Real Oviedo

vs

Real Betis

Preview

Real Oviedo (Home)

• Real Oviedo are 20th and have only 12 points from their first 18 games in LaLiga 2025-2026, but they have managed to stop the bleeding with draws in their last 2 matches and can still get back on track with a surprise result in Saturday’s home game against Real Betis.
• Oviedo will sit deep, defend in a compact block and look to counter-attack when possible.
• Real Oviedo are very unconvincing in attack, averaging just 0.22 goals per game scored and 1.11 conceded at home in LaLiga 2025/2026.

Real Betis (Away)

• Real Betis have 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat from their last 4 away games.
• The visitors are 6th in LaLiga 2025-2026 with 28 points from 18 games, meaning Betis have been consistently in the top half of the table since the start of the season.
• Manuel Pellegrini has had sole charge at the club since August 2020, a near 5-year period of continuity that has seen his side play a high-tempo, possession-based style of play in which the team presses forward in numbers and the full-backs and wingers press high up the field.
• In their 2 most recent games, Betis thumped Getafe 4-0 at home in LaLiga before edging Real Murcia 2-0 away from home to progress in the Copa del Rey.

Key Players

• Federico Vinas leads the club’s scoring charts with a paltry 2 goals in 15 games in 2025-2026.
• Juan Hernandez has scored 8 goals in 18 appearances in the current LaLiga campaign, hitting the net 3 times in the last 5 fixtures, and looks a good bet to score anytime for Betis against Oviedo.

Betting Insights

• Oviedo have a slightly better record than their overall home form suggests, with 1 win, 4 draws and 4 defeats in 9 games, which makes them the underdog with the bookies at 4.0 to Real Betis’ 1.9 favorites and a draw at 3.4.
• Betis’ average of 1.33 goals per away game scored and 1.44 goals conceded in 2025-2026 suggest they can win a low-scoring affair on Saturday.
• Under 2.5 goals looks a fair option at 1.7.
