Bottom of La Liga, Real Oviedo will have the daunting task of taking something from one of the league’s best hosts, as well as consistent top 4 contenders, Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid Team News
A goal deep in stoppage time ensured that Atletico picked up the 3 points against Inter during the midweek UCL action. This win extended Atleti’s winning streak to 6 in a row across all competitions. Indeed, Diego Simeone’s men seem to have found consistent form. They remain especially prolific at home, where Atletico has won all but 1 game this season. Three of their last 5 La Liga victories at home came with at least a 2 goal margin. Moreover, Simeone’s men have been solid defensively and have managed to keep a clean sheet in 4 of their last 5 league matches.
Real Oviedo Team News
Real Oviedo are bottom of La Liga for a reason, as the team has failed to pick up a win since September. What followed the away victory against Valencia was 3 defeats and 3 draws for Oviedo. However, there are some positives from the team’s recent results. For starters, Real Oviedo has lost just 1 of its last 4 league matches. The team has also managed to keep 2 clean sheets in the process, which would hint that there is something to work with. But grinding out draws will be far from enough for Oviedo to keep their place in Spain’s top flight, as netting wins remains a problematic area for them.
Head-to-Head-Games
Atletico and Oviedo last met in 2023 in a Copa del Rey fixture, which was won by the former 0-2. Prior official meetings between the two stretch back to the early 00’s in La Liga 2.

Atletico Madrid vs Real Oviedo Betting Prediction
My pick here is for an Atletico Madrid -1.5 AH. Despite some stability shown by Oviedo, they will be up against a solid Atletico side that has found good form and defensive stability. Moreover, they will be hosts, which is by far where Diego Simeone’s men show their best side. This is why I am leaning towards a win for Atletico with at least a 2-goal margin, and I do not expect the midweek UCL battle to have taken such a big toll on the team to keep them from performing up to their usual standard.
