Real Sociedad's form has been rockier. Three wins and three losses in their last seven, with the defeats coming by some distance: 0-3 at home to Atletico Madrid and 1-4 away at Real Madrid. There's goal-scoring ability there against weaker sides, but the defensive lapses have been costly.

Deportivo's steadier league form contrasts with Real Sociedad's more erratic results.

Comparative Team Statistics: Real Sociedad vs Deportivo La Coruna

A history that predates this pair of squads

These two have met plenty of times before, mostly between 2010 and 2018, with some lopsided scorelines in there including a 5-0 and a 5-1. None of that tells us much about the teams as they stand now, given how long it's been since they last played each other.

Level on points, different pictures

Both teams have ten points from seven games, Deportivo seventh and Real Sociedad eighth. Look past the points total, though, and the goal difference tells a fuller story: Deportivo sit at plus-two, having conceded only eight, while Real Sociedad are at minus-four having shipped thirteen already.

Where the goals might come from

Aubameyang has been Deportivo's main source of goals this season, with five in seven appearances, so their attacking threat is fairly concentrated in one man. Real Sociedad's scoring has been more spread out, with Sučić leading their列表 at three and Ochieng chipping in with assists from midfield.

Deportivo's league games have generally been tighter affairs, averaging around two and a half goals in total, while Real Sociedad's matches have tended to be a bit more open. That points to a game that could go either way on goals, even if the overall pattern favours a tighter contest given Deportivo's defensive discipline.
