Oviedo vs Elche Match Preview: La Liga Clash

The La Liga clash at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere in Oviedo kicks off on 26 April 2026 at 14:15 UTC. Oviedo enter round 32 bottom of the table in 20th place with 28 points and a goal difference of -24. Elche arrive in 16th position on 35 points, with a goal difference of -7 and still looking over their shoulder in the battle to avoid the drop.

Oviedo Availability

Oviedo have one fitness concern. L. Dendoncker (Injury) is doubtful. The Belgian midfielder’s absence would remove an experienced option from the centre of the pitch, but key attacking threat F. Viñas (9 league goals, 1 assist) is available to lead the line.

Elche Availability

Elche have one confirmed absentee. A. Boayar (Muscle Injury) is sidelined and will not feature in Oviedo. Even so, their main goal source André Silva (9 league goals) and creative midfielder Martim Neto (5 assists, 2 goals) are both available to start.

Impact Summary

Both sides retain their primary attacking weapons, so the bulk of their offensive output remains intact. Oviedo would feel Dendoncker’s loss mainly in build-up stability rather than pure goal threat, while Elche’s forward line should stay largely unaffected despite Boayar being sidelined.
