Mid-Table Scrap in A Coruña

Deportivo de La Coruña welcome Deportivo Alavés to north-west Spain on Sunday in a Round 8 clash between two sides locked on eight and seven points respectively. Both clubs sit in the bottom half of the Primera División Femenina table, separated by a single point and desperate to build momentum before the season slips away from them.

Contrasting Form

Depor arrive buoyed by a thrilling 3-2 away win at Eibar last weekend - their second consecutive victory on the road. Their recent form reads WLDWL across all fixtures, but the pattern is striking: all their attacking output has come away from home, where they average two goals per game and boast two clean sheets in three outings. At home, however, the picture is bleak - just two goals scored in four matches, no wins, and six conceded.

Alavés, meanwhile, stopped a three-match losing streak by snatching a 1-1 draw against Sevilla last time out. Their form of DLLLW over the past five paints a worrying picture. On the road they have lost all three away matches this season without scoring a single goal, conceding three in the process.

Attack vs Defence

Both sides have struggled in front of goal, averaging just over one goal per game across the campaign. Alavés have failed to score in four of their seven matches - a league-high ratio that underlines their toothless attack. Depor have also drawn blanks three times but carry a far greater threat when travelling, which makes this home fixture an intriguing test of whether they can translate that road confidence to their own patch.

How This Could Unfold

Depor's stark home-away split is the defining factor. If they reproduce their travelling form, they should have too much for an Alavés side that has not scored away from home all season. Yet history this campaign suggests Depor struggle to break teams down in front of their own supporters. A tight, low-scoring contest looks the most likely outcome, with the hosts holding a slim edge based on their superior overall attacking numbers and recent momentum.
