Real Oviedo vs Deportivo Alavés: Predictions, Betting Odds, Lineups, Preview

League	Date	Match	Score	Venue
La Liga	04 Jan 2026	Deportivo Alavés vs Real Oviedo	1 – 1	Estadio de Mendizorroza

Real Oviedo come into this with a recent run that has been mixed, but the 0-0 draw with Getafe and the home draw with Villarreal suggest they can keep games tight at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere. With no reported injuries and a familiar 4-4-2 shape, they look set up to stay organised and make the most of limited chances.

Deportivo Alavés have been involved in higher-scoring matches recently, including a 3-3 draw with Real Sociedad and a 2-4 loss to Athletic Club, so their games have tended to open up more. The suspension of Facundo Garcés is a small defensive factor to note, and away from home they may find it harder to control the tempo. Match Prediction: Real Oviedo 1-0 Deportivo Alavés

Form Guide & Team Overview

Real Oviedo

Real Oviedo’s recent league form has been steady rather than convincing, with two draws, two defeats and one win across their last five. The clean sheet against Getafe and the 1-1 draw with Villarreal show they can stay competitive, but the 0-3 loss to Real Betis and the 1-2 home defeat to Elche underline that results have been inconsistent.

Their best result in this run was the 3-0 win away at Celta de Vigo, which stands out as the clearest sign of what they can do when things click. Overall, the pattern points to a side that can be difficult to break down, but not always reliable in front of goal.

Deportivo Alavés

Deportivo Alavés have also been uneven in their recent league matches, with two draws, one win and two defeats in their last five. The 3-3 draw at Real Sociedad and the 1-1 draw at Elche show they have been able to score away from home, but the 2-4 home loss to Athletic Club suggests defensive issues have been present too.

Their 2-1 home win over Mallorca is the main positive in the sequence, while the 1-2 defeat at Real Madrid was a narrower loss against stronger opposition. On the evidence provided, they look capable of creating chances, but their results have not been especially stable.

Lineups & Tactical Setup

Real Oviedo (4-4-2)

Predicted lineup: Aarón Escandell (Goalkeeper), Dani Calvo (Defender), Eric Bailly (Defender), Javi López (Defender), Nacho Vidal (Defender), Alberto Reina (Midfielder), Haissem Hassan (Midfielder), Kwasi Sibo (Midfielder), Thiago Fernández (Midfielder), Federico Viñas (Attacker), Ilyas Chaira (Attacker)

Real Oviedo’s predicted 4-4-2 should give them a compact midfield line and two forwards to work off direct service and second balls. That shape also gives them a clear platform to stay balanced at home and protect against transitions.

Deportivo Alavés (5-3-2)

Predicted lineup: Antonio Sivera (Goalkeeper), Jonny Otto (Defender), Nahuel Tenaglia (Defender), Victor Parada (Defender), Youssef Enríquez (Defender), Ángel Pérez (Defender), Antonio Blanco (Midfielder), Denis Suárez (Midfielder), Pablo Ibáñez (Midfielder), Ibrahim Diabaté (Attacker), Toni Martínez (Attacker)

Deportivo Alavés’ predicted 5-3-2 should provide extra cover in wide areas and help them stay compact without the ball. It also leaves them with two attackers to threaten on the break if they can get support from midfield quickly.
