Getafe vs Deportivo A Coruna: an unlikely meeting in Spain’s top-flight
Getafe are favorites for Sunday's game at the Coliseum but only marginally so at 2.18 against Deportivo A Coruna's 3.8 with the draw at 2.88. Pepe Bordalás' side have had an uneven start to the LaLiga 2026/2027 campaign with their rigid 4-4-2 set-up not yet finding the right rhythm and their home form has been average with 1 win and 0 losses from 1 game.
Getafe's two most recent results were a 2-1 defeat away to Partizan Belgrade in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 and a 1-0 loss away to Osasuna in LaLiga 2026/2027, leaving them 15th in the table with just 3 points from 3 matches.
They could be in for an upset on Sunday against an in-form Deportivo A Coruna who have flown up to 4th in the early season standings with 8 points from 4 matches. Antonio Hidalgo's side have been building through a structured 4-2-3-1, combining proactive pressing with vertical combinations to hurt the opposition.
Dépor are playing better football and Getafe are on a 2-match losing streak
Recent results
Deportivo A Coruna's most recent matches were a 3-1 home win over Valencia CF in LaLiga 2026/2027 and a 3-2 away win against Villarreal CF in the same competition, leaving them 4th in the standings with 8 points from 4 fixtures. Deportivo A Coruna's away record in the Spanish top-flight has been impressive with 4 goals scored in 2 matches, and they have won 1 and drawn 1 of those two games.
Tactical battle and prediction
Getafe's compact, direct style will clash hard with Deportivo A Coruna's structured possession game and this fixture has the feel of a chess match. However, Deportivo A Coruna have been performing better than the home side in recent weeks and are unbeaten on the road while Getafe have lost their most recent two matches, so we're tipping the visitors to at least avoid defeat here at 3.8.
Unal and Aubameyang are in form
Under 2.5 goals at 1.38 looks the sharper bet in this matchup between two teams that tend to play low-scoring, low-tempo games. Bordalás' men will look to make this a grind and Deportivo A Coruna will try to control the ball and build patiently, so the under makes a lot of sense here.
- Enes Unal has been the key player for Getafe in the opening games of the LaLiga 2026/2027 season, scoring 1 goal in 3 appearances to lead the scoring charts for Getafe.
- He also notched 2 of Getafe's 4 goals over their last 5 games, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been Deportivo A Coruna's main threat with 4 goals in 4 appearances in this campaign's LaLiga 2026/2027 and 2 of their 4 goals in their last 5-game surge.
