Team Form and Analysis for Real Oviedo
Real Oviedo’s return to the top flight has been difficult, as they currently occupy a spot in the relegation zone. Their primary struggle has been a worrying lack of goals, giving them the worst offensive record in the division. Despite showing attacking promise in flashes, such as a thrilling 3-3 draw away to Girona in their last league outing, defensive frailties have consistently undermined their efforts.
Domestic Form (La Liga):
The team’s recent league form is a clear concern: Loss, Loss, Win, Loss, Loss, Draw (LLWLLD). With only seven points from ten matches, the pressure is mounting on coach Luis Carrión. Their home form has also been poor, picking up just three points from five league matches at the Carlos Tartiere.
Key Player: Salomón Rondón
The experienced Venezuelan striker Salomón Rondón remains the key focal point of the attack. At 36, his physical presence and experience are invaluable, and his ability to find the net, as seen with two goals this season, will be crucial if Oviedo is to secure a much-needed victory. Midfielder Leander Dendoncker is also a key figure in controlling the tempo of the game.
Team Form and Analysis for CA Osasuna
CA Osasuna sit marginally safer but are far from comfortable in mid-table, having also endured a mixed start to the season. Their overall form has been inconsistent, with their solid home record being completely offset by an abysmal run on the road.
Domestic Form (La Liga):
Osasuna’s recent league form stands at: Loss, Draw, Loss, Win, Loss, Loss (LDLWLL). While they did secure a confidence-boosting 5-0 win in the Copa del Rey recently, their league performances require urgent improvement. Crucially, they hold the worst away record in the league, having lost all five of their away fixtures this term, scoring just one goal in the process.
Key Player: Ante Budimir
Veteran forward Ante Budimir is the undoubted danger man for Osasuna. The Croatian international leads the team’s scoring charts with five goals in 11 appearances. His clinical finishing and aerial threat will test Oviedo’s vulnerable defence. The creativity and energy from midfielder Jon Moncayola will also be vital in linking the midfield and attack.
Head-to-Head Record
The historical rivalry between Real Oviedo and CA Osasuna suggests a typically close contest, though their recent top-flight meetings have been sporadic.
Overall Record (approx. 55 matches): Real Oviedo hold a slight historical edge with 25 wins, 11 draws, and 19 losses against Osasuna.
Last Meeting: The last encounter in June 2019 saw Osasuna win 1-0 in a Segunda División fixture.
Recent League Meetings: In their last four league matches against each other (primarily in the Segunda División), the teams have alternated victories.

Prediction
This match presents a classic clash of struggles: Real Oviedo’s general battle against relegation compounded by an anemic attack, versus Osasuna’s remarkable inability to secure points away from home. Osasuna’s overall squad quality is arguably superior, and their recent Copa del Rey demolition will have boosted morale, despite their poor away league record. Oviedo, on the other hand, will be buoyed by the desperation of a home crowd and the slight promise shown in their high-scoring draw against Girona. Given the circumstances and Osasuna’s travel woes, a tense, low-scoring affair is expected, which may just allow the home side to scrape a valuable point.
Predicted Score: Real Oviedo 1 – 1 Osasuna
