This match, part of Matchday 37, comes with significant implications, particularly for Alavés, as they scramble to ensure their top-flight survival.

Keyplayer Statistics/Momentum/External Factors

Real Oviedo's standout performer this season has been goalkeeper Aarón Escandell, who leads La Liga in saves with an average of 4.1 per match. Despite their poor season, his performances have been commendable. For Alavés, the absence of Lucas Boyé due to injury could be pivotal, as he has been instrumental in their attack with 11 goals this season. However, Toni Martínez will be looked upon to fill the gap and lead Alavés' frontline. The momentum from their win over Barcelona could provide the necessary boost for Alavés as they head into this crucial encounter.
