Atletico Madrid vs Deportivo La Coruna Preview, Prediction & Odds - La Liga

Atletico Madrid face Deportivo La Coruna in La Liga on 24 October 2026, with the prediction model favouring Atletico Madrid at a 50% win probability. Diego Simeone’s side have won five successive league matches after the early-September defeat by Athletic Bilbao, moving to seven wins, one draw and one loss from nine games and keeping the pressure on Barcelona at the top. Deportivo have drawn five of their nine fixtures, including a 1-1 result against Levante, and sit ninth after two wins, five draws and two defeats. The visitors need a strong away display against a title challenger, while Atletico can gain ground with Barcelona facing Real Madrid. Midweek’s 1-1 draw with Stuttgart also gives the hosts a European recovery storyline.

Both teams most frequently use a 4-4-2, although Deportivo have also used 4-2-3-1 three times and Atletico have tried 4-1-4-1 once. Atletico’s recent attacking figures are stronger, producing 2.4 goals per game across their last five compared with Deportivo’s 1.0, while their defensive records show 0.4 conceded per game against 1.4. Across the season, the contrast remains clear: Atletico have scored 19 and conceded eight, whereas Deportivo have scored 13 and conceded 12. Atletico’s four clean sheets also compare with none for Deportivo. Recent meetings reinforce the pattern, with Atletico winning four of the last five and drawing the other, including three consecutive 1-0 victories.

The model gives Atletico Madrid 50%, the draw 50% and Deportivo La Coruna 0%, while its predicted outcome is an Atletico victory. Its wider comparison favours the hosts 80%-20%, led by form at 83%-17%, defence at 78%-22%, goals at 83%-17% and head-to-head at 93%-7%. Atletico’s last six results read L-W-W-W-W-W, and their home record is unbeaten at three wins and one draw. Deportivo’s sequence is W-D-L-D-L-D, with one away win, two draws and one defeat. The goals expectation points towards restrained scoring, showing under 3.5 for Atletico and under 1.5 for Deportivo, consistent with the hosts’ 0.9 season goals conceded per game.

Pinnacle’s 1.27 price on Atletico Madrid implies 79%, far above the model’s 50%, so the home win offers little value at that number despite the statistical case. The draw is 6.03, implying 17% against the model’s 50%, making it the clearest price-versus-probability discrepancy, although it conflicts with the model’s designated Atletico outcome. Deportivo at 11.20 implies 9%, while the model assigns 0%. In the goals market, Under 2.5 is 2.47 and Under 3.5 is 1.59; the lower-scoring expectation, Atletico’s defensive numbers and five recent 1-0 head-to-head results support the former as the more attractive betting angle. Those prices shape the tips below.

Draw @ 6.03 — the model assigns the draw 50% against Pinnacle’s 17% implied probability

Under 2.5 Goals @ 2.47 — Atletico concede 0.9 goals per game this season and the last three meetings finished 1-0

Under 3.5 Goals @ 1.59 — the model expects under 3.5 Atletico goals and under 1.5 Deportivo goals
