- Aubameyang is Dépor's best and only real goal threat, but Roger Brugue could cause problems at the other end.
- Dépor have won only one, drawn two and lost one at home in LaLiga 2026/2027, while Levante are still seeking their first away win in four attempts.
Cagey game anticipated in Galicia
Friday's clash between Deportivo A Coruna and Levante at the Abanca-Riazor looks like it could be a cagey affair with neither team in good form and both in need of a win. The Dépor are on a run of one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five and Levante arrive on a rough patch of two defeats in their last three.
The visitors have the head-to-head edge, however, with a 2-1 win here in the second tier of Spanish football back in 2024/2025. That gives Levante the edge in the head-to-head market, which could be crucial as both sides have a couple of things to say in the odds.
There is little to separate the teams, however, and Dépor are currently priced at 27/25 with Levante at 12/5, which feels a little strange. The draw is also 12/5, which seems too high, so it may be a wiser bet to take both teams to score as a favourite at 73/100 or over 2.5 goals at 9/10.
Dépor not that great at home, but not that bad
Dépor coach Antonio Hidalgo has constructed a pretty good side from the 4-2-3-1 system that can change into a 3-2-5 when the hosts have the ball. They will try to press teams high up the field and have a number of players capable of making things happen in the build-up, but Levante under Luis Castro are built to stop central play and spring the transitions.
Levante have opted for a 4-3-3 and are more structured in their build-up and pressing in the past two games. Their away numbers in this level are poor, however, scoring just 0.25 goals per game and conceding 1.50, although Dépor have only conceded four goals in four home fixtures in 2026/2027 and remain competitive at the Riazor.
Dépor do have Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as a goal threat. The Gabonese forward has five goals in seven LaLiga 2026/2027 games and two of Dépor's last six goals have been scored by him. Levante have the sharpest finisher in the opposition ranks with Roger Brugue, who has scored three goals in five LaLiga 2026/2027 appearances and three of Levante's last eight overall in his last five.
