Atletico Madrid vs Deportivo La Coruna prediction — Saturday night at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano pits second-placed Atlético Madrid against newly promoted Deportivo La Coruña in a LaLiga clash that looks one-sided on paper. Atlético are chasing a sixth straight league win, and victory would cut the gap on leaders Barcelona, who face Real Madrid in El Clásico on Sunday.
Our Atletico Madrid vs Deportivo La Coruna prediction backs the hosts to grind out another narrow win, with local kickoff at 21:00 CEST — 20:00 WAT. Second-placed Atlético Madrid sit on 22 points from 9 games (7-1-1), while mid-table Deportivo have 11 points from 9 games in their first top-flight season since promotion. The visitors are winless in five league games, have conceded in eight straight LaLiga matches and are missing their top scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
