Deportivo A Coruña team overview
Deportivo secured a return to La Liga after eighty years by finishing 2nd in La Liga 2 last season. Even though they just arrived, the Blue and Whites had an awesome start, as they were undefeated in the first five games. However, since then, they have won only two points in the following three games. Still, due to a great start, they sit in 8th place with 10 points after 8 rounds. But overall, their momentum seems to be slowing down, though they can be satisfied with what they have achieved thus far.
Lorenzo Amatucci received a red card in the previous game against Real Sociedad and will serve his suspension against Levante. Moreover, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Marc Casado, and Zakaria Eddahchouri should remain sidelined with their injuries.

Levante team overview
Levante avoided relegation last season only due to better H2H stats than Mallorca. If the tiebreaker was goal difference, the Frogs would play in La Liga 2 this season. Now, Levante's main goal is to survive somehow. At this moment, they are in 17th place with six points from seven rounds. They are on level with Elche, which is in the danger zone, but Levante played one game fewer. Also, like Deportivo A Coruna, their momentum is pretty bad, and they have had massive problems defensively, allowing 3+ goals in the last three games.
After a 3:3 draw with Sevilla in the previous game, coach Luís Castro spoke to the media. He said they improved tactically compared to the last games and said Sevilla haven't been a superior team. The coach praised the team's mentality, saying that it is "non-negotiable in this team".
As for injuries, the team shouldn't have any new ones, but Karl Etta Eyong and Hugo Sotelo should remain sidelined.

Prediction
Deportivo A Coruna just lost 3:2 to Real Sociedad and were generally great for this bet over the course of the season. We saw BTTS in seven out of eight La Liga games - 87%.
Levante weren't as great for this bet throughout the season, but we still had BTTS in the last three games. They have had massive problems defensively in recent matches, allowing 3+ goals in the past three games! So, keeping a clean sheet seems highly unlikely. On the other hand, Deportivo A Coruna haven't had a clean sheet in all eight La Liga games this season.
Moreover, the last six h2h games ended with both teams scoring. Considering all the above, but especially their terrible defensive performances, we expect at least one goal for each side.
3 Reasons why both teams should score
- Seven out of eight Deportivo's games ended with BTTS
- Both teams scored in Levante's last three games
- We saw both teams scoring in the last six h2h games
