Preview

Match preview

Villarreal contest their first home match of the La Liga season after opening their campaign with three consecutive away fixtures. The Yellow Submarine currently occupy 15th place with two points, having earned high-scoring 2-2 draws against Racing Santander and Atletico Madrid before suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat at Alaves.

Deportivo La Coruna enter this clash in strong form and sit eighth in the standings with five points from their opening three fixtures. An unbeaten run featuring 1-1 draws against Elche and Malaga was bolstered by a convincing 3-1 victory over Valencia in their most recent league outing.

With both sides showing consistent goalmouth action at both ends of the pitch and neither side recording a clean sheet thus far, this encounter presents favorable conditions for chances on both sides.

Confidence

Both teams enter this fixture with a zero percent clean sheet record across their first three matches of the season. Deportivo La Coruna have scored in every fixture so far, tallying five goals in three games with forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in strong form with three goals. Villarreal have also shown offensive potency, scoring four goals across two difficult away matches before being shut out at Alaves, while conceding an average of 1.7 goals per game. Given the defensive concessions on both sides and Deportivo's consistent scoring run, both teams finding the net represents a highly probable outcome.
