Deportivo La Coruña will host Sevilla on Wednesday 16 September 2026 at 19:00 ET in LaLiga jornada 6, with the match set for the local team’s stadium and a league table that already gives the game weight. Deportivo arrive unbeaten after five matches and sit sixth with 9 points, while Sevilla come in with a record that has caused problems for the hosts for years.
The reason this fixture has drawn attention is simple: Deportivo’s start has been sharp, but Sevilla have owned the rivalry. P. Aubameyang, who has four goals in the tournament, is one of the main figures behind the home side’s early momentum. Deportivo have two wins and three draws, including victories over Villarreal and Valencia, and they have been steady at home with one win and one draw, four goals scored and two conceded.
That form is why the matchup matters now. Deportivo have not lost a league game, and their 9 points place them among the early pace-setters in LaLiga 2026. But the head-to-head record pulls in the other direction. Sevilla have won seven of the last ten meetings between the teams, and the other three ended level, leaving Deportivo without a win in that span. The last time they met, in 2018, it finished 0-0.
There is also a practical edge to the preview. Deportivo have no reported absences, which keeps their options open for the contest. Sevilla’s expected side is not fully set out, so the clearest reading is that the visitors arrive with their recent record as their strongest calling card, while the hosts lean on current form and home advantage. That is the clash built into this game: one team unbeaten and climbing, the other backed by a history that has been hard to shake.
The next confirmed moment is kickoff at 19:00 on Wednesday, when Deportivo will try to turn their strong start into a result that changes the tone of this rivalry.
