RC Deportivo de A Coruna v Sevilla prediction

What to expect

RC Deportivo de A Coruna host Sevilla at their home ground in a La Liga clash on 16 September 2026. Sevilla sit sixth in the table with ten points from five games and a +2 goal difference, just inside the European places. Deportivo are one spot below them, only a point adrift. Both teams are close in the standings and a win could tighten the race for the top half of the table. The match offers a chance for either side to move up or slip down a place, so the stakes are real for both clubs.

Sevilla come into this game after an eight-match run that has produced four wins, one draw and three defeats. Their most recent results, newest first, are a 1-0 win over Valencia at home, a 1-1 draw with Español away, a 3-1 loss to Atlético Madrid at home, a 3-1 victory at Athletic Bilbao, a 2-1 win over Vallecano at home and a 1-0 loss to Celta away. In those eight games they have scored eleven goals and let in ten. They kept only one clean sheet and failed to find the net in two matches. Four of the games featured three or more goals and both sides scored in five of them. Their last four away outings have given them two wins, one draw and one loss, showing they can pick up points on the road.

Both sides average just over a goal per game – Deportivo about 1.3 and Sevilla about 1.5 – and the chances of each side scoring at least once are very similar, around 73 % for Deportivo and 72 % for Sevilla. That makes a game with goals at both ends likely. We think the price of 1.92 for both teams to score matches our view of the match. The odds sit close to what we expect, and the chance of this happening is about 50 %. For the bet to go wrong, both teams would need to keep a clean sheet, which is less likely given their recent scoring records. We therefore back both teams to find the net.
