Deportivo de A Coruna vs Elche Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 17th August 2026

Elche face a daunting first assignment in the LaLiga when they visit the title favourites Deportivo de A Coruna on the opening day of the new campaign.

We expect to see some solid dedication from both Deportivo de A Coruna and Elche as starting a season with a defeat is an undesirable outcome for anyone's morale.

Deportivo de A Coruna only average a modest 1.3 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 13 goals. They also conceded 17 for an average of 1.7 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring two times.

Elche scored 13 goals, conceded 12 and managed two clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Deportivo de A Coruna lost to 4-0 Elche in their last encounter. This served as payback for the 1-0 win, which Deportivo de A Coruna dished out the match before that.

Deportivo de A Coruna vs Elche Prediction

Deportivo de A Coruna Form

Deportivo de A Coruna hope to get back to winning ways after first beating FC Andorra by 2-1, before winning 0-2 against Real Valladolid. The streak ended in a recent 1-2 defeat against Las Palmas. Deportivo de A Coruna only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at Abanca-Riazor in the LaLiga. They also drew three and lost two of these six encounters, in which they scored nine and conceded 12 goals.

Elche Form

In their last three matches, Elche lost 2-1 against Real Betis, won 1-0 against Getafe, and drew 1-1 with Girona. Elche managed to win just once in their past six away games in the LaLiga. On top of winning once they also drew one as well as losing four, while scoring 12 time and letting in six.

They usually throw caution to the wind, when clashing with each other, and with both Deportivo de A Coruna and Elche scoring freely over the past weeks, we expect a highly entertaining match.
