Oviedo vs Alaves Match Preview: La Liga 2026
Match Context
Oviedo host Alaves at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere on 17 May 2026 in La Liga, Regular Season - 37. Oviedo sit 20th on 29 points with a goal difference of -30, deep in the relegation zone. Alaves arrive 16th on 40 points with a goal difference of -12, still needing points to be completely safe.
Oviedo Availability
Oviedo have several concerns.
- B. Domingues (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
- L. Dendoncker (Injury) is doubtful.
- O. Ejaria (Injury) is doubtful.
All three entries appear multiple times in the data but refer to the same trio of players, who significantly reduce Oviedo’s midfield and attacking rotation if they do not feature.
Alaves Availability
Alaves also face important absences.
- F. Garces (Suspended) is sidelined, removing a defensive option.
- L. Boye (Muscle Injury) is doubtful. As Alaves’ second-top scorer in La Liga with 11 goals and 1 assist, his status is a major blow if he fails to recover. Top scorer Toni Martínez, with 12 goals and 3 assists, is available.
Impact Summary
Alaves risk losing up to 11 league goals from Boye, while Oviedo’s losses are more about structure and depth than headline scoring numbers. With Toni Martínez fit, Alaves retain their primary attacking outlet, whereas Oviedo’s creativity and balance could be compromised if Dendoncker and Ejaria do not pass late fitness tests.
