The La Liga round 22 match between Real Oviedo and Girona will take place 31 january at Estadio Carlos Tartiere. Real Oviedo vs Girona: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Real Oviedo
Real Oviedo are still bottom of the Primera table. In the last round the home side suffered a heavy defeat away to Barcelona (0:3), and for the first time since October the club has now lost two La Liga matches in a row. The winless run in this competition has reached 14 matches (7 draws, 7 defeats). Since the start of the current La Liga season Real Oviedo have collected just 2 wins in 21 matches. With these results the home side are increasingly moving away from the safety of 17th place, and their deficit has now grown to 9 points. The main problem remains the side's blunt attacking play: Real Oviedo have scored only 11 goals in the current Primera campaign – the worst tally in the league. At the same time, if we look at total goals conceded (34), only Girona (35) have conceded more.
- The last five league matches played at the home side's ground have ended in draws.
- At least one team failed to score in 6 of Real Oviedo's last 7 home league matches.
- The club has conceded in 5 of its last 6 La Liga games.
Potential Real Oviedo Lineup (4-2-3-1)
Aarón Escandell – Javi López, David Costas, David Carmo, Lucas Ahijado – Santiago Colombatto, Quasi Sibo – Houssem Hassan, Ilyas Chaira, Alberto Reina – Federico Viñas.
Participation of midfielder Ovi Edjaria and defender Rahim Alhassan is in doubt.
Girona
Girona salvaged a late equaliser at home against Getafe in the last Monday fixture (1:1). The visitors ended a run of three consecutive La Liga wins, but they have now avoided defeat in four rounds in a row – a stretch the club had not enjoyed since November–December 2024. Even after dropping points the visiting team moved into the top half of the table and currently sit in 10th place in the Primera. That said, Girona can hardly feel safe: their not-so-comfortable cushion above the relegation zone has been reduced to 4 points. By contrast, to reach the European places the club would need to make up 7 points.
- The Catalans have scored in 5 of their last 6 league matches.
- Five of the club's last seven away matches in this competition have been over the total.
- Both teams have scored in 7 of Girona's last 9 away La Liga matches.
Potential Girona Lineup (4-5-1)
Marc-André ter Stegen – Hugo Rincón, Daley Blind, Vitor Reis, Alex Moreno – Fran Beltrán, Ivan Martín, Bryan Gil, Viktor Tsyhankov, Thomas Lemar – Vladyslav Vanat.
Midfielder Arnau Martínez has returned from suspension. Unavailable due to injury are goalkeeper Juan Carlos Martin, midfielders Azzedine Ounahi and Donny van de Beek, and forward Portu.
Real Oviedo vs Girona: Match Prediction
With every passing week Real Oviedo are edging closer to a return to the Segunda. Yes, there is still time to stage a recovery, and it is fair to say the home side have improved their play, but the results remain bleak. In La Liga Real Oviedo have not won since September, and they have just lost two matches in a row for the first time in a long period. At home all season the club have recorded only one victory, a 1:0 win over Real Sociedad in August. Since that game Real Oviedo have managed 3 draws, 5 defeats and only 2 goals scored at home.
We note that Girona have picked up at least one point across four La Liga rounds, with three wins in that sequence. The visiting team have climbed into the top half, but given the competition a couple of poor results could push them back toward the relegation zone. Therefore Girona need to maintain their level and avoid unnecessary slips, especially against opponents like the current Real Oviedo. We also note that Girona are unbeaten in three consecutive away La Liga matches, although earlier the club had lost many points during an eight-match winless run (3 draws, 5 defeats).
