Deportivo are still unbeaten since returning to La Liga: prediction for Deportivo vs Sevilla
The sixth-round La Liga clash between «Deportivo» and «Sevilla» will take place on September 16 at the Abanca-Riazor Stadium. The hosts have collected nine points and sit sixth, while the Andalusians have 10 points and occupy fifth place.
Deportivo: unbeaten after five rounds
After returning to the top flight, Antonio Hidalgo’s side immediately showed they can compete at this level. «Deportivo» have recorded two wins and three draws, collecting seven points in their last three matches after beating «Valencia» 3-1 and «Villarreal» 3-2 before drawing 1-1 with «Getafe».
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has emerged as one of the team’s key players, contributing five goals and two assists in five matches. The striker’s superb form significantly boosts the hosts’ attacking threat.
Sevilla: a confident start after a difficult previous season
Luís García Plaza’s side have won three of their first five league matches. After a 3-1 defeat to «Atlético», the Andalusians drew 1-1 with «Espanyol» before edging past «Valencia» thanks to a late goal from Juan Iglesias.
«Sevilla» also have an impressive record against this opponent and are unbeaten in their last 13 La Liga matches against «Deportivo». However, the hosts’ current form suggests that extending this run will be far from easy.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- «Deportivo» have not lost any of their first five league matches.
- «Sevilla» have collected 10 points in five rounds, recording three wins.
- The Andalusians are unbeaten against «Deportivo» in their last 13 La Liga meetings.
The hosts can take points off another strong opponent: prediction for Deportivo vs Sevilla
«Deportivo» have proved extremely difficult to beat so far, while home advantage and Aubameyang’s excellent form give the newly promoted side further arguments in their favour. At the same time, «Sevilla» have made a steady start to the season and rarely allow opponents to take complete control of a match.
The teams look closely matched on current form, so a clear advantage for either side should not be expected. An even contest with both teams finding the net looks like the most likely scenario.
