Deportivo de A Coruna vs Real Madrid prediction 12.08.2026 | Friendly match

Real Club Deportivo de A Coruña prepares for this one on the back of a hard-fought 1–0 friendly victory against Genoa. The Brancoazuis have enjoyed a strong pre-season, remaining undefeated in their last five preparation matches.

Antonio Hidalgo’s men look highly formidable at the Estadio ABANCA-Riazor. They carry massive momentum into this clash, having lost just 1 of their last 7 home games while racking up 5 victories during their dominant promotion charge.

Main man Yeremay Hernández is the player to watch, fresh off a prolific season where he racked up an impressive 19 total goal contributions.

However, the squad faces a notable setback ahead of this elite test, with the talismanic winger expected to be a key absentee due to ongoing physical discomfort.

Real Madrid enters this one on the back of a hard-fought 2–1 pre-season victory over Ferencváros in Budapest. Los Blancos are enjoying a productive, unbeaten summer preparation phase, which also included a 2–2 stalemate against ACF Fiorentina.

José Mourinho’s men look highly clinical on their travels. They carry an impressive two-match unbeaten streak away from home during this summer tour.

Main man Vinícius Júnior remains the central threat to watch, carrying immense momentum after celebrating his brand-new five-year contract renewal with the club.

However, the squad faces a minor structural setback for this friendly. Key first-team players like Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham  are highly noticeable absentees from the starting group due to a temporary lack of match fitness following their late returns from post-tournament holidays.
