Oviedo vs Alaves Match Preview: La Liga Clash on May 17, 2026
Match Context
Oviedo host Alaves at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere on 17 May 2026 in La Liga, Regular Season - 37. Oviedo come in bottom of the table in 20th place on 29 points, with a goal difference of -30, while Alaves sit 16th on 40 points and a -12 goal difference.
Oviedo Availability
Oviedo face multiple midfield concerns.
- B. Domingues (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
- L. Dendoncker (Injury) is doubtful.
- O. Ejaria (Injury) is doubtful.
All three affect Oviedo’s central options and rotation in a side that has scored just 26 league goals so far.
Alaves Availability
Alaves have a key defensive suspension and a major attacking worry.
- F. Garces (Suspended) is sidelined.
- L. Boye (Muscle Injury) is doubtful.
L. Boye, with 11 league goals and 1 assist, is one of Alaves’ top attacking threats; his status being doubtful is a potential major blow. Leading scorer Toni Martínez (12 goals, 3 assists) is available and expected to shoulder even more responsibility if Boye does not feature.
Impact Summary
Oviedo’s absences are concentrated in midfield creativity and control, while Alaves risk losing a significant share of their 42 league goals if Boye cannot play. With Toni Martínez available, Alaves retain their primary goal source, but their overall attacking output could be notably reduced compared with a full-strength front line.
