Real Oviedo vs Rayo Vallecano prediction, odds & betting tips – 23/11/2025

Real Oviedo and Rayo Vallecano return to action in the Spanish La Liga when they go head to head at the Estadio Carlos Tartiere on Sunday. While the home side will be out to begin their surge from the relegation zone, Los Franjirrojos will be looking to move into the top half of the table.

FootballWhispers’ Real Oviedo vs Rayo Vallecano prediction takes a look at the chances of both sides securing all three points this weekend.

Real Oviedo vs Rayo Vallecano prediction: Los Franjirrojos to heap more misery on out-of-sorts hosts

Key stats

• Real Oviedo and Rayo Vallecano have both found the back of the net in five of their last six games, with a combined 19 goals scored across the six matches.
• There have been at least three goals scored in five of Rayo Vallecano’s last seven matches across all competitions since October 19.
• The most recent seven meetings between Real Oviedo and Rayo Vallecano since March 2017 have seen fewer than 11 corner kicks, while there have been at least five bookings in six of the seven games.

Correct score prediction: Real Oviedo 1-3 Rayo Vallecano

It has been a difficult return to the top flight for Real Oviedo, who find themselves rooted to the bottom of the table, and they are in for a tough 90 minutes against a Vallecano side who are unbeaten in eight of their last nine games.

Los Franjirrojos head into the weekend as the more in-form side and we are backing them to come away with a comfortable victory and end their run of four consecutive La Liga defeats against the hosts.

Real Oviedo preview: Yet to find their feet in the big leagues

Twelve games into their return to the top flight, Real Oviedo are one of the early contenders to go down this season as they find themselves rock-bottom in the league table.

Luis Miguel Carrion’s men have managed just two wins so far while losing eight and claiming two draws to collect eight points, three points behind 17th-placed Osasuna just above the relegation zone.

Central to Los Azules’ struggles has been their lack of firepower in front of goal, where they have netted the fewest number of goals in the league this season (7), while also allowing 20 at the opposite end of the pitch.

This was highlighted just before the international break on November 9, when Real Oviedo fell to a 1-0 loss against Athletic Club, a result which extended their winless run to six games across all competitions since beating Valencia 2-1 in September.

Predicted lineup: Escandell (GK), Vidal, Costas, Carmo, Lopez, Colombatto, Dendoncker, Vinas, Reina, Chaira & Rondon

Last five games

• Athletic Club 1-0 Real Oviedo
• Real Oviedo 0-0 Osasuna
• Ourense 4-2 Real Oviedo
• Girona 3-3 Real Oviedo
• Real Oviedo 0-2 Espanyol

Rayo Vallecano preview: Aiming to maintain new-found form

Rayo Vallecano turned in a resilient team display just before the international break when they held on for a goalless draw against a star-studded Real Madrid side at the Estadio de Vallecas.

This came just three days after Inigo Perez’s men secured a 3-2 victory over Lech Poznan in the UEFA Conference League, where they have picked up two wins and one draw from their three games to sit sixth in the standings.

While Rayo Vallecano are unbeaten in eight of their last nine matches across all competitions, they have picked up three wins and one draw from their most recent five La Liga matches, having failed to win the six games preceding this run (2D 4L).

This upturn in form has seen Vallecano rise into 12th place in the La Liga table, level on 15 points with Elche and Alaves, but they could move into sixth place with a win at the Estadio Carlos Tartiere this weekend.

Predicted lineup: Batalla (GK), Ratiu, Lejeune, Mendy, Chavarria, Lopez, Ciss, Gumbau, De Frutos, Garcia & Palazon

Last five games

• Rayo Vallecano 0-0 Real Madrid
• Rayo Vallecano 3-0 Lech Poznan
• Villarreal 4-0 Rayo Vallecano
• Yuncos 1-6 Rayo Vallecano
• Rayo Vallecano 1-0 Alaves

Player to watch — Jorge de Frutos

While Jorge de Frutos endured a quiet outing against Real Madrid last time, the Spanish midfielder has been instrumental in Rayo Vallecano’s upturn in form and will be one to look out for this weekend.

The 28-year-old, who has started 11 of Vallecano’s 12 La Liga games, has been involved in five of Los Franjirrojos' 12 league goals so far, netting four and providing one assist.

De Frutos should retain his role in the Rayo Vallecano XI this weekend, forming the front three with 33-year-old Alvaro Garcia and club captain Isi Palazon.
