Rooted to the foot of the table and sitting eight points adrift of safety, Real Oviedo know that anything less than a victory on Sunday could be the final nail in the coffin.
To pull off the great escape, the Asturians must find a way to spark a frontline that has produced a league-low 20 goals this season.
With only 20 goals, Real Oviedo are the lowest-scoring side in La Liga this season.
Coach Guillermo Almada will be without the services of Leander Dendoncker (muscle), David Carmo (muscle) and Luka Ilic (physical discomfort).
Moreover, Alberto Reina picked up a milestone yellow card in the heavy defeat to Levante just before the international break and is unavailable for selection.
There is good news for the hosts, as Ovie Ejaria and Lucas Ahijado have recovered from muscular problems, but neither player is expected to start.
Eric Bailly should be a notable starter at the back for the struggling hosts, while Federico Vinas, who has bagged six goals for Oviedo this season, is expected to lead the attack.
On the other hand, Sevilla's woes continued with a disappointing 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Valencia. They have now lost back-to-back games and are without a win in four consecutive matches.
Due to their abysmal run, the Andalusian side have hired former Villarreal and Alaves manager Luis Garcia as their new head coach.
Sevilla have some injury absentees for this trip. Peque Fernandez is definitely ruled out due to an ankle issue, with the midfielder needing a few more weeks on the sidelines.
Only one team has conceded more goals than Sevilla in the Spanish top flight this campaign.
Former Galatasaray defender Marcao is suffering from a broken foot, with the Brazilian scheduled to miss the remainder of the league campaign because of this problem, while Lucien Agoume is suspended for accumulated yellow cards.
Nigerian centre-forward Akor Adams is expected to be involved in a three-man attack for this game alongside Ruben Vargas and Juanlu Sanchez on either side of the wings.

Whispers Predicts: Real Oviedo 0-1 Sevilla
At 2.83 Sevilla are slightly favoured by the bookies ahead of this clash.
Despite their recent shortcomings, the visitors are up against the league's worst side, so we fancy their chances here.
Moreover, keeping in mind that fewer than three goals were scored in five of Sevilla's last seven games, coupled with Oviedo being the league's lowest-scoring side, under 2.5 total goals can be backed at 1.61.
Lastly, Sevilla to win-to-nil at 4.25 could be worth a punt.
> BTTS - No at 1.82 | Likelihood: Probable
> Under 2.5 goals at 1.61 | Likelihood: Probable
> Match result - Sevilla at 2.83 | Likelihood: Possible
> Sevilla & BTTS - No at 4.25 | Likelihood: Possible
> Correct score: 0-1 at 7.30 | Likelihood: Outsider
