Real Oviedo welcome Castellon at Nuevo Carlos Tartiere, Oviedo on Sunday, Jan 3 at 3:00 PM in a LaLiga 2 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Real Oviedo come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Castellon travel in mixed form (2W 2D 1L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Real Oviedo and Castellon have split their 5 meetings almost evenly (2W–1D–2W). Their last encounter ended in Real Oviedo won 1–0.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Real Oviedo win or a draw looks most likely.
