Venue (City, Stadium) | A Coruna, ABANCA-Riazor |
Deportivo A Coruna vs Levante kicks off at Riazor on Friday night, and this LaLiga fixture has the look of a messy, open evening.
Antonio Hidalgo's Deportivo sit eighth in the table. Their last outing brought a 3-2 defeat at Real Sociedad, with Lorenzo Amatucci sent off and now suspended.
Luis Castro's Levante are 17th, albeit with a game in hand. They are still hunting a first away win of the campaign and drew 3-3 at home to Sevilla last time out.
Goals follow this pairing around. Deportivo have seen over 2.5 goals in their last five matches against Levante in all competitions, while Levante have scored at least twice in their last four against Deportivo in all competitions.
Deportivo A Coruna vs Levante Form
Deportivo's league return reads W2 D4 L2 from their opening eight games, which is stubborn rather than spectacular. They are at their best coming back from losing positions and attacking down the wings. The problem is the man who has driven the attack: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang found the net in five of his previous seven top-flight outings, and he is now sidelined.
Levante have collected W1 D3 L3 from seven league outings, so the table does not flatter them. Yet they are a side who keep fighting back from behind, and they have a genuine outlet in Iván Romero, on target in each of his last three appearances. The defence is the issue, not the attack.

Deportivo A Coruna
The engine room takes a hit, with Amatucci banned after his straight red at Real Sociedad and Marc Casadó out until mid-December with a fractured collarbone. Aubameyang is not expected back from meniscus surgery until early November, and Zakaria Eddahchouri is a doubt with a fractured wrist. Noe Carrillo is back in contention after getting the medical all-clear, while B. Nsongo is set to lead the line in the probable Deportivo A Coruna vs Levante lineups.
Levante
Levante have no confirmed absentees but three doubts. Hugo Sotelo has a knee sprain, Karl Etta Eyong has a thigh problem but has returned to partial training, and Álex Primo is still recovering from a dislocated shoulder. Romero and Roger Brugué should still carry the attacking burden behind P. Ratkov.

Deportivo A Coruna vs Levante Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Deportivo 2-1 Levante. The hosts are favourites at 6/5 (AK Bets) in the Deportivo A Coruna vs Levante betting odds, and that price looks fair. Even without Aubameyang they have more ways to hurt a leaky Levante back line, but the visitors carry enough going forward to get on the scoresheet.
Best Bets
Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. Deportivo and Levante have both been involved in plenty of goals recently. Levante's defence is the story here, having conceded at least 3 goals in each of their last 3 LaLiga matches. Pair that with a Deportivo side who love to play with width and this has the makings of an end-to-end night.
Both Teams To Score: Yes. Deportivo are projected to score about 1.56 goals and Levante about 1.28. Both teams have scored in 4 of the last 4 meetings between Deportivo and Levante in LaLiga. Deportivo are vulnerable defending counter-attacks and set pieces, and that is exactly where Levante's direct, cross-heavy approach can find a way through.
Deportivo A Coruna vs Levante Bet Builder
This Bet Builder leans on the visitors' attack, combining Iván Romero to score, Over 3.5 goals and Roger Brugué to have over 3.5 shots.
Romero is Levante's man in form, having netted in three straight league starts, and Deportivo's issues defending counters suit his game.
Over 3.5 goals, priced at 9/4 (Betfred) on its own, is a step beyond our scoreline call. Still, it has landed in each of Levante's last three matches.
Brugué has fired 4+ shots in three of his past five league appearances, and Levante are a side who take a lot of shots.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 23/1 and is as short as 10/1 elsewhere.

Deportivo A Coruna vs Levante Talking Points
Hidalgo has flagged Levante's clear identity of building from the back to draw opponents out, and that is a direct invitation for a Deportivo side who are excellent at stealing the ball high up the pitch. The hosts also hold an edge in the air, where Levante struggle, so set pieces and crosses could prove decisive. Castro, meanwhile, has already voiced concern about the tight turnaround between the Sevilla game and the trip north to A Coruna. Fatigue and a fragile defence is a poor mix, and it is why the hosts get the nod in this preview's best bets.
