Predictions & Betting Tips

Relegation six-pointer awaits in Aragon

Real Zaragoza will be going for the win when they host Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday in a matchup that could have a big impact on the battle for survival in LaLiga 2. This Real Zaragoza vs Deportivo La Coruna prediction is particularly important given how close both teams are to the relegation zone. Gabi, who took over as manager in March 2025, has brought a new energy to the club and some tactical tweaks that have steadied the ship at the most crucial time of the season. The Aragonese side have won six, drawn seven and lost seven of their 20 home games in LaLiga 2 this season, but they are improving at home, having won one and tied the other of their two most recent games at La Romareda. Deportivo’s form has dipped of late with only one win and one draw in their last 5 LaLiga 2 games, three of which have been losses. Given these difficulties, our Real Zaragoza vs Deportivo La Coruna preview suggests both teams will be desperate for all three points. Mario Gibanel has managed Deportivo La Coruna since late October 2024, but recent results suggest he’s still searching for the right formula.

Direct, pragmatic styles should lead to an open game

Real Zaragoza are favorites at -158 to Deportivo’s +470, but the visitors have travelled well this term, winning seven, drawing six and losing seven of their 20 away games in LaLiga 2. The bookmakers may have this the wrong way around, but home advantage and better recent home results mean Zaragoza are the more likely winners. These two teams play direct, pragmatic soccer, but both have players that can play the ball on the ground and can cause problems on the counter-attack. Marc Aguado has been the conductor for Zaragoza’s build-up play this term, while Norwegian midfielder Henrik Nordengen has been a constant influence with his work ethic and ability to provide assists from midfield. Our Real Zaragoza vs Deportivo La Coruna prediction takes into account the attacking threats from both teams. Mario Soberon has led the line for Zaragoza with 10 goals in 23 LaLiga 2 appearances, while Yeremay Hernandez has been a reliable forward for Deportivo with 15 goals in 37 appearances, three of which have come in his last five.

Deportivo’s defence is leaky on the road

Both teams could score in this game, but it’s more likely to be Zaragoza getting the win as they enter the game as favourites with home-field advantage. For those searching for Real Zaragoza vs Deportivo La Coruna betting tips, it's worth noting Zaragoza's recent home record and Deportivo’s defensive vulnerabilities. A lack of defensive solidity on both sides should lead to an end-to-end matchup, but Deportivo’s record of 26 goals conceded on the road in LaLiga 2 this year is a concern. French centre-back Mathieu Peybernes has provided some experience and stability for an at times shaky Zaragoza back four, while Deportivo's Pablo Martinez has brought leadership and aerial ability to a team that is vulnerable to aerial attacks, particularly from set pieces. To sum up, the Real Zaragoza vs Deportivo La Coruna prediction is for a lively game given both sides have been involved in some high-scoring encounters recently. So we’re going to take the value in the Both Teams to Score bet here because both sides have been involved in some lively games lately.
