Deportivo La Coruna vs Leganes Prediction and Betting Tips comes on Friday, May 1, 2026, at 17:30 GMT, from Estadio Municipal de Riazor in La Coruna. Referee information has not been confirmed, which adds a little mystery to a match already loaded with promotion pressure.
Depor sit 3rd with 65 points after 37 matches, while Leganés are 16th on 42. The hosts average 1.44 goals at home and concede 1.00, while Leganés average only 1.00 scored away from home. That gap tells a story, doesn’t it?
Deportivo La Coruña arrive with the look of a side that believes. Antonio Hidalgo’s 3-4-2-1 has given them structure, patience and enough punch between the lines. They have taken 9 points from the last 5 games, scored 8 times, and remain unbeaten in 8.
At home, Depor’s numbers are tidy rather than wild. They average 1.44 goals, concede 1.00, and produce 13.22 shots per match. That balance matters. Yeremay Hernández, already on 11 goals at 0.37 per 90, feels central to the whole script.
The absence of David Mella is not a small footnote either. He has 5 goals at 0.29 per 90 and gives Depor a different attacking spark. Still, Soriano and Hernández behind Nsongo should keep Leganés busy. Can Riazor turn that pressure into another home win?
Leganés come in with more questions than answers. Igor Oca’s 4-3-3 needs bravery, but the away side have taken only 4 points from their last 5 and scored 4 goals. Worse still, they have failed to score in their last 2 matches.
Their problems are not only recent. Leganés have blanked in 14 league games, around 38% of the season, and average just 1.00 goal away. Álex Millán has 6 goals at 0.36 per 90, but he may need scraps rather than clean service here.
Availability also bites hard. Marvel, S. Cissé and C. Guirao are suspended, while R. Pena and J. Sáenz remain doubtful. That makes Depor the cleaner pick, especially with momentum and table position leaning their way. For more context, our LaLiga2 Predictions lean toward Deportivo La Coruña to win.

Deportivo La Coruña to win makes sense because the home side arrive with far cleaner momentum. They are unbeaten in 8 matches, have scored in each of those games, and collected 9 points from the last 5. At Riazor, they concede only 1.00 goal per match, which matters against a Leganés attack that has gone quiet.
Leganés are not hopeless, but the numbers point away from them. They average just 1.00 goal on the road and only 3.47 shots on target away. With Marvel, S. Cissé and C. Guirao suspended, plus 2 doubts in defense, this feels like a hard trip. Depor’s 3rd place and stronger rhythm tilt the pick toward the hosts.
