It is a fixture that neither club can afford to treat lightly, and recent form on both sides gives it an edge of uncertainty.

Form guide

Deportivo La Coruña’s most recent outing was a 3-0 win away to Auriense in the Copa del Rey on 29 October. Before that, five days earlier, they lost 0-1 away to Atlético Madrid in La Liga, and eight days before that they drew 1-1 at home to Levante.

Across all five matches, Deportivo have won once, drawn twice and lost twice, scoring seven and conceding six. In the two home games among their last five, they have not won — two draws, scoring two and conceding two, with no clean sheet. In the three away games among those five, they have won once and lost twice, scoring five and conceding four. Deportivo La Coruña’s La Liga record across those four games shows two draws and two defeats, with four scored and six conceded. In the league this season Deportivo have won two of ten, drawn five and lost three, scoring and conceding 13 goals apiece.

Osasuna’s last game was also on 29 October: a 6-0 Copa del Rey win away to Atletico Calatayud. Three days before that, they lost 0-2 away to Sevilla in La Liga. Eight days earlier they beat Racing Santander 2-0 at home, and seven days before that they lost 2-5 away to Real Betis. Their fifth most recent game was a 1-1 home draw with Rayo Vallecano on 19 September. Across those five matches, Osasuna have won twice, drawn once and lost twice, scoring 11 and conceding eight, with two clean sheets.

In the three away games among those five, they have won once and lost twice, scoring eight and conceding seven.

Head to head

The two clubs have met five times in recent competitive seasons, with Deportivo La Coruña winning two, Osasuna winning two and one match drawn. The most recent fixture, on 16 December 2021, was a Copa del Rey match at Deportivo’s ground that Osasuna won 2-1. Before that, on 13 April 2019, Osasuna beat Deportivo 2-1 in a Segunda División match at Osasuna’s ground. Deportivo won 2-0 at home to Osasuna in a Segunda División meeting on 24 November 2018. The two previous meetings were both La Liga games: a 2-2 draw at Osasuna’s ground on 30 April 2017, and a 2-0 win for Deportivo at home on 18 December 2016. Both teams scored in three of the five meetings, and the five games produced 14 goals in total.

Team news

Deportivo La Coruña are without four players for this match. Aubameyang is ruled out with a knee injury, and Casadó misses out with a collarbone injury. Eddahchouri is also ruled out with a wrist injury, and Ede misses the game with a hamstring injury.

What to watch

Deportivo's home league record this season shows one win, three draws and one defeat from five games, scoring 1.20 per game and conceding 1.00 per game.

Osasuna's away league record this season is a concern: one win, no draws and four defeats in five away games, conceding at 3.40 per game. Osasuna's average xG across their last four matches is 1.69, with an average xG against of 1.35 — figures that sit alongside a league campaign in which they have already let in 20 goals in ten games. The bookmakers make Deportivo La Coruña a 43% chance to win and Osasuna a 27% chance, with a draw at 29%.

Both sides had four days of rest after their respective Copa del Rey matches on 29 October. The bookmakers put under 2.5 goals as a 57% chance, making a tight match the more likely outcome, while both teams scoring is almost evenly poised at 49%.
