Getafe vs Real Oviedo | Football Previews & Free Betting Tips | 13th September 2025
La Liga’s Saturday card brings a tidy clash in the capital as Getafe welcome Real Oviedo (13 September 2025). It’s an early-season tone-setter: Getafe have already mixed a couple of sharp wins with a bump in the road, while newly-promoted Oviedo are bedding into the top flight and leaning on defensive structure. Expect a lively atmosphere in the south of Madrid, the home crowd right on top of the pitch and a noisy Asturian following making themselves heard.
On the grass, Getafe 4-4-2/4-2-3-1 looks the likeliest, compact without the ball and direct to the front. Oviedo 4-4-2/4-3-3 have been well-drilled, happy to sit in two tight lines and counter through the wide areas. Styles contrast nicely: Getafe’s verticality and set-piece threat versus Oviedo’s patience and tidy shape.
- Unavailable/Injured: David Soria (nose), Kiko Femenía (back), Luis Milla (muscle), Juanmi (knee).
- Suspended/Other: Álex Sancris (suspension).
- Likely roles: With Soria a doubt, the gloves may pass to Jiri Letáček. At the back, Djené and Domingos Duarte keep things rugged, with Diego Rico for delivery. In midfield Mauro Arambarri and Mario Martín screen and spring transitions, while Borja Mayoral leads the line looking to profit from early balls and second phases.
- Unavailable/Injured: Lucas Ahijado (muscle), Álvaro Lemos (knee), Borja Bastón (calf).
- Doubtful/Other: None confirmed at the time of writing.
- Likely roles: Quentin Braat (or Aitor Fernández) marshals a defence built around Dani Calvo and Oier Luengo. Santiago Colombatto and Jaime Seoane tidy up and feed the flanks, with Alexandre Alemão the out-ball to attack space.
Getafe (last 10 competitive): 6–2–2 from the extended sample provided (three this season plus seven from the run-in). Goals for ~14, against ~11. They’ve started briskly this term (two wins from three) but can swing from measured control to chaotic in-game spells. Set-pieces remain a rich seam.
Real Oviedo (last 10 competitive): 5–3–2 across the blended sample (three this season plus seven from the end of last term). Goals for ~11, against ~7. La Liga life has begun with a lean, disciplined look and two clean sheets in three, though chance creation is still finding its feet.
Trends: Getafe’s first three league matches averaged 2.67 total goals with a 50/50 split across halves. Oviedo’s opening two league matches were both tight, their games skewing Under while they feel their way in the division.

Average goals conceded
- Borja Mayoral (Getafe): The penalty-box reference. Give him a square pass or a near-post dart and he will work the keeper. Also draws fouls that fuel Getafe’s set-piece bite.
- Diego Rico (Getafe): Delivery is his currency. Expect outswingers and clever restarts aimed at the penalty spot and second-ball zones.
- Santiago Colombatto (Real Oviedo): The balance in midfield—winning first contact, keeping Oviedo’s block stitched together and feeding breaks down the sides.
- Alexandre Alemão (Real Oviedo): Pace into the channels and the bravery to carry the ball up the pitch—vital if Oviedo are penned in.
Getafe 1–0 Real Oviedo. The hosts have a little more punch in the final third and carry more from dead balls. Oviedo’s shape should keep this nip-and-tuck, but home advantage and the set-piece edge tip it.
Main pick: Home win. Getafe are generally reliable at the Coliseum and create enough pressure from restarts to eke out a narrow result.
Value angle: Under 2.5 total goals. Oviedo’s early La Liga outings have been low-event and their defensive record respectable; this points towards a cagey scoreline.
