Alaves vs Oviedo Prediction
🔊 What feats can the "Carbayones" achieve against the systematic Alaves? The "Glorious" are one of the most challenging teams for any La Liga side. This is because Eduardo Coudet, upon his arrival, focused on building a solid defense-maintaining compactness at the back and a patient buildup play form the core of the tactical model for the club from Vitoria-Gasteiz. Real Oviedo, who will visit "Mendizorroza" this coming Sunday, face a tough challenge. Bookmakers give the home side a threefold advantage.

H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Deportivo Alaves Team Overview
⚪ The team from Vitoria-Gasteiz stands as a solid mid-table side in the Spanish league, desperately trying to avoid a relegation battle. However, their limited resources mean the "Glorious" can't aim for more than a mid-table finish. Currently, Alaves sit in 15th place in the league, with 18 points from 17 matches. A key strength for Eduardo Coudet's squad is their performance at home. In 9 home fixtures, the "Bean Destroyers" have suffered only 3 defeats, collecting 14 points in the process.
🔵 The final match of 2025 didn't bring much joy to Alaves fans. Their trip to "El Sadar" ended in disaster with a 0-3 defeat. Particularly disappointing was the lack of creativity from the "Glorious" in their attacking phases. Alaves are generally known for their low scoring rate-averaging 0.82 goals per game, ranking 17th in the league. Eduardo Coudet doesn't stick to a single formation, primarily using a 4-3-3 but adapting it based on the game situation. The top scorer for Alaves in this season of La Liga is Carlos Vicente, with 4 goals in 17 matches.

Real Oviedo Team Overview
🟡 Real Oviedo's winless streak continues to extend, now reaching 11 consecutive matches across all competitions. Their lack of scoring is particularly disappointing, as the team has failed to find the net in seven straight La Liga matches. On average, the La Liga newcomers score just 0.41 goals per game, the worst record in the league. Their home form offers no respite, with only 2 goals scored in 9 matches at the Nuevo Carlos Tartiere.
🔵 In their last La Liga outing, Real Oviedo faced Celta Vigo and played to a 0-0 draw. This match marked Guillermo Almada's debut as head coach of the team. However, even fresh ideas in the locker room couldn't help the club end their winless streak or find the back of the net. A lack of creativity in their ball movement remains a major issue for the La Liga newcomers. The team's top scorer is still 36-year-old Salomón Rondón, who has managed just 2 goals in 16 appearances.

Latest news
Deportivo Alaves
📰 Just over a year ago, Eduardo Coudet took charge of Alaves. The Argentine coach inherited a struggling team lacking a clear structure. Nonetheless, he managed to bring some clarity to the tactical approach of the "Glorious" and secured their spot in the top tier of Spanish football. This season, expectations are higher for the coach, with hopes for more than just a fight for survival until the final matchday. Progress is evident, yet Alaves still lack consistency. The absence of a prolific striker remains a key issue for the club from Vitoria-Gasteiz. Lucas Boye, signed last summer, has yet to meet the expectations of fans and the coaching staff.
❌ Among the unavailable players for Alaves' upcoming league match are Facundo Garces (suspension), Victor Parada (accumulation of yellow cards), and Lucas Boye (muscle injury).
Real Oviedo
📰 Recently, two intriguing transfer updates have emerged regarding Real Oviedo. First, Real Oviedo and Club León have reached an agreement for the loan of midfielder Nico Fonseca until the end of the season. The 27-year-old Uruguayan has been a key figure for his club due to his ability to cover large areas of the field and perform the hard work. It remains to be seen if Fonseca can strengthen the troubled area for the "Carbayones" and help them avoid relegation. The other news involves the departure of Salomón Rondón, as his loan spell with Real Oviedo has concluded. Despite not having any standout moments, he remains the club's top scorer in the first half of the season.
❌ The participation of several players in the upcoming match is in doubt: Ovimuno Ejaria (leg injury), Álvaro Lemos (knee injury), and Nacho Vidal (leg injury).
⚽ Goal Prediction
In 6 of Real Oviedo's last 7 matches, no more than two goals have been scored. Interestingly, the same trend is evident in 6 of the last 8 head-to-head encounters between the "Glorious" and the "Carbayones." Both teams are not particularly efficient in attack and tend to play a more defensive strategy. It's unlikely we'll witness a goal fest with numerous scoring opportunities. Our editorial choice is under 2.5 goals.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Let's take a look at the average number of corners earned per game by each team this season: Alaves averages 4.9, while Real Oviedo averages 3.8. The rather conservative tactical approach of both the "Glorious" and the "Carbayones" is unlikely to break this statistical pattern. We do not expect a high number of corners. Our editorial choice is under 9.5 corners.
Editor's Prediction
Alaves, despite their inconsistency this season, appear to be a more promising side compared to Real Oviedo at the moment. The "Carbayones" seem to be in disarray, as evidenced by two managerial changes in the first half of the season. It's also important to note Alaves' strong performances at home - Guillermo Almada's squad will find it challenging to disappoint the fans at Mendizorrotza Stadium. We predict a final score of 1-0, with the key bet being on an Alaves victory.
