Atletico Madrid – Deportivo La Coruna

Atletico Madrid host Deportivo La Coruna at the Metropolitano Stadium with the home side perched in second place on 22 points, having amassed seven wins, a draw and a single loss while boasting a 19‑8 goal difference. Deportivo sit ninth, sitting on 11 points from two victories, five draws and two defeats, and a modest +1 margin from 13 scored and 12 conceded. The clash pits a high‑scoring, title‑challenging outfit against a mid‑table side that has struggled to convert draws into wins. If Atletico can maintain the sharpness that has seen them dominate the league so far, they will look to widen the gap, while Deportivo will aim to close the distance and climb out of the lower half of the table.
