Real Oviedo drew nil-nil with Osasuna B in a preseason friendly, according to live data published by Sofascore. The match served as a final test before the official start of the competition.
The blue team made several changes throughout the game to evaluate the squad. The manager used the friendly to fine-tune the final tactical and physical details. This result comes with the club placed 15th in the Segunda División, with 5 points after four matchdays and a record of one win, two draws, and one loss.
How is Oviedo shaping up for the season?
The Oviedo side begins the league campaign with a record of one goal scored and one conceded, maintaining a neutral goal difference. This initial defensive solidity will be a pillar, although the team is five points behind the leader, Castellón. The current squad, which you can check on our squad page, seeks greater attacking effectiveness to climb the table.
The preseason has been marked by the search for a solid style of play. The friendlies have allowed the team to work on the concepts the coaching staff wants to implement. The draw against Osasuna B reflects a team under construction, prioritizing organization over the result in these matches.
Which absences affect the team?
For the start of the league, Real Oviedo has to deal with several important absences in the injuries department. Forward Chris Ramos, midfielder Ilyas Chaira, and attacker Carlos Fernández are currently sidelined. Their recovery will be key to having all options available in the offensive zone.
These absences limit the manager's alternatives up front. The offensive burden falls temporarily on other players in the squad. The medical team is working to reintegrate them as soon as possible, but their absence will be felt in the initial rotations.
What is the next challenge?
The official schedule offers no respite. Real Oviedo's next fixture is an away trip to Valladolid on September 13th. The opponent, who occupies 16th place, will be a direct rival in the lower-middle section of the standings.
This match represents an immediate opportunity to pick up points away from home. The team will travel with the intention of improving their results streak, which is currently draw, win, loss, draw (DWLD). All information about upcoming matches is available on our fixtures page.
The game at the José Zorrilla stadium is scheduled for Sunday, September 13th, 2026.
