Real Oviedo are unbeaten in their last three home games against Athletic Club in LaLiga (W2 D1), keeping a clean sheet in all three; their best such run without conceding at home against the Basque side in the competition's history.

Following their 1-0 triumph at San Mamés in November 2025, Athletic Club can achieve a league double over Real Oviedo for the seventh time in the top-flight and for the first time since the 1997/98 season, under Luis Fernández.
