Deportivo deA Coruña and Levante UD face each other on matchday nine of LaLiga EASports, with the match broadcast live starting at 9:00 p.m. CEST. The two teams arrive at the Riazor stadium with the intention of breaking a streak of four games without a victory, although each one has a different situation in the table and in their squads.
Deportivo, who have shown improvement in their recent matches, are affected by the absence of several key players. Coach AntonioHidalgo will be without Aubameyang, MarcCasadó and ZakariaEddahchourri, all injured, and will not be able to count on the suspended Amatucci either. Despite these shortcomings, the team has the experience of players like L.Román, X.Navarro and Giménez, and the presence of Yeremay, who has been a point of reference in the defense after his outstanding performance last day. In the midfield, Deportivo has figures such as L.Cruz, R.Rodríguez and M.Soriano, while the forward line relies on Villares and M.Soriano to generate scoring opportunities.
Levante, for its part, arrives with a heavier backpack. The team has drawn against Málaga, lost against Barça and Villarreal, and only managed one point in a 3-3 against Sevilla. The season under LuísCastro has been difficult, with the club's second worst streak since his arrival, and Levante failing to win away games. The squad has players like Ryan, N.Pérez, DelaFuente and Ndukwe, and the midfield is supported by O.Rey, Requena and Bardeli. The defense is made up of Brugué, IvánRomero and ThiagoFernández, while the forward is supported by striker N.Pérez and midfielder ManuSánchez.
The match began at a moderate pace, with both teams avoiding risks and generating few dangerous chances in the first minutes. Levante showed an attempted attack with a dangerous foul on the edge of the area, but Luismi's shot ended up in Ryan's hands. Deportivo, for its part, showed the presence of Yeremay, who left quality details in the midfield and was dominant against his defender. The tension increased when Levante tried to create danger in the area, but the ball was intercepted by Deportivo.
With the match still in its initial phase, both teams are looking for victory to improve their position in the table and break the streak of four games without a win. Deportivo looks to take advantage of its home advantage and the experience of its players to create scoring opportunities, while Levante tries to regain confidence after a series of negative results. The match will continue live, with the expectation that both teams will seek victory to advance in the competition.
