Real Oviedo, meanwhile, arrive with their relegation already confirmed, becoming the first team officially demoted from La Liga this season. A goalless draw against Getafe, combined with Girona’s result on Monday, left them ten points from safety with only three games remaining. They are winless in four league matches and have managed just one away victory in their last 13 league trips. History also strongly favours Madrid in this fixture, as Los Blancos comfortably won the reverse meeting 3-0 earlier in the campaign. Oviedo’s last victory over Real Madrid dates all the way back to the 1998/99 season, and recent head-to-head statistics underline the gap between the sides, with Madrid averaging 2.3 goals per game across their last ten meetings compared to Oviedo’s 0.8.
