Oviedo vs Las Palmas Prediction & Betting Tips (2 November)

Real Oviedo host UD Las Palmas at the Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere on Monday, 2 November 2026 (15:15 UTC) in a LaLiga2 Round 12 clash that pits two relegated sides against each other in very different moods. Oviedo, back in the second tier after just one season in La Liga, sit 9th with 18 points from 11 matches (5 wins, 3 draws, 3 defeats) under new coach Julián Calero, while Las Palmas languish 14th on 14 points (4 wins, 2 draws, 5 defeats) and arrive in Asturias under caretaker Juan Manuel Rodríguez following the sacking of Rubén de la Barrera on 12 October. The European odds reflect that gap: Oviedo are priced around 1.80 to win, the draw is near 3.86, and a Las Palmas away victory is as high as 4.64.

The home side's momentum has been built on a solid defensive base and the form of goalkeeper Aarón Escandell, who boasts a 0.80 goals-against average and sits third in the Zamora Trophy race, with centre-back Carlos Domínguez leading the scoring charts with four goals. Oviedo's recent results underline their resilience: they ground out an away win at Ceuta (1-2) on 18 October, followed it with a commanding home triumph over high-flying Eibar (3-1) on 12 October, and have lost only once in their last five league games. Calero, appointed on 11 June 2026 to replace Guillermo Almada, has Oviedo dreaming of an immediate return to the top flight, with David Costas captaining a squad that also features Mikel Goti as the team's main creative force.

Las Palmas, by contrast, travel north with a lengthy injury list that includes Giovanni Bonfanti, Iñaki González, Sandro Ramírez, Sergio Ruiz, Jeremía Recoba, Enrique Clemente, Viti, Ale García and Marvin Park, leaving the caretaker boss with limited options around captain Kirian Rodríguez, August Player of the Month Taisei Miyashiro and summer signing Jesé. Their away form is a genuine concern: they were beaten at Eibar (3-2) on 27 September and have kept just one clean sheet on their travels all season, conceding 19 goals overall. Their last home outing before the international break ended in a frustrating draw with Valladolid (2-2) on 4 October, a result that extended their winless league run and ultimately cost de la Barrera his job.

Historically this fixture favours the Asturians: Oviedo have won 3 of the last 10 meetings with Las Palmas, who have won 2, and the remaining 5 ended in draws — including Oviedo's unbeaten home record against the Canary Islanders in recent seasons. With Las Palmas missing so many key players and Oviedo strong at the back and dangerous from set pieces through Domínguez, the conditions are perfect for a home statement win. Our prediction: Real Oviedo 3-0 UD Las Pal
