Deportivo vs Sevilla – News and Probable Lineups

Deportivo La Coruna aims to extend their unbeaten start in La Liga when they face Sevilla on Wednesday evening.

The home team sits sixth in the La Liga standings, having secured nine points from five games, while Sevilla has also made a solid beginning, currently positioned fifth with 10 points.

Match overview

Deportivo finished in second place in last season’s Segunda Division, marking their return to the top tier for the first time since the 2017-18 season.

Under the management of Antonio Hidalgo, the team has had a strong start, winning two and drawing three of their five fixtures for a total of nine points, placing them in sixth position.

The Blue and Whites have recorded seven points in their last three matches, triumphing over both Valencia and Villarreal before settling for a draw against Getafe last time out.

Deportivo famously won the La Liga title in the 1999-2000 season and appear to be a squad that can maintain their position in Spain’s top division this year.

The last time Deportivo triumphed over Sevilla was in January 2010, although their last encounter in the La Liga concluded in a goalless draw in April 2018.

Sevilla remains unbeaten in their last 13 encounters against Deportivo in La Liga, and Los Nervionenses have made a commendable start, accumulating 10 points from five games, placing them fifth in the league.

The team, managed by Luis Garcia Plaza, boasts a record of three wins, one draw, and one loss from their five games, scoring nine goals while conceding six.

Sevilla heads into this match after a narrow 1-0 victory against Valencia, with Juan Iglesias netting the solitary goal late in the game.

Last season, Los Nervionenses finished in 13th place in the top flight and have not managed to reclaim a Champions League spot since the 2021-22 campaign.

However, they have shown several promising signs early in the current season.

Team News

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is in exceptional form for Deportivo this season, having scored five times and provided two assists in five appearances, and he is expected to start once more.

Head coach Hidalgo might opt for an unchanged lineup for this fixture, keeping Marc Casado and Jose Maria Gimenez in their respective roles.

Nevertheless, Yeremay Hernandez was impressive coming off the bench against Getafe and could make his way into the starting team in place of Bil Nsongo.

Sevilla will again be without Ruben Vargas, who is sidelined due to injury, but Arouna Sangante is set to return to the squad after completing his suspension.

Head coach Garcia Plaza may consider making a few adjustments in the attacking third, potentially bringing in Robbie Ure and Chidera Ejuke.

However, Ivan Romero is likely to retain his position in the starting lineup.

Deportivo La Coruna probable starting XI:

Roman; Navarro, Noubi, Gimenez, Quagliata; Married; Cruz Luismi, Amatucci, Soriano; Hernandez, Aubameyang

Sevilla probable starting XI:

Vlachodimos; Iglesias, Castrín, Salas, Suazo; Agoume, Fofana; Sierra, Romero, Ejuke; ure

Deportivo has proven remarkably tough to defeat this season, and it is anticipated that the hosts will be capable of securing at least a point against a well-performing Sevilla side in this match.
