Deportivo A Coruña vs Osasuna: preview
We have the predictions for the match between Deportivo and Osasuna in the context of the eleventh round of the Spanish league for the 2026/27 season.
"Deportivo" is in 11th place, staying three points clear of the relegation zone. "Osasuna" is in 12th, trailing "Deportivo" on secondary criteria.
Key points
Deportivo A Coruña
"Deportivo" is in order, but without results. They have not won in six matches. Example streaks: three losses and three draws. They finished with the goal achieved at the start of the season: only three points above the relegation zone. Moreover, in five of six games the "blancos y azules" outperformed their opponents in xG, victory is close, but execution and luck are missing. In the latter part of the previous round’s match against "Atlético" (0:1) "Deportivo" could level, but Burgos Sánchez missed a clear goal. The reason for the failures is already psychological: the team needs to regain confidence. Perhaps the win in the Copa del Rey against "Aurizola" (3:0) will help.
2. Obamenang and Casado remain injured
Pierre‑Emerick Obamenang, Mark Casado and Zakaria Eddahchuri had a recovery training session with the team, then returned to their rehabilitation programs: they will be back soon, but are not yet ready. Obamenang scored five of the team’s 13 goals, contributing eight points – a heavy loss. Bright Ede remains unavailable due to a muscle injury. But there is good news: Noé Carrillo recovered and played 60 minutes in the cup match. The squad rested in the cup, so "Deportivo" will be rested for the match against "Osasuna".
3. "Deportivo" fights for every point
"Deportivo" does not win, but mentally it is an incredibly strong team: no match was lost by a single goal. With "Atlético" (0:1) there was a 100 % chance to equalise, with "Real Sociedad" (2:3) the "blancos y azules" lost by three goals, but recovered two and could have scored the third. And with "Sevilla" (0:1) from minute 59 they played in the disadvantage. If "Deportivo" scores first (four matches), it guarantees at least a point (a win and three draws). Three times the "blancos y azules" lost first, but then recovered and took the match to a draw (in the match against "Villarreal" they recovered twice).
Wing
1. "Osasuna" wins after Arrascaeta’s appointment
Luis Miguel Ramis failed, and "Osasuna"’s management could not continue with the resignation as it did with Alessio Liscio last season. The coaching reshuffle happened: in "Osasuna" the legendary Arrascaeta Arrascaeta returned to the club. Good start. The Pamplones broke the five‑match winless streak in La Liga, beating "Racing", and also reached the round of 16 in the Copa del Rey, with the reserve squad defeating "Atlético de Calatayud" (6:0) away. Yes, there was a home loss to "Sevilla" (0:2), but "Osasuna" traditionally plays poorly at home.
2. In "Osasuna"’s squad there are three losses
Imar Oros – key midfielder for "Osasuna" last season. Jorge Erando – main central defender at the start of the current season. The winger Romen del Castillo is one of the new summer signings, called to reinforce "Osasuna"’s attack. The three will not play against "Deportivo" due to injuries, although the loss of Erando is compensated by the return of Enzo Boyomo to the core. In attack, there are not enough options – Ante Budimir, the Croat, carries the load: he scored seven of the team’s ten goals in La Liga, and no one else stood out more than once.
3. "Osasuna" is desperate away
At home "Osasuna" lost only one match, but away after the win in the first round against "Celta" (2:1) only failures: four consecutive defeats, only four goals scored (the Pamplones already gave up with a minimum of two goals) and 16 goals conceded. After the loss to "Sevilla" problems were discussed. Enzo Boyomo: "We want to change our away game. So far we have not achieved it." The last three trips to "Deportivo" ended in defeats, although the last was in 2018.
