A balanced game at the top end
Tactical setup
5th-placed Deportivo A Coruna (8 points from 4 games) host 7th-placed Sevilla FC (7 points) in a clash that will have early-season top-half consequences in the league table on Wednesday. Antonio Hidalgo has shaped Dépor into a compact, transition-heavy side that protects the spine and has them set up to be a side that does the dirty work, especially in transition.
Mario Soriano and Lorenzo Amatucci are the two midfielders in the center of the pitch, so they have the ability to play from the back and move the ball forward while giving the game a quick pace, but it's a simple game. Defensively, they are compact and they have pace to break forward, it's a recipe for the league.
Key players
- Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is Dépor's talisman and he has 4 goals in 4 appearances in this LaLiga 2026/2027 season, 2 of Dépor's last 5 goals have come from his foot.
- Sevilla's sharpest threat has been Chidera Ejuke, who has 1 goal in 4 league appearances, however, Miguel Angel Sierra has popped up with 2 goals in the past 5 games.
Sevilla may have to dig deep
Sevilla have won two and lost two in their last 5 games across all current competitions (W2, D1, L2), so they've been on a bit of a rollercoaster. Luis Garcia has brought a much more pragmatic approach to the side, they're not quite as adventurous but he seems to want to maintain the width in the attack.
They beat Athletic Bilbao 3-1 away from home on matchday 1 before a 3-1 home defeat against Atletico Madrid, they then drew 1-1 against Espanyol away from home.
This game looks a lot closer than the 2.42 odds for a home win suggest (Sevilla FC 3.0, Draw 3.1) and both sides will have to work hard for the win. Deportivo A Coruna have won their last 2 matches, beating Valencia 3-1 at home before a 3-2 victory away to Villarreal and they drew 1-1 at Malaga.
It's an interesting contrast of styles and we think the two will complement each other nicely, we're going for a close home win as Hidalgo's men have been solid at the back. Under 2.5 goals is a 1.62 favorite and it's a number that will likely fit this tactical match, however, both teams can land a few punches in this game, so we're siding with a BTTS Yes at 1.91.
