Oviedo vs Getafe - La Liga

Tactical intrigue takes centre stage on May 10, 2026 as Oviedo and Getafe prepare to square off at the home ground, with both managers known for their strategic nuance in the La Liga. That coronation came from City's £116m summer signing Elliot Anderson - and has been hotly debated in the build-up to the Manchester derby Super Sunday showdown at Old Trafford, which you can watch live on Sky Sports.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. The signals point towards a stalemate, with the two sides closely matched across form and standings. A 1-1 draw is easy to envisage. With positions in the La Liga table to defend and momentum to chase, neither side can afford to leave anything in the tank. The Spaniard heading to Barca all but rules out a midfield departure from the Bernabeu and thus United will likely have to look elsewhere.
