Atletico Madrid have enjoyed a dominant period, remaining undefeated across all their recent matches with five victories and a single draw. Their scoring has been particularly potent in the second half of matches, and they have kept three clean sheets during this stretch, including a victory against Real Madrid and a Champions League win over Manchester United. Conversely, Deportivo La Coruna have found results harder to come by, failing to secure a win in any of their recent matches while recording three draws and three losses. Their defensive record has been tested throughout this period, as they have not managed a single clean sheet in those six outings, most recently playing out a draw against Levante.

There is little history between these two sides on our record, with only one meeting in January 2026, which Atletico Madrid won by a single goal.

  • Atletico Madrid have been prolific in the second half of matches, scoring eight goals while conceding only one in that period across their recent fixtures.
  • Deportivo La Coruna have struggled to keep clean sheets, failing to prevent their opponents from scoring in every one of their listed recent matches.
  • Atletico Madrid maintain a strong home presence, remaining undefeated in their recent matches at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano.
  • Deportivo La Coruna have not recorded a win in their recent away matches since their victory against Villarreal in September.

Atletico Madrid hold a strong advantage given their recent form and current league standing, having secured seven wins from their nine matches this season. With a solid defensive record and the ability to find late goals, they appear well-positioned against a Deportivo La Coruna side that has struggled to find consistency. While Deportivo La Coruna will look to improve their results, the overall form of the home side suggests they are likely to control the flow of this match.

No absences were reported for either side in this fixture.
