Will the Atletico Express continue rolling?
A difficult task awaits Oviedo, who have had a weak start to their campaign in Spain’s top flight. Atletico Madrid, one of the strongest home teams in Europe, await the team from Asturias. Accordingly, the bookies see little chance of the underdogs picking up any points in an Atletico Madrid vs. Oviedo tip.
While the Colchoneros have been flexing their muscles at home with six wins from seven games and an outstanding goal difference of 18:6, they have also won twice in a row away from home recently. Diego Simeone’s team has thus increased its lead over fifth-placed Betis Sevilla to seven points. And according to our Atletico Madrid vs. Oviedo prediction, the gap will remain at least seven points after the upcoming matchday.
Two scenarios that we can well imagine for the upcoming match and that offer significantly higher odds are a clean sheet victory for the defensively strong hosts and a favorite victory with at least two or even three goals.
Atletico Madrid – Oviedo Head-to-head record
The only game between the two teams in recent history took place in 2013. At that time, the Colchoneros won 2-0 in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey at Real Oviedo. The last league matches between the two teams, on the other hand, were more than twenty years ago and are therefore not necessarily meaningful.
Nevertheless, Atletico Madrid leads the overall record in this match with 34 wins. Real Oviedo won 23 matches, with 18 draws. As expected, the betting odds for Atletico Madrid vs. Oviedo on Sunday once again show the team from the Spanish capital as favorites.
Atletico Madrid – Oviedo Tip
After some initial slip-ups on the road, Diego Simeone seems to be slowly bringing consistency to his team in away games. Last weekend’s away win in Getafe was their second away win in a row. This has established the Colchoneros in the top four of La Liga and brought them to within four points of city rivals Real Madrid. nbsp;
We don’t see a big risk of a slip-up by the favorites in our Atletico Madrid vs. Oviedo prediction. As usual, Simeone’s team is as strong as ever at home in the Metropolitano this season. In Madrid, Simeone’s team has picked up 19 out of a possible 21 points and has yet to lose a game (6-1-0). While the star-studded offense regularly shines in home games, Atletico’s defense is also impressive, conceding less than one goal per game on average at the Estadio Metropolitano.
They have already kept three clean sheets at home in the league this season. Will game number four follow on Saturday? With Oviedo, an opponent who has only scored five goals in six away games so far, the chances are certainly not bad. Ultimately, we expect a clear victory for the favorites in the upcoming match.
The Colchoneros’ upcoming opponent remains in last place in the Spanish top flight after a goalless draw against Rayo Vallecano last week. With only nine points after 13 matchdays and an embarrassing first-round exit from the Copa del Rey against underdogs Ourense, Luis Carrion’s team is among the bottom eight teams in the top five leagues in terms of points average in all competitions in 2025/26.
On the contrary, we expect a clear defeat for the promoted team at the Estadio Metropolitano this coming Saturday. So how can coach Carrion lift his team’s spirits before their match against the overwhelming favorites?
Perhaps with the fact that last year’s third-placed team in the Segunda Division did not lose in three of their last five league games. In addition, the last three away games have gone quite well, with a win in Valencia and a draw in Girona. Most recently, however, Real Oviedo suffered another narrow 0-1 defeat in Bilbao. We expect another defeat for the “Carbayones” this coming Saturday, but this time with a clearer result than last time in Bilbao.
