Real Oviedo vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction and Betting Tips | November 23rd 2025

Real Oviedo will host Rayo Vallecano at the Carlos Tartiere on Sunday in another round of the 2025-26 La Liga campaign. The home side returned to La Liga this season after a 25-year absence and have found it difficult to adapt to the life in the division, sitting rock-bottom in the table with just eight points from 12 matches.

They suffered a 1-0 defeat away at Athletic Bilbao in their last match and were perhaps fortunate not to lose by an even larger margin after an overall flat performance on the road.

Rayo Vallecano, meanwhile, endured a sluggish start to their season but have found good form in recent games and are looking to replicate last season's exploits which saw them secure a spot in the UEFA Conference League. They headed into the international break on the back of a solid home performance which saw them hold league leaders Real Madrid to a goalless draw.

The visitors sit 12th in the table with 15 points from 12 matches and could climb into the top half of the pile with maximum points on Sunday.

Real Oviedo vs Rayo Vallecano Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• There have been 60 meetings between the two teams. Oviedo have won 25 of those games while Vallecano have won 19 times, with their other 16 contests ending in draws.
• The two teams last faced off in a La Liga 2 clash back in May 2021 which the visitors won 4-1 to snap a four-game winless streak in the fixture.
• Oviedo are the lowest-scoring side in the Spanish top flight this season with just seven goals scored in 12 games.
• All but one of Rayo's five league defeats this season have come on the road.

Real Oviedo vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction

Oviedistas are winless in their last six games across all competitions and have won just one of their last 10. They have lost three of their last four home matches and have work to do if they are to secure a positive result on Sunday.

Los Franjirrojos, on the other hand, are on a run of back-to-back unbeaten outings and have lost just once since the start of October. Despite mixed results on the road of late, they remain the stronger side ahead of the weekend clash and should win this one.
