RC Deportivo La Coruña vs Levante UD Prediction La Liga · Oct 16, 2026

Analysis

Deportivo come in unbeaten in four of their last five: 3-1 at home to Valencia, a 3-2 win away at Villarreal, then 1-1 at Getafe and 1-1 at home to Betis, with the only blemish a 0-1 home loss to Sevilla. Across those five games they have 8 goals for and 6 against, and both teams scored in three of them, so Riazor has been lively rather than locked down. Levante are the far more volatile side: a 5-2 demolition of Betis sits next to a 2-4 home defeat by Barcelona and a 1-3 loss at Villarreal, yet two goalless draws (0-0 at Malaga, 0-0 at home to Athletic) prove they can smother a match when they sit deep. The table offers little separation in this part of the league - five teams are tied on 8 points after seven rounds, while the runaway leaders are 7-0-0 with 31 goals - so this is decided by venue and rhythm, not class. With no head-to-head record available in the data provided, I lean on Deportivo's steadier base and home advantage for a 2-1, while fully respecting Levante's ability to find one goal.
