Key Facts
- Deportivo sits in seventh place with nine points, just one point behind sixth-place Sevilla, so the early standings could shift quickly.
- Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored for Deportivo in each of their last five games, remaining the key goal-scorer for the undefeated promoted team.
- Deportivo has both scored and conceded goals in each of their last five games, while Sevilla has scored in all five matches—therefore, the “Both Teams to Score: Yes” bet is supported.
- Sevilla has won three of its last five games and has historically remained unbeaten against Deportivo, which is why betting on “Sevilla to win or a draw” makes sense as a hedge against the home team.
- Rubén Vargas is out for Sevilla due to knee problems, so Félix Correia is likely to stay on the wing, and the visitors will need to find solutions there without Vargas.
- Deportivo’s 3–2 win at Villarreal and Sevilla’s 3–1 victory at Athletic Club support an open game with over 2.5 goals, though with increased risk.
Match Preview
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored in each of Deportivo La Coruña’s first five La Liga matches, a streak that makes the hosts a serious scoring threat when Sevilla visits on Wednesday. The match takes place at Estadio de Riazor during the regular season. Antonio Hidalgo’s team trails Luis García’s visitors by one point, so the early standings could shift immediately.
The betting market is very evenly matched and places great importance on a draw, which is fitting for a matchup between two high-scoring teams. This analysis favors “Both Teams to Score: Yes,” a Sevilla win or a draw, and over 2.5 goals, even though Sevilla’s recent 1-0 victory over Valencia serves as the clearest warning that this could be an open game.
- Venue: Estadio de Riazor, La Coruña
- Date and Time: September 16, 2026, 7:00 PM
- Competition: La Liga (Matchday 6)
Both Teams to Score: “Yes” is the strongest bet because Deportivo has scored and conceded goals in all five league matches, while Sevilla has also scored in each of its five games. “Sevilla or Draw” takes into account the visitors’ win and draw in their two away league matches, while Deportivo’s three draws out of five games make a draw a plausible outcome. Over 2.5 goals is riskier, as Sevilla’s 1-0 win over Valencia suggests a tight game. However, Deportivo’s 3-2 win at Villarreal and Sevilla’s 3-1 win at Athletic Club support this pick.
Deportivo La Coruña Form & Record Check
Deportivo played to a 1-1 draw at Getafe three days before this match. Aubameyang’s equalizer in the 78th minute underscored the composure behind their unbeaten start to the league season. Yeremay Hernández set up the goal after coming on as a substitute in the 71st minute, meaning Hidalgo must make a well-considered personnel decision on the offensive end rather than being able to rely on a set lineup.
After five league games, Deportivo has two wins and three draws—a solid record that has exceeded the basic expectations for a newly promoted team. The 3-2 win at Villarreal and the 3-1 victory over Valencia demonstrate enough offensive potential to suggest over 2.5 goals. However, having conceded goals in all five matches makes it difficult to rule out a Sevilla win or a draw.
Sevilla Form & Record Check
Sevilla won its most recent league match against Valencia 1-0. The late breakthrough demonstrated patience, but at the same time, the low number of goals scored is the strongest argument against “Over 2.5 goals” and makes this selection the least likely outcome in this article.
Luis García’s team has recorded three wins, one draw, and one loss in five league matches—a start that has placed them just ahead of Deportivo. The 3-1 win at Athletic Club and the 1-1 draw at Espanyol make “Sevilla to win or a draw” a solid hedge against the hosts’ unbeaten streak, while goals in every match support the “Both Teams to Score: Yes” bet. Rubén Vargas is out, so the visitors will have to find solutions on the wings without him.
Sevilla is expected to play a 4-4-2, with Odysseas Vlachodimos behind the center-back pairing of Andrés Castrín and Kike Salas. Lucien Agoumé and Youssouf Fofana could form the central midfield pairing, while Lucas Stassin and Isaac Romero are expected to lead the attack. Rubén Vargas is out with knee problems, so Félix Correia is likely to remain on the wing.
Deportivo La Coruña vs. Sevilla Head-to-Head & Statistics
In the last 12 recorded competitive matches, Sevilla has won seven times, while Deportivo has not won a single one. This clear historical imbalance favors Sevilla or a draw. However, the remaining five matches ended in draws, and this cluster of draws serves as the decisive counterbalance to a clear trend in Sevilla’s favor. It lends more support to playing it safe than to betting on an away win.
The most recent matchup ended 0–0 in 2018, a result that clearly calls into question both the “Both Teams to Score” and “Over 2.5 Goals” bets. Four previous meetings featured at least three goals, including Deportivo’s 2–3 loss in 2016 and 3–4 loss in 2015. The older series was thus open enough to keep goal bets in mind, though with a controlled stake.
