There will be fireworks when Deportivo La Coruna welcome Elche in their long-awaited return to La Liga. The hosts have enjoyed an impressive preseason, remaining unbeaten and claiming a 1-0 victory over Genoa in their final warm-up game. Deportivo have also lost just once in their last 10 matches, winning six, while keeping six clean sheets. Star signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is expected to make his La Liga debut, adding further firepower to a side that scored in nine of those 10 games.
Elche, meanwhile, head into the season aiming simply to survive. Los Franjiverdes ended preseason on a high, comfortably beating Toulouse 3-0, but their away record is a concern, with just one point from their last three road games. Fer Nino is expected to make his debut, while Alvaro Rodriguez has departed for Bournemouth in a €25m deal. Elche have conceded in all three of their recent away outings.
Deportivo's excellent preseason and strong defensive record make them the safer pick. Therefore, Home Win is our main betting option, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals (Deportivo conceded just six goals in their last 10 matches).
This Primera Division match will be played on Monday 17 August 2026 at 20:00.
