Bet with Freshbet →Our tip for Espanyol vs Deportivo La Coruña (La Liga, 7 November 2026, 15:15): Espanyol win at odds of 2.40. The bookmakers' odds give Espanyol 39%, the draw 29% and Deportivo La Coruña 31%.
Espanyol vs Deportivo La Coruña Prediction: Espanyol to Win
Our preferred Espanyol vs Deportivo La Coruña bet is the home win at 2.40. Saturday afternoon at the RCDE Stadium pairs two sides coming off impressive league victories, but the history of this fixture points firmly one way: Espanyol are unbeaten against Deportivo since 2015, and the Galicians have not won away to the Pericos since June 2007.
Espanyol's 1-0 win at Villarreal last weekend – Leandro Cabrera's second‑half strike – was the perfect start to the Eder Sarabia era, and new‑manager momentum at home is a powerful thing. The hosts sit 14th but have the look of a side turning a corner after a run of three straight defeats.
Deportivo, newly promoted and sitting eighth, deserve respect: they beat Osasuna 2-1 last time out and have lost only three times all season. But their away record in this fixture is generations of frustration, and the RCDE crowd will sense an opportunity before the international break.
With Roberto Fernandez, seven goals this season, leading the hosts' attack and Pierre‑Emerick Aubameyang only fit enough for the visitors' bench, the edge lies with Espanyol. Home win at 2.40 is the value play.

We work out this estimate from the odds of several bookmakers once their margin has been removed. No outcome is ever certain.
Espanyol vs Deportivo La Coruña Betting Odds and Best Markets
Espanyol are priced at 2.40 for the home win – a number that respects Deportivo's strong start to life back in the top flight but underrates this fixture's history. The draw and the away win both trade shorter than the head‑to‑head record suggests they should, given Deportivo's 19‑year wait for a league win at this ground.
Fernandez is the standout in the anytime scorer market for the hosts, while Aubameyang, back from injury with five goals in eight appearances, is expected to feature from the bench for the visitors. Over 2.5 goals has appeal after Espanyol's recent high‑scoring cup tie, but our preference is the home win at 2.40.

In What Form Are Espanyol and Deportivo La Coruña Coming Into the Match?
Espanyol have three wins, two draws and six defeats from 11 league games, leaving them 14th on 11 points. The 4-3 Copa del Rey shock at fourth‑tier Sestao was a low point, but the response – a clean‑sheet victory away at Villarreal – suggests Sarabia already has the group's attention.
Deportivo are eighth with 14 points from three wins, five draws and three defeats. Antonio Hidalgo's side followed a 3-0 cup win over Auriense by beating Osasuna 2-1, and they have lost only once in their last six in all competitions. The draw has been their signature result, though – five already – and this is a ground where history weighs heavily on them.

Espanyol vs Deportivo La Coruña: Key Pre‑Match Statistics
Espanyol are unbeaten in the last five meetings with Deportivo, winning three and drawing two, and have not lost this fixture since September 2015. At the RCDE Stadium the pattern is even stronger: Deportivo's last away win in this matchup came in June 2007.
Deportivo's 15 league goals against Espanyol's 13 show how little separates the attacks; the difference is at home, where Espanyol have historically dominated this pairing. Cabrera's winner at Villarreal was Espanyol's first clean‑sheet victory of the season – momentum matters.

All matchesEspanyol vs Deportivo La Coruña H2H History
Espanyol narrowly lead the overall head‑to‑head with 39 wins to Deportivo's 35. The last meeting, in February 2018, finished goalless, but Espanyol took the three previous encounters before that.
Nearly two decades have passed since Deportivo last won away to Espanyol, and only one of the last five meetings has gone the visitors' way – none, in fact, since 2015. Few fixtures in this round carry such a lopsided modern history.
Espanyol vs Deportivo La Coruña Team News: Injuries, Suspensions and Key Players
Espanyol have a full squad available. With this being Sarabia's first match officially in charge, continuity is likely after the Villarreal performance, and Roberto Fernandez continues as the focal point of the attack.
Deportivo also have a full squad. Aubameyang is back in the squad after six games out and made the bench against Osasuna, but with Bil Nsongo scoring twice in his last three, the veteran is again likely to be held in reserve. Adama Traore also offers impact from the bench. Final line‑ups are confirmed an hour before kick‑off.
