Real Madrid surrendered the La Liga title to arch-rivals Barcelona after their 2-0 defeat in El Clasico last weekend. They are currently going through a rough patch, having won only two of their last eight matches across all competitions.
With three matches remaining, Alvaro Arbeloa's men have nothing left to play for, and they will secure a top-two finish by claiming at least one point in this encounter.
Federico Valverde is ruled out as a result of the head injury he suffered during his fight with Aurelien Tchouameni last week, but Dean Huijsen could return for this game after making giant strides toward gaining fitness from an injury.
Rodrygo Goes (ACL), Arda Guler (thigh), Eder Militao (thigh), Dani Carvajal (foot), and Ferland Mendy (ligament) are also sidelined for Los Blancos.
On the other hand, Real Oviedo’s relegation was confirmed after their goalless stalemate with Getafe last weekend. They have had a disappointing campaign, winning only six of 35 league outings.
Moreover, the visitors have been the league's lowest-scoring side with only 26 goals scored throughout the campaign. They are on a four-game winless run ahead of this trip.
Oviedo were reduced to nine men in the second half of their dour draw against Getafe as Javi Lopez and Kwasi Sibo both received straight red cards. As a result, both players are suspended for this skirmish.
Eric Bailly, with a broken nose, and Leander Dendoncker, with muscular problems, are both unavailable for selection.

Whispers Predicts: Real Madrid 2-0 Real Oviedo
At 1.32, Real Madrid are considered favourites by the bookmakers. Los Blancos cruised to a comfortable 3-0 victory in the reverse fixture and have not lost to Oviedo since December 1998.
Keeping in mind that Oviedo have scored fewer goals than any other team in La Liga this season, we fancy Real Madrid to win-to-nil at 2.25.
We have also noted that Real Madrid’s last seven games have all gone above the 10.5-corner threshold.
On that note, over 10.5 total corners can be backed at 1.87.
> Under 2.5 total goals at 2.80 | Likelihood: Possible
> BTTS – No at 1.97 | Likelihood: Probable
> HT result: Real Madrid at 1.68 | Likelihood: Probable
> Real Madrid & BTTS – No at 2.25 | Likelihood: Probable
> Correct Score: 2-0 at 7.30 | Likelihood: Outsider
