Atlético Madrid's form before this match
Atlético have taken 16 points from their last six, winning five and drawing one. They have scored 12 and conceded three in those games, with three clean sheets, and they have not conceded two or more in any of the six. At home across that run they have won three from three.
The last of the six was a 1-1 draw away to VfB Stuttgart in the UEFA Champions League, four days before this match. Before that came a 1-0 win away to Espanyol, a 2-0 home win over Manchester United and a 2-1 win away to Deportivo Alavés. The 2-1 home win over Real Madrid and a 4-0 defeat of Osasuna sit at the far end of the run.
Deportivo de A Coruña's form before this match
Three points from six. Deportivo have won none of them, drawing three and losing three, and they have been outscored 7-11 over the set.
Their most recent match was a 1-1 home draw with Levante UD, eight days before this one. The two before that were a 2-3 defeat away to Real Sociedad and a 1-3 home loss to FC Porto in a friendly, with a 2-2 draw at Penafiel also a friendly. The competitive evidence is thin and it is not good: no clean sheets in six, two or more conceded in three of them, and no home win in four.
The one thing in Deportivo's favour
Both sides have scored in five of Deportivo's last six matches, and they have failed to score only once. They concede, but they rarely go quiet. Three of their six have had three or more goals in them.
Atlético's recent scoring has also narrowed. They managed 2 or more in four of six, yet their last two produced one goal apiece, against Espanyol and Stuttgart.
Team news
Atlético are without club captain Koke and Cristian Romero, while Deportivo have Marc Casado, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Bright Ede, the last with a hamstring injury, all unavailable, and key winger Yeremay Hernández is a doubt, according to The Stats Zone. Antonio Hidalgo's side are also missing Zakaria Eddahchouri, and Lorenzo Amatucci is suspended after his red card against Real Sociedad, per Sports Mole. Diego Simeone remains Atlético's head coach, as Wikipedia's 2026-27 season page records.
How the two records line up
A side that has not conceded twice in six matches is meeting a side that has not shut anyone out in six. Atlético have won every home game in the run; Deportivo have won nothing anywhere. If this stays close it will be because Atlético settle for one goal again rather than because Deportivo defend their way to a point.
Atlético Madrid vs Deportivo de A Coruña prediction
Atlético Madrid should beat Deportivo de A Coruña in LaLiga at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on Saturday 24 October 2026, and our prediction is a 2-0 home win. Atlético's 16 points from six and three clean sheets in that stretch are the firmest numbers in this fixture, and their perfect home record across the run backs them. Deportivo have gone six without a clean sheet and without a win, and three points from six is not a platform for anything in Madrid. The one reservation is Atlético's single goal in each of their last two.
Our prediction: Atlético Madrid 2-0 Deportivo de A Coruña
