Real Sociedad vs Deportivo La Coruna Prediction

Real Sociedad host Deportivo La Coruna on 11 October 2026 at 17:15 in La Liga Matchday 8. The Basques arrive off a 3-2 win over Valencia and will push their attacking style against a Deportivo side weakened by injury. Orri Oskarsson serves a suspension, so Mikel Oyarzabal leads the line with Takefusa Kubo back from Japan duty. Deportivo lose Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to a knee injury suffered against Real Betis, a significant blow to their attacking threat, while Marc Casado also misses out. The visitors drew 1-1 with Betis despite registering 24 attempts and 2.09 xG, showing they can create chances even without their star striker.

Form and H2H

Real Sociedad have won just 30% of their last 10 matches, a concerning run for a home side. Their home scoring average sits at only 0.75 goals per game, suggesting they struggle to convert chances at Anoeta. Deportivo showed resilience in their last outing, holding Betis to a draw and generating significant shot volume. The Galicians carry an 80% away BTTS rate into this fixture, indicating they score in most road matches despite their injury troubles.

Best Bet

Real Sociedad 2-1 Deportivo. The hosts have home advantage and face an opponent missing their primary striker. Oyarzabal should lead a Real Sociedad attack that, despite recent inconsistency, will find space against a Deportivo defence stretched by injuries. At 1xBet, a home win pays 1.69.

Odds to Watch

Real Sociedad's home record and Deportivo's attacking profile suggest goals at both ends. Over 1.5 goals offers value given Deportivo's away BTTS tendency and Real Sociedad's attacking intent. Both Teams to Score sits at a reasonable price across the market. A home win with both teams scoring is the most likely outcome in a match where Real Sociedad should control possession but Deportivo will threaten on the break. At 1xBet, the draw is 4.08 and Deportivo to win is 5.54.
