The match of the 22nd round of La Liga between Real Oviedo vs Girona will take place on 31 January at Estadio Carlos Tartiere. Real Oviedo vs Girona: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Real Oviedo
Real Oviedo remain at the bottom of the Primera table. In the previous round the home side lost heavily away to Barcelona (0:3), and for the first time since October the club suffered back-to-back defeats in La Liga. The winless run in this competition has reached 14 matches (7 draws, 7 defeats). Across the current La Liga campaign Real Oviedo have managed just 2 wins from 21 matches. With these results the home side are drifting further from the safety of 17th place, and the gap has now grown to 9 points. The main problem remains a blunt attacking display: the home side have only 11 goals this season, the worst record in the league. At the same time, when it comes to goals conceded (34), only Girona have conceded more (35).
- The last five league matches at the home side’s stadium have ended in draws.
- At least one team failed to score in 6 of Real Oviedo’s previous 7 home league matches.
- The club has conceded in 5 of its last 6 La Liga matches.
Potential Real Oviedo Lineup (4-2-3-1)*
Aaron Escandell – Javi Lopez, David Costas, David Carmo, Lucas Ahijado – Santiago Colombatto, Kuasi Sibo – Hessem Hassan, Ilyas Chaira, Alberto Reina – Federico Vinas.
Participation of midfielder Ovi Edjaria and defender Rahim Alhassan is in doubt.
Girona
Girona fought back to earn a late draw at home with Getafe (1:1) on Monday. The visiting team ended a run of 3 consecutive La Liga wins, but have now gone four rounds without defeat — a run not seen since November–December 2024. Even after dropping points the visitors moved into the top half of the table and currently sit 10th in La Liga. However, Girona can hardly feel completely safe: their modest cushion over the relegation zone has shrunk to 4 points. By contrast, 7 points are needed to reach the European places.
- The Catalan side scored in 5 of their last 6 league matches.
- Five of the club’s previous seven away league matches were over the total.
- Both teams scored in 7 of Girona’s last 9 away La Liga matches.
Potential Girona Lineup (4-5-1)*
Marc-André ter Stegen – Hugo Rincon, Daley Blind, Vitor Reis, Alex Moreno – Fran Beltran, Ivan Martin, Brian Hill, Viktor Tsyhankov, Thomas Lemar – Vladyslav Vanat.
Midfielder Arnau Martínez has returned from suspension. Due to injury goalkeeper Juan Carlos Martin, midfielders Azzedine Ounahi and Donny van de Beek, and forward Portu are unavailable.

Real Oviedo vs Girona: Match Prediction
With each passing week Real Oviedo are moving closer to a return to the Segunda. There is still time to avoid relegation and the home side have shown some improvement in their play, but results remain bleak. In La Liga Real Oviedo have not won since September, and now for the first time in a long period they have lost two matches in a row. At home this season the home side have won only once, in an August meeting with Real Sociedad (1:0). Since that game their home record reads 3 draws, 5 defeats and just 2 goals scored.
Meanwhile Girona have picked up at least 1 point in each of the last 4 rounds of La Liga, with 3 wins in that sequence. The visiting team have risen into the top half of the table, but a couple of poor results could quickly push them back toward the drop zone. Therefore the club must maintain standards and avoid unnecessary slips, especially against opponents like the current Real Oviedo. We note that Girona have not lost in three consecutive away La Liga matches, despite an earlier eight-game winless run that cost them many points (3 draws, 5 defeats).
