Confidence72%

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.
