"Following a crucial win over Slavia Prague in Champions League action in midweek, Barcelona turn their attentions back to La Liga as they face bottom of the table Real Oviedo at the Greatest Stadium on Earth on Saturday afternoon. This is the first home game for Barça in 2026 and the first in six weeks after playing eight straight games away from home. There truly is no place like home, and spending so much time on the road certainly makes this one feel special."
"It's hard to say any team is a huge favorite in today's game, but Barça should be considered huge favorites in this one. Oviedo are serious candidates for relegation and have not won a match in any competition since September, and arrive at Camp Nou on a 13-game winless streak in the league. They have managed seven draws in this period and are still alive in the fight for survival for now, but they'll come to Barça's stadium to defend as deep as possible and try to pull off a major upset to boost their hopes of staying in the top flight."
Barcelona host Real Oviedo at Camp Nou on January 25, 2026, with kickoff at 16:15 CET. Barcelona sit second with 49 points and can return to the top with a win; several starters are unavailable: Gavi, Ferran Torres, Pedri and Andreas Christensen. Barcelona come off a Champions League victory over Slavia Prague and play their first home match of 2026 after eight straight away games. Real Oviedo lie 20th with 13 points, are winless in any competition since September and arrive on a 13-game league winless run; Eric Bailly is out and Ovie Ejaria is doubtful. Oviedo are likely to defend deep and seek an upset to boost their survival bid.
