Match Preview: Real Oviedo vs. Real Betis Balompié

Real Oviedo will take on Real Betis Balompié today, Saturday, January 10, 2026, at 14:00 hours at the Carlos Tartiere Stadium. This match is part of the 19th round of LaLiga EA Sports, marking the conclusion of the first half of the season. Both teams approach this fixture with contrasting expectations in the standings.

Under the guidance of Uruguayan coach Guillermo Almada, Oviedo currently finds itself at the bottom of the table, holding just 12 points—six points adrift of safety in La Primera División. Their recent 1-1 draw at Mendizorroza provided a bittersweet moment for the team, which had initially taken the lead. This result marks their fourth point from the last six matches, which, while insufficient to escape the relegation zone, has prevented a complete loss of ground.

Conversely, Manuel Pellegrini’s side concluded 2025 with a promising run in La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Europa League. However, they began the new year with a heavy defeat, losing 5-2 to Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu. As they prepare to visit Carlos Tartiere, they will still be without three key players: Amrabat, Isco, and Abde. Nevertheless, Betis aims to secure three points to surpass the 30-point mark in the first half of the league season, a total that would position them favorably for a sixth consecutive season of continental competition.

The match between Oviedo and Betis will be broadcast live on Movistar LaLiga TV, accessible via Movistar+ and Orange. Fans can also follow live commentary through Radio MARCA or via MARCA.com, which will provide pre-match analysis two hours before kickoff, as well as post-match reports including match summaries, goal videos, press conferences, and player statements.

As it stands, Oviedo arrives at this match after their draw against Alavés, while Betis comes off a challenging loss to Real Madrid. Currently, Oviedo occupies the 20th position in the standings with 12 points, whereas Betis holds 6th place with 28 points.
