Oviedo take on the visitors Osasuna in the round 11 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Monday, November 3rd at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere (Oviedo).
Oviedo are facing the expected challenges. The Carbayones left La Liga two decades ago and even came close to bankruptcy before finding new ownership and settling in the Segunda. Two seasons ago, they finished sixth and reached the promotion playoffs, though they fell short back then. This time, however, they did better — passing through the playoff stage and finally returning to the top flight. In La Liga, they have already celebrated wins over Real Sociedad and Valencia, but otherwise struggled, earning just one more point in the latest round against a struggling Girona while losing all other games. That draw was dramatic — after leading 2-0 and then trailing 2-3, Oviedo equalized deep into added time to salvage a result. Still, both sides remain at the bottom of the standings. Even in the Copa del Rey this week, Oviedo were eliminated after a disappointing 2-4 defeat away to modest Ourense. Despite moments of resilience, Oviedo’s defensive instability continues to cost them crucial points. The team’s lack of top-tier experience is showing, and maintaining consistency looks like their main challenge this season.

Osasuna had been improving steadily in recent years. Under Arrasate, who took charge after another relegation, they even qualified for the Europa Conference League — though they fell at the first qualifying hurdle — and reached the Copa del Rey final in 2023. Last season, with Moreno in charge, they narrowly missed out on eighth place to Rayo Vallecano on goal difference. Against this backdrop, new coach Lisci has been underwhelming. The team has lost most of its matches, especially away from home, where they’ve suffered a string of defeats. In the previous round, hosting Celta — a side that hadn’t won in the league before — they were beaten 2-3 in front of their own fans. A 5-0 Copa del Rey win followed, but it came against very lowly opposition in the early stages of the tournament. Osasuna remain unpredictable — capable of impressive attacking displays but still struggling with defensive discipline. They desperately need a solid away performance to regain momentum and confidence.
In the last five meetings, the clubs have alternated victories, with Osasuna winning three and Oviedo two. The visitors should be expected to handle the newcomer even on the road. The bet recommendation is Osasuna to win with a (0) handicap.
Prediction for the match: Osasuna to win with 0.0 handicap.
