Deportivo A-Coruna vs Osasuna 2 November 2026 Prediction

Deportivo La Coruña vs Osasuna closes out La Liga’s 11th round at the Riazor. The teams are level on points, and neither has met expectations so far. Both have a chance to move up the standings with a win.

Deportivo Has Struggled to Convert Its Chances

After a promising start, Deportivo has gone six La Liga matches without a win, taking just three points in that stretch. Antonio Hidalgo’s team has outperformed its opponents on expected goals (xG) in each of its last four matches but has struggled to finish its chances. The absences of forwards Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Zakaria Eddahchouri may be part of the problem. Deportivo’s chance creation has been better than its recent results suggest.

Deportivo opened its Copa del Rey campaign with a 3-0 win over Auriense on Thursday. Hidalgo gave several reserves playing time, allowing most regular starters to avoid the extra workload. Aubameyang has resumed some team training following surgery but is not yet taking part fully. Eddahchouri and Marc Casadó also completed part of a team session on October 30, their first since their injuries, before continuing their individual rehabilitation. Neither is ready for a full workload. Defender Bright Ede remains on a separate recovery program.

Osasuna Has Struggled Away From Home

Osasuna has won three of its first 10 league matches and conceded 20 goals. Its away record is particularly poor: four losses in five matches, with 17 goals conceded, an average of 3.4 per game. Osasuna has scored six goals on the road. After a 5-2 loss to Betis, the team beat Racing 2-0 before losing 2-0 to Sevilla. Manager Jagoba Arrasate’s return has yet to bring consistency, especially away from home.

Osasuna beat regional-league side Atlético Calatayud 6-0 in the Copa del Rey on Thursday. Three players remain out of team training. Aimar Oroz is recovering from a recurrence of a hamstring injury. Jorge Herrando and Romain Del Castillo are also rehabilitating muscle injuries.

Deportivo La Coruña vs Osasuna Prediction: Deportivo La Coruña to Win at 2.22

Main prediction: Deportivo has lost only one of its five league matches at the Riazor this season. Its recent results also understate its performances: Hidalgo’s side has had the higher xG in each of its last four league games, despite struggling to convert chances. Osasuna, meanwhile, has lost four of five La Liga away matches and conceded 17 goals in those games. That defensive record gives the hosts an opportunity to turn their chances into three points. The pick is Deportivo La Coruña to win at 2.22.

Goals prediction: Osasuna has conceded in all five league away matches but failed to score in only two: against Sevilla (0-2) and Atlético (0-4). It scored twice against Alavés (2-5), Celta (2-1) and Betis (2-5). Ante Budimir has seven La Liga goals. Deportivo has failed to score in only two of its 10 league games, though it has yet to keep a clean sheet. Both teams to score at 1.95 is worth considering.
