Villarreal CF vs Deportivo La Coruña

Villarreal's search for a first win of the season collides with one of La Liga's form stories this weekend, as newly promoted Deportivo La Coruna arrive at La Ceramica unbeaten through three rounds. For last season's third-placed Villarreal, this is a chance to halt a worrying slide before it turns into a crisis. The hosts have managed just two points from three games, drawing with Racing Santander and Atletico Madrid before losing 1-0 to Alaves, with Juan Foyth a fitness doubt. Deportivo followed opening draws against Elche and Malaga with a 3-1 win over Valencia, though Adria Altimira is suspended after his red card. Georges Mikautadze leads Villarreal's attack, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, still scoring freely at 37, remains Deportivo's biggest threat. Our prediction: 2-1
