Deportivo La Coruna vs Leganes prediction 01.05.2026 | Segunda Division

Los Herculinos have quietly built something solid in recent weeks. Eight matches unbeaten, four wins and four draws, and it is not the kind of run that feels lucky.

Hidalgo’s side look organised, maybe not spectacular, but difficult to break down. That alone has pushed Deportivo into third, which, if you think about it, says a lot about consistency in this league.

At Riazor, things have been even steadier. Three wins from the last four home games, and the crowd has started to believe again. Bil Nsongo scored against Burgos last weekend, his fourth of the campaign, and should keep his spot.

Yeremay Hernández, with eleven league goals, remains the main attacking threat. There is one concern, though. David Mella is out with a lateral meniscus tear, which limits options out wide. No suspensions at least, so Hidalgo can keep most of his structure intact.

Los Pepineros arrive in a very different mood, and it shows in the results. Just two wins in the last 12 games is worrying enough, but the recent defeats feel heavier than usual.

A 2-0 loss to Las Palmas, followed by a 4-0 defeat against Andorra, both without scoring, hint at a team struggling for ideas.

Oca’s side are now only six points above the drop zone, which is not comfortable at this stage. Away form makes it worse. Eight games without a win on the road, six defeats in that stretch, and confidence seems thin.

There are still players who can make a difference. Álex Millán has six goals this season and should lead the line, with Duk and Cruz offering support. Between them, they have six as well, which is modest. It might not be enough if Deportivo control the tempo.
