Cadiz - Real Oviedo

Forward Alvaro Pascual remains a central figure for Cadiz as they prepare to host Real Oviedo on 7 November 2026. Despite a recent 2-1 defeat against Mallorca, the home side has shown flashes of clinical form, notably in their 3-1 Copa del Rey victory over Xerez and a dominant 4-0 win against Leganes earlier in October. Managerial plans for this matchday 13 clash at JP Financial Estadio are complicated by the confirmed absences of Alejandro Orellana and Vladyslav Kopotun, forcing the expected XI to rely on the defensive stability of Sergio Arribas and Bojan Kovacevic to anchor the backline.

Real Oviedo arrive looking to tighten their defensive structure after a high-scoring 3-2 loss to Las Palmas and a 3-3 draw with Numancia. While their recent league form has been inconsistent, they have proven capable of finding the net, evidenced by a 2-1 win over AD Ceuta FC. With Mikel Goti expected to drive the midfield, the visitors will aim to disrupt the rhythm of a Cadiz side that has struggled for consistency throughout the campaign. This encounter marks the latest chapter in a competitive history between the two clubs, with Cadiz aiming to replicate their 2-0 success from October 2024.
