Deportivo vs Sevilla Prediction 16 September 2026
π Depor were battling Getafe just last Sunday, snatching a 1-1 draw late on, and now they are back out on the pitch just three days later. A schedule like this will quickly show how ready Antonio Hidalgo's side are for life in La Liga: spirit alone won't be enough - fresh legs and squad depth will be needed now.
Sevilla arrive having learned to pick up points without playing particularly well. A draw with Espanyol, then a late win over Valencia - Luis GarcΓa Plaza's side are increasingly finding ways to grind out results in tight matches. So the question is no longer whether Depor can keep surprising people. What's more interesting is who runs out of steam first.
Head-to-Head
π The two sides have met 26 times: Sevilla have won 14, Deportivo five, and seven matches have ended in draws. It is worth noting, though, that these are old results - the clubs have not faced each other for more than eight years.
Their last meeting came in April 2018 and finished goalless. Deportivo have not beaten Sevilla in La Liga since 2010, and the Andalusians' unbeaten run in this fixture has stretched to 13 matches.
Head-to-head statistics Deportivo - Sevilla
Deportivo A-Coruna Team Overview
The return has been almost perfect: nine points, 9:6 on goals and no defeats. The week before the Getafe match was particularly impressive - Depor comfortably dismantled Valencia, then won 3-2 away at Villarreal. At Getafe they had to show something different - character. It was a scrappy match, the hosts went ahead, but the visitors held on until their moment came and were rescued by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Gabonese striker scored for the fifth consecutive round.
Match Results: Deportivo A-Coruna
Sevilla Team Overview
Luis GarcΓa Plaza's side have also moved on quickly from last season. Three wins, a draw and one defeat - 10 points - is above expectations for a club that went through another rebuild in the summer. The last two rounds passed without drama. After a 1-1 draw with Espanyol, the Andalusians ground down Valencia and kept a clean sheet for the first time this season. There was not much to admire in terms of play, but something more important emerged - the ability to grind out three points on an evening when the attack is not firing.

π Aruna Sangante will miss the match with an ankle sprain. Ruben Vargas also remains unavailable as he continues his knee treatment.
β½ Goals Prediction
Depor have not had a single match where only one side scored: the hosts have found the net in all five rounds, but they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in any of them. Even Getafe, who struggle enormously to score, found their moment. Sevilla also reach the opposition goal consistently - eight goals in five matches, with at least one in every round. The clean sheet against Valencia was their first of the season, but the current Deportivo side are far more dangerous going forward. Our pick: Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.95*.
π© Corners Prediction
There is almost no difference in corners won. The hosts average around 3.8 per match, the visitors roughly 3.6. For that reason, individual team totals of 4.5 are not worth considering. More interesting is how many corners each side concedes. Depor give away an average of 6, while Sevilla's figure is 4.5. Our bet: Sevilla to win the corners with Handicap (0) at 2.02*.
π¨ Yellow Cards Prediction
This season Sevilla have been booked more often: 14 yellow cards in five rounds compared to 9 for Depor. Add two red cards and 75 fouls, and it is clear the Andalusians are not shy about hard work off the ball. The hosts commit plenty of fouls too, but they are carded less frequently.
In La CoruΓ±a, the visitors will have to deal repeatedly with Depor's quick wide play and ObameyangΚΌs movement. That kind of football tends to produce tactical fouls that can escalate into bookings. We are playing Sevilla to receive more yellow cards.
*Odds are approximate and may vary across different bookmakers.
βοΈ Editorial Prediction
Depor's unbeaten start is impressive, but three of their five matches have ended in draws. Sevilla have been better at turning level games into wins. Going for an outright away victory against these hosts feels risky - the Riazor is rediscovering the feel of top-level football. The zero handicap, though, provides cover for another draw. Predicted score: 1-2. Main bet: Sevilla to win with Handicap (0).
