Los Colchoneros to shut out Depror
Match outlook
Atletico Madrid will try to shut down a decent Deportivo A Coruna side in Saturday's LaLiga 2026/2027 matchup at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano and the odds on the game are unlikely to reflect how tight and cagey this game could be. Atleti are 1.23 favorites to take the win against Deportivo, who are in poor nick having failed to win their last 5 games. At 6.0 the draw looks tempting, although Atleti are in the driving seat and have won 5 straight in all competitions.
Form and context
Oscar Fernandez's side are 2nd in LaLiga 2026/2027 on 22 points from 9 games and Deportivo A Coruna are 8th with 11 points. Atletico have been brilliant on the road, beating Deportivo Alaves and RCD Espanyol away from home either side of a 2-0 Champions League win at Old Trafford.
Atleti are ruthless and rapid in transition
Fernandez has kept his team compact and ruthless this season, just as Diego Simeone did for 15 years at the club. The 4-4-2 is pragmatic and allows Atletico to dominate the ball and play fast when in transition.
Key players
- Alejandro Baena has been Atletico Madrid's main scoring threat in 2026/2027, scoring 4 in 7, but Jonathan David has added 3 assists in their last 5, giving Fernandez another outlet in the front line.
- The visitors arrive in very poor form and Antonio Hidalgo's team has been pressing hard in a 4-2-3-1 system that tries to win the ball high up and counterattack at pace.
- Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been their standout player with 5 in 7 in the league, so Deportivo A Coruna has some venom going forward.
Last H2H was a cagey affair
Deportivo have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 1 of their 4 away games in the LaLiga 2026/2027 to date, scoring and conceding an average of 1.75 goals per contest. But Atletico are simply on fire and have won 3 of their last 3 at home, so will have them under control.
Atleti have conceded just 3 goals at home this term and should have enough to seal the win against a team that they beat 1-0 away from home in the Copa del Rey 2025/2026. The H2H history also tells you this won't be an open game.
So, odds-against on the home team are just about where they should be, but 2.55 on under 2.5 goals looks like a solid bet here.
