez recorded four crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 3-0 loss to Betis.
Analysis: Lopez recorded the joint-most crosses in the game and created two chances. He also recorded three clearances, two interceptions and two tackles. He has now accumulated 13 clearances, six tackles and four interceptions in the last four games, playing his part in one clean sheet in that span.
Seven crosses Thursday
Lopez generated seven crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Thursday's 1-1 draw versus Villarreal.
Analysis: Lopez recorded a season-high seven crosses Thursday, recording one accurate cross and one chance created in the process. He was solid on the defensive end too, making three clearances and two interceptions on that end of the pitch. He was subbed off in the 90th minute for Rahim Alhassane.
