Why Villarreal are favourites for the match
A Villarreal win is quoted at 1.50, the draw at 4.60 and a Deportivo win at 6.20. The arguments in favour of this assessment are:
- Villarreal win regularly at home — they have won 8 of their last 10 matches on their own ground.
- Villarreal effectively contain opponents' attacks at home — in 8 of their last 10 matches, their opponents have had no more than 13 shots. This means Deportivo, who already shoot infrequently away from home, will be even more limited in attack.
- Villarreal are among the league's top three teams for expected goals (average xG of 1.98), while Deportivo allow an average of six shots on target per match — one of the worst records in the league.
Form and Line-up Villarreal
Villarreal have made a difficult start to the 2026/27 season: they have taken two points from their opening three La Liga matches, drawing 2:2 twice (against Racing and Atletico) and losing to Alaves (0:1), despite dominating throughout. All three matches, however, were away from home. Returning to their own stadium should give the hosts more confidence, as the Yellow Submarine have won 8 of their last 10 La Liga home matches.

Villarreal are unbeaten in their last 4 matches against Deportivo.

Form and Line-up Deportivo La Coruna
Deportivo have made a better start to the new season: one win and two draws, with an aggregate score of 5:3, have earned them five points and eighth place ahead of Matchday 4. However, the club from La Coruna have struggled away from home. The visitors have conceded at least one goal in seven of their previous nine matches.
