Espanyol will try to end a frustrating run of nine matches without a win when they welcome the last-placed Real Oviedo to the RCDE Stadium on Monday night, March 9, 2026. Although they have been underperforming, the Catalan team is currently seventh in the La Liga standings with 36 points, and they are still aiming for the European qualification spots. On the other hand, Real Oviedo is in a very difficult position at the foot of the table as they are 10 points away from salvation after obtaining only 17 points from 26 games this season.
