Almería host Real Oviedo on October 24, 2026, in a La Liga 2 meeting between two sides enjoying strong spells. Kick-off is scheduled for 19:00 local time at Anexo Estadio de los Juegos del Mediterráneo. Almería lead the table after seven consecutive league victories and have won all five of their home matches this season. Ninth-placed Real Oviedo arrive with three wins from their last four league games, including a victory on their most recent trip. The hosts’ home record gives them an advantage, but Oviedo’s improved results make this a more demanding fixture than the league positions alone might suggest.

Almería’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Almería recovered quickly from two defeats in their first three league fixtures. They have won every match since, building a record of eight wins and two losses from ten games under García Pimienta. Across those ten matches, they have scored 20 goals and conceded seven. Their last five results have all been victories, with averages of 2.4 goals scored and just 0.6 conceded per game.

The latest success was a 4-2 away win over Real Sociedad II on October 17. Before that, Almería beat Burgos 2-1 and Leganés 3-0, extending a run that began with a 3-2 victory against Cádiz. Their home form has been particularly effective: five league matches this season have brought five wins. The longer-term figures point to lively games at home, too, with over 2.5 total goals in 18 of their last 20 home La Liga 2 fixtures. Almería have scored at least once in each of those 20 matches.

Miguel de la Fuente leads Almería’s scoring with six goals and has also supplied an assist. Five of those goals came across the four matches in which he scored most recently. Brian Cipenga has contributed three goals and four assists in nine appearances, including a goal contribution in each of his last three games. Javi Muñoz has two goals and three assists, giving Almería several players who have contributed to their attacking return.

Real Oviedo’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Real Oviedo have become more consistent after an uneven start. Julián Calero’s side have won three of their last four league matches and hold a season record of five wins, two draws and three defeats. They beat Sporting 2-0 and Eibar 3-1 before winning 2-1 away at Ceuta on October 18. Across their last five fixtures, Oviedo have recorded three wins and two losses, averaging 1.8 goals both scored and conceded.

Oviedo have won three of their five away league matches, so travelling has not prevented them from collecting points. There are concerns about their defending on the road, however: eight of the ten goals they have conceded this season have come away from home. Two of their last three away games before the Ceuta win ended in defeats, 3-1 against Sabadell and 4-1 against Eldense. Protecting their goal will be especially important against an Almería side that has scored in each of its last 20 home league matches.

Carlos Domínguez has made an unusual scoring contribution from defence, with four goals in total and three across the Eibar and Ceuta games. Pablo Saénz has scored twice, while 17-year-old Enzo Pérez has one goal and two assists in his first professional season. Those contributions have helped Oviedo turn their recent improvement into wins, although this trip presents a test of their ability to keep Almería’s attack in check.

Almería vs Real Oviedo Match Analysis

The central question in this Almería vs Real Oviedo preview is whether the visitors can interrupt the league leaders’ winning run. Almería’s seven straight victories, five wins from five at home this season and recent defensive record all strengthen their case. Oviedo have momentum of their own and have won more than half of their away league games, but conceding eight goals across five trips leaves them facing a clear challenge.

Recent meetings offer a counterpoint to the current form. From Almería’s perspective, the last five head-to-head matches have brought two draws and three defeats, and the most recent encounter ended 1-1 on June 11, 2025. Oviedo therefore have a record of making this fixture difficult for the hosts. Even so, Almería’s results this season suggest they are well placed to test that record, particularly if their leading contributors maintain their recent output.

Goals are another theme to watch: 18 of Almería’s last 20 home league games have featured at least three in total, while Oviedo’s last five matches have produced averages of 1.8 scored and 1.8 conceded. Those figures leave room for chances at both ends, but the stronger case for the outcome rests on Almería’s perfect home start and seven-match winning streak. Oviedo’s recent wins make them credible opposition; the hosts’ sustained form gives them the edge.
