Oviedo vs Alaves Match Preview: La Liga Showdown

Match Context

Oviedo host Alaves at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere on 17 May 2026 in La Liga, Regular Season - 37. Oviedo sit 20th on 29 points with a goal difference of -30, while Alaves are 16th on 40 points and -12, both having played 36 matches.

Oviedo Availability

Oviedo have several midfield concerns. B. Domingues (Knee Injury) is sidelined and will not feature. L. Dendoncker (Injury) is doubtful, as is O. Ejaria (Injury), leaving key rotation options in the middle of the pitch uncertain. There are no listed suspensions for Oviedo, but the cluster of injuries and doubts in midfield and attack could limit tactical flexibility.

Alaves Availability

Alaves travel with one confirmed suspension and a major attacking doubt. F. Garces (Suspended) is sidelined, weakening their defensive options on the right. L. Boye (Muscle Injury) is doubtful; as the team’s second-top scorer with 11 league goals, his potential absence would be a major blow to their forward line.

Impact Summary

Alaves’ leading scorer Toni Martínez (12 league goals) is available, preserving most of their attacking output even if L. Boye remains doubtful. Oviedo’s absentees are more about depth and balance than headline goal contributions, but the loss of B. Domingues and doubts over L. Dendoncker and O. Ejaria could significantly disrupt their build-up play and defensive cover in midfield.
