Osasuna will host Real Oviedo at the Estadio El Sadar on Saturday in another round of the 2025-26 La Liga campaign. The home side, who only missed out on European football last season due to an inferior head-to-head record with Rayo Vallecano, have found results difficult to come by this term and sit just two points above the drop zone midway through the campaign.
After losing 1-0 to 10-man Girona in their last La Liga outing, Osasuna hoped to find solace in the domestic cup as they took on Real Sociedad in the last 16 of the Copa del Rey on Tuesday. However, Gorritxoak suffered another setback, squandering a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 in regulation time before going on to lose the tie on penalties.
Thanks for the submission!
Real Oviedo, meanwhile, have unsurprisingly found it difficult to readjust to life in the top flight after a 25-year absence from the division and currently sit rock-bottom in the standings with 13 points. Trading tackles with Real Betis last weekend, Oviedo looked set for their first win since September after Ilyas Chaira gave the newly promoted side the lead midway through the second half, before their opponents levelled the scores at 1-1 in the closing 10 minutes.

Osasuna vs Real Oviedo Prediction
Gorritxoak are on a run of back-to-back defeats after losing just one of their previous seven games across all competitions. However, they have home advantage on their side this weekend and will look to channel that into a winning performance.
Oviedistas are on a wretched 13-game winless run across all competitions, losing seven times in that period and will need something special to snap that streak this weekend.
Prediction: Osasuna 1-0 Real Oviedo
