Deportivo La Coruna host in-form Sevilla at Riazor
Deportivo La Coruna return to Riazor on matchday six of La Liga to face Sevilla, a fixture between two sides who have both shown encouraging form in the season's opening weeks.
Deportivo go into the match unbeaten across their last five outings, having won two and drawn three, while Sevilla arrive having won three of their last five, with one draw and one defeat, giving them a slight edge in recent results.
A history in Sevilla's favour
The two sides have met five times previously, all in La Liga, with Sevilla winning three and drawing the other two. Deportivo have not beaten Sevilla in any of those recorded meetings, a run stretching back to a 2-0 defeat in December 2017 and a 4-2 loss the previous April.
Their most recent encounter, in April 2018, ended goalless, while a November 2016 meeting at Riazor saw Sevilla come away 3-2 winners despite Deportivo scoring twice.
What is at stake
With Deportivo unbeaten domestically in their recent run and Sevilla enjoying their own strong sequence, Saturday's meeting at Riazor pits two sides in good touch against a backdrop where the visitors have historically held the upper hand.
Both teams will be looking to carry their momentum from the season's early matchdays into a fixture that has previously proven difficult for the home side.
