Key Facts
- Deportivo sits in 12th place with 11 points, while Osasuna is tied on points in 14th; goal difference separates the two in the standings.
- Jonathan Asp Jensen was the star of Deportivo’s 3-0 cup win over Auriense with his goals, but the winless streak in the league remains the key metric.
- Raúl García was the star of Osasuna’s 6-0 cup win over Atlético Calatayud with his goals; however, their recent league losses put that result into perspective.
- Deportivo will be without Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, whose absence as a key goal-scorer weakens the attack; while Osasuna’s scoring threat is heavily concentrated on Ante Budimir.
- The even head-to-head record suggests a draw, even though Osasuna won the most recent recorded competitive match between the two teams in the Cup.
- The prediction of a draw is based on Deportivo’s two draws in their last five games; however, Osasuna’s decisive cup victory makes it a riskier call.
Match Preview
The cup victory has given Deportivo La Coruña and coach Antonio Hidalgo a boost. But the team has been waiting for a win for six La Liga games. On Monday against Jagoba Arrasate’s Osasuna at Estadio de Riazor, we’ll see if that momentum carries over into the league.
Both teams have 11 points. Deportivo La Coruña sits in 12th place on goal difference, while Osasuna is in 14th. A cup victory alone does not yet signal a turnaround in the league for either team. In their most recent competitive match, Deportivo La Coruña lost 1–2 to Osasuna in the Copa del Rey in 2021.
- Venue: Estadio de Riazor, La Coruña
- Date and time: November 2, 2026, 9:00 p.m.
- Competition: La Liga (Matchday 11)
The betting market favors Deportivo La Coruña, but their recent home draws in the league suggest a draw after regulation time. Osasuna’s lopsided victory in the cup and their poor defensive record in away league matches make this pick risky. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is out, and neither team scored in their last league match. Their offensive form in the league carries more weight than their cup results.
Deportivo La Coruña Form & Record Check
Deportivo La Coruña beat Auriense 3-0 in the Copa del Rey, with Jonathan Asp Jensen scoring twice. However, against a regional opponent, it’s hard to tell whether Deportivo’s slump in La Liga is over. The 0–1 loss to Atlético Madrid and the 1–1 draw against Levante UD show just how tight things are for Deportivo in the league. Aubameyang had scored five league goals before his injury, and his absence is a significant blow to the offense.
Following the lineup rotation in the cup, Hidalgo is likely to revert to the defensive lineup of Adrià Altimira, José María Giménez, Miguel Loureiro, and Giacomo Quagliata. With Bright Ede out, Loureiro is expected to start in defense. Marc Casadó is also unavailable. Leo Román has conceded at least one goal in every league game so far. With a more settled lineup, a clean sheet would be a significant step forward.
Osasuna Form & Record Check
Osasuna defeated Atlético Calatayud 6–0 in the Copa del Rey, with Raúl García scoring three goals. This result is only of limited significance in terms of the team’s offensive strength in the league. Their most recent away game in La Liga was a 0–2 loss to Sevilla FC, preceded by a 2–5 defeat against Real Betis Sevilla. Therefore, little can be inferred from the cup victory when facing stronger opponents.
Ante Budimir has scored seven of Osasuna’s ten league goals. For the “Both Teams to Score: No” bet, it’s therefore particularly important to keep him in check. Jorge Herrando is out, while Aimar Oroz and Romain Del Castillo are questionable. This leaves Arrasate’s lineup options still open. After four consecutive away losses in the league, a draw seems more likely than an Osasuna victory.
Deportivo La Coruña – Osasuna Head-to-Head & Statistics
In the nine recorded competitive matches between the two teams, each side has three wins and three draws. This balanced record supports the prediction of a draw. Osasuna won the most recent recorded competitive match in 2021, when Deportivo lost 1–2 in the Copa del Rey. That favors Osasuna, but given the time that has passed, current league form carries more weight.
Deportivo has scored in each of the last seven recorded matches. That is the strongest historical argument against the “Both Teams to Score: No” bet. Both predictions remain interesting, however: In their most recent league matches, neither team managed to score. For Monday’s game, that is more indicative than the older streak.
