The "Los Blancos" have no trophies this season after losing 0-2 to Barcelona in El Clásico, ending their title hopes. They aim to restore pride in the final 3 matches. Their home league record this season is 17 games: 14 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses, totaling 43 points—third best in the league. Historically, they have met Oviedo 84 times, winning 54 and losing 14, unbeaten in the last 7 encounters (4 wins, 3 draws). However, they currently have 9 injured players, including Dean Hausen; Kylian Mbappé and Federico Valverde are likely still not fully fit.
Oviedo is already relegated, sitting bottom with only 29 points, 10 points from safety with only 3 matches left. They have the fewest wins (6) and lowest goals scored (26) in the league. Their away record is poor: 17 games, 2 wins (better only than Elche's 1 win), and 11 losses. Although they won 2 consecutive matches in early April, they have no wins in their last 4 games (2 draws, 2 losses). They lost 0-3 to Real Madrid in the first leg. Additionally, Kwasi Sibo and Javi Lopez are suspended after red cards in the last 0-0 draw against Getafe; Eric Bailly remains injured. They are expected to lose again.
Prediction Real Madrid will win comfortably.

In the final 3 matches, "Los Che" still have a slim chance to qualify for the Europa League (8 points behind 6th place Celta) and the UEFA Conference League (3 points behind 7th place Getafe). However, their form is inconsistent: in the last 7 matches, 3 wins, 3 losses, and 1 draw. At home in the league, they have 17 games with 7 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses. They have not beaten Rayo since last season (2 draws, 1 loss). For this match, José Gopete, Dimitri Foulquier, and Thierry Correia are newly injured, totaling 5 absences. The attack depends on Javi Guerra and Hugo Duro.
Rayo arrives full of confidence after defeating Strasbourg 2-0 on aggregate to reach their first-ever European final, where they will face Crystal Palace on 27 May in the UEFA Conference League final. In the league, they still have a chance for the Europa League (7 points behind 6th place Celta). Their recent form is strong, unbeaten in the last 6 games across all competitions (4 wins, 2 draws). However, their away league record is weak: 17 games, 4 wins, 10 losses. Isi Palazón is suspended, and with injuries totaling 5 absences, but they are expected not to lose.
Prediction Valencia and Rayo will draw with goals.
