Real Oviedo has gone 11 games without a win and is experiencing the worst run in its history in the first division
The draw against Alaves confirmed the club's worst run in the top flight and leaves the Grupo Pachuca team at the bottom of the table in their centenary year
Real Oviedo is going through one of the most delicate moments in its history in the First Division. Following this weekend's 1-1 draw at Mendizorroza against Deportivo Alaves, Oviedo has now gone eleven consecutive matches without a win, marking the club's worst-ever run in the top flight of Spanish football. A negative record in the centenary year. The club, which celebrates its centenary in 2026 and is playing its 39th season in La Liga, set a new negative record with the draw in Vitoria. With this result, Oviedo surpasses the ten-game winless streak they had previously endured in the 1963/64 and 1998/99 seasons, their worst runs in the top flight to date. In this worrying run of results, the balance is clear: six draws and five defeats, numbers that reflect the team's lack of decisiveness and structural problems. A goal that ends the drought, but not the crisis. Despite the poor form, the match against Alaves brought some positive news for the team managed by Uruguayan Guillermo Almada. Real Oviedo finally broke their goal drought thanks to Fede Vinas's strike, the team's first after more than two months and seven consecutive matches without finding the net. The goal momentarily restored hope to the Blues, who even had enough chances to have taken all three points from Mendizorroza. However, the draw wasn't enough, and the situation worsened after Fede Vinas was sent off, the striker's third red card of the season. Furthermore, Levante's victory at the Sanchez-Pizjuan condemned Oviedo to drop to the bottom of the table. With 12 points, Real Oviedo are now six points from safety, a worrying gap as the first half of the season approaches.
A demanding end to the first half of the season
The Oviedo team will close out the first half of the league championship next Saturday at the Carlos Tartiere stadium (2:00 PM), where they will host Real Betis, a team currently in sixth place with 16 more points than Oviedo.
A very difficult match that will test the ability of a Real Oviedo side in crisis to react, desperately needing a victory to end a historic losing streak and prevent the club's centenary from being marred by relegation.
