Real Madrid CF vs Real Oviedo Prediction 14 May 2026

A painful 0-2 defeat to Barcelona in El Clásico effectively ended Real Madrid’s title hopes, while even before that the Royal Club looked far from convincing. Carlo Ancelotti’s side dropped points against Girona (1-1) and Betis (1-1), while narrow wins over Alavés (2-1) and Espanyol (2-0) did little to silence criticism. Despite the inconsistent performances, Real still sits second in the table with 77 points and a solid 70-33 goal difference.

Real Oviedo, meanwhile, have endured a miserable campaign. The Asturians are bottom of the league with only 29 points and a 26-54 goal difference, and their relegation to the Segunda División has already been confirmed. Their recent form has been equally disappointing, though they did manage a surprising 3-0 victory over Celta and a 1-1 draw with Villarreal. Still, defeats to Elche (1-2) and Betis (0-3) highlighted the massive gap in quality between Oviedo and the stronger La Liga sides.

Real Madrid may currently be surrounded by criticism, tension, and disappointing performances, but facing the weakest team in the division at home is the perfect opportunity to respond. Even without dazzling football, Los Blancos should have far too much quality, depth, and attacking power for an already relegated opponent with little left to fight for.

I expect Real Madrid to control the match from the opening minutes and secure a comfortable victory by at least two goals.
