Oviedo's tackle numbers stand out as his most consistent contribution, averaging over five per match in limited minutes as a replacement — a rate that points to immediate defensive impact whenever he takes the field. His carrying game is modest in volume, though his best outings show he can stretch to five carries and eight metres when called upon. The overall picture is of a bench forward who prioritises defensive work and brings reliable structure to the set-piece and breakdown.
