Context & news

Deportivo can look to establish possession at Riazor and exploit set pieces, with specific work having been carried out in training. Their better position in the standings and superior season statistics support this reading, but Aubameyang’s likely absence may reduce their finishing effectiveness.

Opposing scenario: Levante sit deep, quickly attack the spaces left by Deportivo’s full-backs or midfield, and draw on their occasional ability to have scored five goals against Betis in the archives. Levante’s 12 goals conceded and lower average possession remain unfavorable signals, without providing precise information about the quality of the chances.
