Real Oviedo head into the weekend aiming to keep any hopes of La Liga survival alive heading into the final three games of the season, having endured a difficult first campaign back in Spain's top flight.
They find themselves rooted to the foot of the division, having earned just 28 points from their 34 outings, scoring a league-low tally of 26 goals in those matches, while only two sides have conceded more than the 54 they have allowed.
The Carbayones did give their hopes a major boost in April with a pair of wins over Sevilla and Celta Vigo and a creditable draw against Villarreal, but they have again suffered a pair of defeats heading into the weekend, firstly falling at home to Elche before Cucho Hernandez netted a brace alongside an Abde Ezzalzouli goal to condemn them to a 3-0 beating at Real Betis.
That leaves Guillermo Almada's side nine points adrift of safety with just four games remaining, while midfielder Leander Dendoncker remains unable to help his side as he is sidelined with an injury picked up in February.
Real Oviedo will now bid to make a much-needed return to winning ways on Saturday while hoping other results go their way to stand any chance of climbing towards safety in the final weeks of the term.
Their visitors arrive in need of a victory of their own, though, having seen their European hopes take a hit in recent weeks.
Following 13th and 12th-placed finishes in the last two years, the 2025-26 season has been a positive one for Getafe, who sit seventh in La Liga on 44 points from 34 games, in spite of a poor attacking record with only the hosts scoring fewer than their 28 league goals.
Instead, they have excelled at the back with only the top two conceding fewer than the 36 goals the Azulones have allowed, although they do head into the weekend on the back of a pair of harmful defeats.
After moving into pole position for a European spot with fivewins in a seven-game span, Jose Bordalas's side fell at home to Barcelona, before hosting Rayo Vallecano last weekend and again losing 2-0, making it nine of their last 10 games that have ended without both teams scoring and perhaps prompting Bordalas to shuffle his attacking ranks.
Now sitting in the final European spot with Athletic Bilbao only behind on goal difference, Getafe will be desperate to bounce back to winning ways on Sunday and strengthen their grip on a top-seven place at the Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere.

Whispers predicts: Real Oviedo 0-2 Getafe
With La Liga's two lowest scoring sides squaring off in a game of major importance for both, we struggle to envisage a high-scoring affair and tip Under 2.5 goals at 8/15.
Due to both their tight defensive record and struggles going forward, Getafe have only seen both teams score once in their last 10 league games. BTTS – No is priced at 7/10.
Getafe will look to get back to winning ways and strengthen their European claim against a Real Oviedo side who have lost their last two games and 18 of their La Liga games this season. We are tipping Getafe to win at 31/20.
> Under 2.5 goals at 8/15 | Likelihood: Likely
> Both Teams to Score – No at 7/10 | Likelihood: Likely
