Oviedo Availability
Oviedo face several midfield and attacking concerns.
- B. Domingues (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
- L. Dendoncker (Injury) is doubtful.
- O. Ejaria (Injury) is doubtful.
These absences and doubts affect Oviedo’s central structure and creativity, although no Oviedo player features among the league’s leading scorers in the provided data.
Alaves Availability
Alaves must cope without a key defender and have a major question mark over a leading forward.
- F. Garces (Suspended) is sidelined, removing a defensive option on the right side.
- L. Boye (Muscle Injury) is doubtful. As Alaves’ second-top scorer in the data with 11 goals and 1 assist, his status is a potential major blow to their attacking threat. Top scorer Toni Martínez, with 12 goals and 3 assists, is available.
Impact Summary
Alaves risk losing up to 11 league goals if L. Boye does not feature, significantly reducing support for Toni Martínez. Oviedo’s issues are more about depth and balance than the loss of headline attacking output.
