- Home form: Dépor have been unbeaten in 2 home LaLiga 2026/2027 matches, conceding just 2 goals (W1, D1).

Close and cagey match predicted at Abanca-Riazor
Sunday's LaLiga 2026/2027 action at the Abanca-Riazor could be a close matchup with Real Betis coming into this game on a two-game winning streak and Deportivo A Coruna unbeaten in their two home matches so far (W1, D1).
The table suggests that this is a fairly evenly poised game with Los Verdiblancos sat 6th in the standings after claiming 9 points from 4 matches, while Dépor are 5th with the same number of points.
Dépor have made a sharp start to the season and are currently within the chasing group, but Betis have looked even sharper in recent weeks, beating Real Madrid 1-0 before a 3-2 away win at Lille last time out. Los Verdiblancos are 2.55 favorites here, with Dépor at 2.7 and the Draw at 3.25.
Betis edge the value
Betting angle:
The visitors are clearly in the better form and have an away edge, so we're taking the 3.25 about a Draw in what should be a tight game.
Tactical setup:
Antonio Hidalgo has Dépor playing from a 4-4-2/4-2-3-1 hybrid, rotating the players in the interior lines and pressing selectively to maintain their shape. Manuel Pellegrini keeps his men compact and in control of the tempo by using their possession, wide overloads and smart tempo management to manipulate opponents.
Key players and form:
- Dépor are good going forward with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the club's leading goalscorer in LaLiga 2026/2027, hitting the score with 5 in 5 and 3 in the last 5 games.
- Betis also have Marc Bartra on 3 goals in his last 5 matches, which is a real bonus from the back line and an indicator that they can also be dangerous from set-pieces.
- Rodrigo Riquelme is Betis' top scorer in the league with 2 goals from 4 games and he's been a constant threat for Los Verdiblancos with his pace and trickery in the final third.
- Dépor have been excellent this season, notching a 3-1 home win over Valencia and 2-3 at Villarreal, so they'll be a tough test for Los Verdiblancos.
Game likely to stay tight and tense
Dépor have won 2 and drawn 3 of their last 5, so this should be a cagey affair, although under 2.5 goals looks a safer bet at 1.8 if the midfield battle gets too tough.
