Deportivo welcome Levante to Riazor sitting eighth in La Liga, four points clear of the drop zone their visitors currently occupy. Depor have not tasted victory in eight matches across competitions, a stretch defined by draws rather than collapses, while Levante arrive having shipped 15 goals in just seven league games, a defensive record that ranks among the division’s worst. Both sides need points, but neither has shown the sharpness to grab them with authority lately.
Yeremay Hernández has been Depor’s most reliable attacking outlet, contributing a goal and carrying the highest shot volume among the forward line in recent weeks. For Levante, Iván Romero has scored twice in his last two outings and remains the player most likely to trouble Depor’s back line on the counter.
Hot stat: Levante have conceded 15 goals in only seven league matches this season, a leakier record than every side above them in the table bar two, which explains why both of Depor’s last two home league fixtures produced goals from both ends.

Deportivo La Coruna vs Levante prediction
Our team leans toward Deportivo at home, though not with much conviction given their own barren run. The value sits with backing the hosts on a draw no bet basis rather than the straight moneyline, since Depor have drawn four of their last eight games and a repeat stalemate would not shock anyone watching their recent form. Levante’s away form has produced three losses in five, and their defense has been generous enough that Depor’s modest attack should find a route through, even if it only takes one or two chances.
Depor average far higher volume numbers across the board, 49 shots and 1,235 completed passes in their last five compared to Levante’s 26 shots and 713 passes, which points to a possession-heavy, foul-light approach from the hosts. Levante commit fewer fouls too, 17 against Depor’s 34 in the same span, but that discipline has not translated into defensive solidity. Expect Depor to dominate territory while Levante sit deeper and look to hit on the break through Romero.

Team Analysis
Depor’s last outing saw them fall 3-2 away at Real Sociedad, a result that continued their habit of leaking late goals despite creating enough to score themselves. In our preview of Real Sociedad vs Deportivo La Coruna we called a Sociedad win protected with draw no bet, and the 3-2 scoreline delivered on that pick. Before that, Depor drew with Porto’s rivals Penafiel 2-2 and shared the points with Real Betis 1-1, a pattern of competitive, open games rather than one-sided ones.
Levante’s most recent game ended 3-3 at home against Sevilla, a wild back-and-forth affair that typified their season so far: goals at both ends, defensive lapses, and no cutting edge to close games out. In our preview of Levante vs Sevilla we backed Sevilla to edge it, and that primary call missed with the match finishing level at 3-3 rather than a Sevilla win. Before that draw, Levante lost 1-3 to Villarreal and 2-4 to Barcelona, continuing a run where they have struggled defensively against sides with genuine attacking quality.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Deportivo La Coruna the favourite
- Moneyline Deportivo La Coruna 2.01 | Levante 3.38
- Draw 3.48
Bookmakers give Depor a 46% implied chance of winning, with the draw and Levante roughly splitting the rest at 27% each. That gap feels fair given home advantage and the gulf in passing volume between the two sides, though it is wide enough to suggest the market expects Depor’s attacking struggles to persist rather than disappear overnight.
Possible Starting Lineups
Deportivo La Coruna possible starting eleven
- GK: Leonardo Román Riquelme
- DF: José María Giménez, Giacomo Quagliata, Bright Ede, Ximo Navarro
- MF: Mario Soriano, Riki Rodríguez, Diego Villares, Jonathan Asp Jensen
- FW: Bil Nsongo, Yeremay Hernández
Hidalgo’s 4-4-2 relies on Giménez marshalling the back line while Soriano dictates tempo centrally. Yeremay remains the one to watch going forward, with Nsongo offering a physical outlet up top and Aubameyang available off the bench as an impact option.
Levante possible starting eleven
- GK: Mathew Ryan
- DF: Adrián de la Fuente, Jeremy Toljan, Manu Sánchez, Ifeanyi Ndukwe
- MF: Jon Ander Olasagasti, Oriol Rey, Enzo Bardeli, Daniel Requena Sánchez
- FW: Iván Romero, Roger Brugué
Castro’s 4-2-3-1 shape leans on Olasagasti and Rey screening the back four, though that pairing has not prevented a leaky defense this season. Romero carries the main goal threat, with Brugué’s assist numbers suggesting he will look to combine with him through the middle.

The Verdict
We predict Deportivo edge a scrappy, open contest at Riazor, perhaps 2-1, with Yeremay or Nsongo getting on the scoresheet and Romero keeping Levante’s hopes alive late on. Depor’s volume stats and home comfort give them the edge, but their recent inability to win games outright means a draw remains a live outcome, hence the draw no bet lean rather than a straight moneyline punt. Goals look nailed on given both sides’ recent scoring records, so BTTS and over 2.5 goals pair nicely with the result bet here.
