Osasuna vs Oviedo Prediction & Betting Tips (17 January)

Osasuna aims to do better than maintain this season. The top 10 very clearly drives the ambitions of the leaders. However, following the arrival of Alessio Lisci on the Basque bench, the mayonnaise took time to take hold and at mid-season, Osasuna only occupied 15th place and the Pamplona-based club remained on a 1-0 defeat against Girona on the previous day. This week, during the knockout stages of the Copa del Rey, the Rojllos were knocked out by Real Sociedad TAB. Still no victory in 2026 for Osasuna who had been forced to share the points at the beginning of January with Athletic Bilbao in the championship 1-1. Real Oviedo could return to the sender at the end of the season.

Red lantern of La Liga 5 lengths from Mallorca who played earlier in the day, the promoted must very quickly start to achieve success. As a reminder, after 19 days, the Carbayones have only won 2 small matches for a total of 10 defeats 7 draws. The last success dates back to September 30, against Valencia at Mestalla. Since then, it has been a record of 12 La Liga matches without a victory. The visiting players still manage to limit the damage since they recorded 3 draws in their last 3 games, against Bétis last weekend 1-1, on the Alaves turf at the start of 2026 1-1 and against Celta Vigo before the Christmas break 0-0. 

Used in the middle or even on the right side when it is necessary to help out, the precious Moncayola will miss this meeting due to a suspension for accumulation of yellow cards. Now eliminated from the African Cup of Nations with Cameroon, Boyomo could be in the game today since he started in the King's Cup during the week. On the other hand, Iker Benito, seriously injured, will miss this game and many others to come. From the first hours of the transfer window, Javi Galan signed from Atlético Madrid. Victor Munoz (ex-Real Madrid, 2 goals in La Liga), Ruben Garcia (2 goals, 4 assists in La Liga) without forgetting the Croatian Ante Budimir (6 goals in La Liga) will be lined up from the start for this match. If the excellent Vinas (2 goals in La Liga) will return from suspension, Carmo will sit on the suspended bench today.

Still on the flank, defenders Eric Bailly (ex-OM), Vidal (ex-Osasuna) and Lemos (ex-Las Palmas) will remain with the medical staff. Same for Ejaria. Left for Pachuca following an unsuccessful loan, Rondon (2 goals in La Liga) is no longer part of the squad. French winger Hassan will probably be in the group.
