Real Sociedad vs Deportivo La Coruña prediction

THE FORECAST

Deportivo La Coruna's superior defensive record (1.1 GA per game, no clean sheets but solid overall) and better goals-against ratio give them a clear edge over a Real Sociedad side that has lost three consecutive home matches and is severely depleted by injuries (ten players out including Aramburu, Fort, and Odriozola). Both sides have equal rest (9 days) but Sociedad face a Europa League match just four days after this fixture, raising rotation risk, while Deportivo's next game is five days away in La Liga. The warm conditions (up to 31°C) are manageable for both sides, and with the scores and standings level on points, the away side's defensive solidity and momentum (WW last two) tips the balance toward a narrow Deportivo victory.
