Girona will look to extend their strong run of form in La Liga when they travel to Estadio Carlos Tartiere on Saturday to face Real Oviedo.
The visitors sit 10th in the La Liga table, with 25 points from 21 matches, enjoying a solid first half of the season. In contrast, Real Oviedo are anchored at the bottom of the table, facing a difficult battle to avoid relegation in their return to Spain’s top flight.
Oviedo’s season has been plagued by inconsistency and a lack of goals, scoring only 11 times in 21 matches. They have also struggled at home, earning just eight points from 10 matches, with only three goals to their name at Estadio Carlos Tartiere. The club is on its third manager of the season, with Guillermo Almada taking charge in December, hoping to stabilize a side in need of points.
Historically, the two teams have met 17 times, with both sides winning five matches each and seven ending in draws. Their most recent La Liga encounter in October 2025 ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw, while their last meeting at Oviedo’s home ground in September 2021 saw the points shared in a 0-0 Segunda Division stalemate.
Girona, under Michel, enter this clash in impressive form, having won four of their last six league matches. The White and Reds have claimed 10 points from their last four games, defeating Mallorca, Osasuna, and Espanyol, before sharing points with Getafe in their most recent outing. Their strong performance has propelled them to 10th in the table, seven points off the top six and four points clear of the relegation zone.
For Oviedo, the challenge is clear: improve their attacking output and home form if they hope to climb out of the bottom three. Girona, meanwhile, will aim to continue their upward momentum and solidify a mid-table position, making Saturday’s clash a critical fixture for both teams.
