Real Oviedo vs Real Sociedad: La Liga Prediction (30.08.2025)

On August 30, 2025 at 19:00 CEST, Real Oviedo will host Real Sociedad in the third round of La Liga. Bookmakers see the visitors as slight favorites. Let’s look at the teams’ form and provide our prediction.

Real Oviedo

It’s still hard to judge Oviedo’s prospects in the top flight. The La Liga newcomer played with a full squad for only 27 minutes in their debut match. Once reduced to 10 men, it was nearly impossible to hold Villarreal. Things could have been different had they converted a penalty in the 12th minute.

The second round was even tougher against Real Madrid. Oviedo managed well, trailing only 0–1 at halftime with a controversial goal scored after a possible foul by Tchouaméni. The other two goals came late in the match.

Real Sociedad

The White-and-Blues are in transition. Longtime coach Imanol Alguacil has been replaced by Sergio Francisco, while several key players have left over recent seasons. This summer, Martín Zubimendi, the team’s leader, also departed.

Sociedad have earned points in both opening rounds, though both games ended in draws. Against Valencia, they had to come from behind, and versus Espanyol they trailed 0–2 at halftime before fighting back for a point.

Head-to-head statistics

There is no relevant head-to-head record, as the teams last met 11 years ago in the Copa del Rey.

Prediction

For Real Oviedo vs Real Sociedad, the prediction favors the visitors. Oviedo look competitive but lack elite-level experience. Sociedad, as a stable mid-table side, should have the edge.
