Real Madrid<\/b> host already-relegated Real Oviedo<\/b> at the iconic Santiago Bernab\u00e9u on Thursday, May 14, 2026 (kick-off approximately 9:30 PM local time \/ 1:00 AM IST). Los Blancos, currently sitting 2nd in La Liga, aim to secure their position and end the season strongly in front of their home fans after a trophyless campaign.<\/p>\nTeam News and Predicted Lineups<\/h3>\n
Real Madrid<\/b> have several injury concerns, including Rodrygo (cruciate ligament), Eder Militao, Federico Valverde, Ferland Mendy, and Arda Guler. Mbapp\u00e9 is expected to be available after returning to training.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Predicted Real Madrid XI (4-4-2 or similar)<\/b>:<\/p>\n Courtois; Alexander-Arnold, Asencio, R\u00fcdiger, Fran Garc\u00eda; D\u00edaz\/Brahim, Camavinga, Tchouam\u00e9ni, Bellingham; Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior, Gonzalo Garc\u00eda (or Mbapp\u00e9 if fit).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Real Oviedo<\/b>, already down and sitting at the bottom of the table with just 6 wins in 35+ games, will likely park the bus and look for counter-attacks. Key doubts include Dendoncker and Bailly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Predicted Oviedo XI (4-2-3-1)<\/b>: Escandell; Vidal, Costas, Calvo, Alhassane; Colombatto\/Fonseca, Reina; Chaira, Fernandez, etc.; Vinas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Real Madrid dominate the historical record, winning 54 of 84<\/b> meetings with Oviedo managing just 14 victories. Recent encounters heavily favor Madrid: a 3-0 away win in August 2025 and no Oviedo league wins over Madrid since 1998. Madrid are unbeaten in the last several H2Hs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Madrid have been solid at home despite recent disappointments like the Cl\u00e1sico loss. Oviedo struggle severely on the road with poor scoring (around 0.74 goals per game) and a leaky defense. Expect Madrid to control possession and create multiple chances at the Bernab\u00e9u.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Real Madrid 3-0<\/b> Real Oviedo. A comfortable home win is the most likely outcome as Madrid look to sign off their home season with a strong performance against a relegated side.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This fixture offers Real Madrid a chance to build momentum heading into the final matches of the 2025\/26 La Liga season. Fans can expect attacking football from the hosts against an Oviedo side fighting for pride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Real Madrid host already-relegated Real Oviedo at the iconic Santiago Bernab\u00e9u on Thursday, May 14, 2026 (kick-off approximately 9:30 PM\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":502,"featured_media":51973,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4651],"tags":[266,5496,4057],"class_list":["post-51972","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-la-liga","tag-real-madrid","tag-real-oviedo","tag-top-stories"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51972","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/502"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51972"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51972\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51974,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51972\/revisions\/51974"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51972"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51972"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Head-to-Head History<\/h3>\n
