Deportivo La Coruna preview: Super Depor
After an impressive summer transfer window following their promotion back to La Liga last season, Galician giants Deportivo La Coruna remain unbeaten with two victories and three draws in their opening five games so far this season.
Depor rescued a point against Getafe at the Coliseum in midweek with Ramon Terrats’ opener being cancelled out by Depor’s star summer signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – who now has five goals in five games this year.
Sevilla preview: Wins but unconvincing
Sevilla have been involved in relegation battles in each of the last three seasons and financial difficulties should ensure they remain fairly underwhelming but the Andalusians have scrapped out three wins in their first five games.
The Sevillanos overcame fellow fallen giants Valencia by a goal to nil at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan at the weekend, courtesy of a late winner scored by former Getafe full-back Juan Iglesias.

Deportivo La Coruna vs Sevilla prediction
Sevilla have won three games but all three have perhaps been fortunate, coming from behind with two penalties to defeat Rayo Vallecano, exploiting silly mistakes against Athletic and then unconvincingly edging past a poor Valencia side that have since sacked manager Carlos Corberan. Depor will fancy themselves to extend their surprise unbeaten start to this season to six matches, especially with home advantage in A Coruna.
Deportivo La Coruna vs Sevilla tip: Double chance – Deportivo La Coruna to win or draw
