Deportivo La Coruna are back in La Liga for the first time since 2017/18, and they are not treating it like a sightseeing trip. Eight points from four games, a stunning win over Villarreal already in the bag, and now a trip to the capital to face a Getafe side that will be desperate to get their season moving in the right direction. This is exactly the kind of fixture that tells you something real about a promoted club. Are Deportivo the genuine article, or will the harsh realities of top flight football catch up with them on a Sunday evening in Madrid?

Getafe, sitting 15th with four points, need a result. Jose Bordalas is a manager who knows how to grind, how to make life uncomfortable for the opposition, and how to set a team up that is deeply unpleasant to play against. His side have Conference League football on the horizon in October as well, so there is no shortage of pressure building. A home win here would do a lot to calm the mood around the club.

Getafe vs Deportivo La Coruna Match Details

The game kicks off at 5:30pm on Sunday 13th September 2026 at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez in Getafe. It is a La Liga fixture, matchday five of the 2026/27 season, and the first meeting between these two clubs in over eight years.

Team News

Getafe are dealing with a few issues heading into this one. Zaid Romero misses out through suspension after picking up a red card in the draw with Celta Vigo, which is a significant blow to the defensive shape. Beyond that, there is a small injury list to contend with.

• Juanmi: out through injury
• Abdel Abqar: out through injury
• Francho: out through injury
• Christantus Uche: out through injury
• Martin Satriano: doubt, but hopeful of being fit to start

Deportivo have a more positive team news picture. Adria Altimira returns from suspension and comes back into the squad. The one concern is Noe Carrillo, who remains sidelined with a muscular problem. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang continues up front after an extraordinary start to the campaign, and Bil Nsongo is expected to keep his place alongside him.

Predicted Lineups

Bordalas will likely set Getafe up in a shape that prioritises defensive structure, especially with Romero absent. Enes Unal carries the attacking responsibility, with Satriano expected to shake off his knock and partner him if he is passed fit. The midfield trio of Terrats, Mangala and Martin will be tasked with controlling the tempo and protecting the back four.

Getafe: Soria; A Garcia, Gudelj, Djene, Davinchi, Mojica; Terrats, Mangala, Martin; Unal, Satriano

Antonio Hidalgo is unlikely to change a great deal from the side that beat Villarreal. Aubameyang and Nsongo form a front two that has been electric in the early weeks, with Cruz, Soriano, Amatucci and Rodriguez providing the platform behind them. Deportivo look compact and dangerous on the break, which suits an away game at a side that will try to sit deep and frustrate.

Deportivo La Coruna: Roman; Navarro, Noubi, Gimenez, Quagliata; Cruz, Soriano, Amatucci, Rodriguez; Nsongo, Aubameyang

Recent Form

Getafe’s start to the season has been perfectly adequate without setting any pulses racing. One win, one draw and two defeats from four league games is the kind of return that keeps you in mid table but does not inspire confidence. The draw with Celta last weekend was a reasonable result, but the sending off of Romero clouds it somewhat. They did come through their Conference League qualifying campaign, seeing off Partizan 4-3 on aggregate, which shows there is quality in this squad when it clicks. The issue is consistency, and Bordalas will know that a run of winnable fixtures coming up including Real Betis, Malaga and Barcelona after this one means there is no room to keep dropping points at home.

Deportivo, on the other hand, have been a breath of fresh air. Two wins and two draws in La Liga, eight points from a possible twelve, and currently sitting fifth in the table just one point behind Real Madrid in third. For a club that has spent time in the third tier since last being in the top flight back in 2017/18, that is remarkable. The victory over Villarreal is the headline result, a 3-2 win against a Champions League side that will have turned heads across Spain. Aubameyang is the obvious focal point with four goals and two assists already, but Hidalgo has clearly built a side that functions as a unit rather than relying entirely on one individual.

The contrast in momentum is stark. Deportivo are riding a wave and will arrive at the Coliseum with genuine belief that they can extend their unbeaten run. Getafe will be counting on their home advantage and the Bordalas effect to drag a performance out of their players when it matters most.

Head-to-Head Record

These two clubs have not met since February 2018, when Getafe ran out 3-0 winners. That is a long gap between fixtures, largely because Deportivo spent several seasons outside the top flight entirely. Across all 22 meetings in their history, Getafe hold a slight edge with eight wins to Deportivo’s seven, so there is nothing dramatically one sided about this rivalry when you zoom out. That said, Getafe’s home form against Deportivo in their most recent encounter was convincing, and Bordalas will be hoping to draw on that kind of defensive solidity again this weekend.

Key Stats

• Aubameyang has scored four goals and registered two assists in just four La Liga appearances this season, an outstanding return for a striker of his experience
• Enes Unal has netted three times in six appearances for Getafe across all competitions, making him the home side’s primary attacking threat
• Deportivo are unbeaten in La Liga this season with two wins and two draws, while Getafe have lost two of their four league games

Getafe vs Deportivo La Coruna Betting Tips

This one sets up as a tight, low scoring affair. Bordalas teams are built to be hard to break down, and Deportivo are a well organised side themselves. The goals are likely to come, but this does not feel like a game that will run away from either team. Aubameyang is the standout talent on the pitch and the most obvious route into the goalscorer markets, while the overall shape of the game leans towards goals in the low to mid range and a competitive, slightly feisty contest.

Both Teams To Score (BTTS) Prediction

Yes. Deportivo have the firepower to cause problems at any level, and Getafe are capable of finding the net through Unal even when their overall play is patchy. Both teams to score looks a reasonable shout in a game where neither defence is operating at full strength.

Over & Under Goals Prediction

Under 2.5 goals. Bordalas will set up to be compact and difficult, and Deportivo are unlikely to open the game up unnecessarily on the road. A 1-1 or a narrow victory for either side feels like the most likely outcome, which keeps this comfortably under the 2.5 threshold.

Correct Score Prediction

1-1. Deportivo have the quality to get something from this game, and Getafe have enough at home to avoid defeat, particularly with Unal in the sort of form he is in. A draw suits both sides in different ways and feels like the natural landing point for this one.

First Goalscorer Prediction

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Four goals in four league games says everything you need to know. He is sharp, he is confident, and he has the kind of predatory instinct that makes him dangerous regardless of the opponent. He is the standout first goalscorer pick in this fixture by some distance.

Corners Prediction

Under 9.5 corners. Getafe under Bordalas tend to be direct and aggressive rather than patient and possession based, which limits the amount of set piece recycling that inflates corner counts. Deportivo are not a team that overloads wide areas to an extreme degree. Expect a moderate total rather than a high one.

Cards Prediction

Over 3.5 cards. Bordalas sides are famously physical and combative, and Deportivo will not roll over. A Getafe home game in La Liga is rarely a gentle Sunday stroll, and with some competitive tension in this fixture as the home side chase a result they badly need, the referee will have work to do. Expect bookings to mount across both teams.

Bet Builder Tip

Combine Aubameyang to score anytime, both teams to score and under 2.5 goals. It is a slightly tricky combination but it holds together logically: Aubameyang finds the net, Getafe respond through Unal or another outlet, but the game does not spiral into a high scoring affair because the defensive structures on both sides keep a lid on it.

Final Match Prediction

Deportivo La Coruna have been one of the stories of the early season and they deserve their place in the top half of the table. However, Getafe at home under Bordalas is a tough assignment for any team, promoted or otherwise. The suspension of Romero gives Deportivo’s attackers a slightly more inviting target, but the home side have enough to stay in this game and nick something from it.

Getafe 1-1 Deportivo La Coruna. A point each, Aubameyang gets on the scoresheet again, and the debate about whether Deportivo can genuinely compete at this level runs all the way to October.
