Oviedo vs Elche Match Preview: Key Players and Context

Match Context

Oviedo host Elche at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere on 26 April 2026 in La Liga Regular Season - 32. Oviedo sit 20th with 28 points and a goal difference of -24, fighting against relegation after 6 wins in 32 matches. Elche arrive 16th on 35 points with a -7 goal difference, still needing results to stay clear of the bottom three.

Oviedo Availability

Oviedo have one concern in midfield. L. Dendoncker (Injury) is doubtful. His potential absence would remove an experienced option in the centre of the pitch, but the hosts’ main attacking threat remains intact: leading scorer F. Viñas, who has 9 league goals and 1 assist, is available.

Elche Availability

Elche travel without one attacker. A. Boayar (Muscle Injury) is sidelined and will not feature. Even so, their key offensive pieces are set to play: top scorer André Silva, also on 9 league goals, and leading creator Martim Neto, with 5 assists and 2 goals, are both available.

Impact Summary

Both sides lose depth rather than headline attacking output. Oviedo’s primary goal threat F. Viñas is available, preserving most of their limited 25-goal league haul. Elche, who have scored 42 times, are without A. Boayar, but retain the core of their attacking production through André Silva and Martim Neto, so their forward threat remains largely intact.
