Deportivo La Coruna vs Sevilla: La Liga Preview & Team News

Published Fri 11 Sept

Deportivo La Coruna face Sevilla in round six of the 2026-27 La Liga campaign on September 16. With both sides looking to build on solid early-season form, Antonio Hidalgo's hosts welcome Luis Garcia Plaza's outfit for an important top-flight fixture.

Deportivo La Coruna Form Guide

Deportivo have built impressive momentum upon their return to the top flight. Antonio Hidalgo's men remain unbeaten in their early domestic run, collecting eight points from four matches. A 3-2 away victory over Villarreal on September 5 highlighted their attacking capabilities, following up a commanding 3-1 home win against Valencia in late August. Earlier stalemates against Elche and Malaga show a resilient side that has quickly adapted to the demands of La Liga football.

Sevilla Form Guide

Sevilla arrive boasting a solid return of seven points from their opening four matches. Luis Garcia Plaza's side started the campaign with back-to-back victories against Rayo Vallecano and Athletic Bilbao before coming unstuck in a 3-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid. In their most recent outing, they battled to a 1-1 draw with Espanyol, a match where 21-year-old Lucas Stassin made a crucial impact by scoring off the bench.

Team News and Injury Latest

Discipline has been an issue for Sevilla, who have already seen two red cards this term. Defender Arouna Sangante serves a suspension after his dismissal against Espanyol. The visitors will also travel without Marcao and Ruben Vargas, who are sidelined with injuries. However, Nigerian winger Chidera Ejuke is firmly in Plaza’s plans after scoring once this season and starting last time out.

For Deportivo, Adria Altimira is unavailable due to suspension, while Noe Carrillo misses out through injury. Hidalgo is expected to deploy veteran striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang alongside Bil Nsongo in attack, with Leo Roman starting between the posts.

A strong performance in this fixture could define the trajectory of the season for both clubs. Collecting maximum points will be essential as the demanding La Liga calendar accelerates towards the winter months.
