Deportivo de La Coruña 2026/27 La Liga Preview
Promoted back to the top flight, Deportivo de La Coruña have made a composed start. Antonio Hidalgo’s side are seventh with 10 points from seven, and four of those games have ended level – including a 1-1 at home to Real Betis and a 1-1 at Getafe.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been the signing that made the difference, with five of the side’s 10 goals. Luismi Cruz supplies from the right with 17 corners, and Leo Román has made 23 saves in goal, though he is still waiting for a first clean sheet of the campaign.
Survival is the stated aim for a club back among the elite after a long absence, and a top-half position after seven games is comfortably ahead of schedule. Keeping Aubameyang fit and finding a second reliable scorer will shape how comfortable the season becomes.
