Deportivo de A Coruña vs Sevilla FC: Confirmed Lineups for LaLiga Jornada 6 at Riazor

A LaLiga EA SPORTS classic returns to Riazor eight years after its last meeting. The Deportivo de A Coruña welcome the Sevilla FC for Matchday 6 in the first midweek fixture of the season, and both confirmed starting lineups are now available. The Galician side, managed by Antonio Hidalgo, host Luis García Plaza’s Andalusian outfit in what promises to be an intriguing clash between two teams that have impressed in the early stages of the campaign.

Match Context: Two Strong Season Openers

Both clubs have started LaLiga 2026-27 with notable ambition. Deportivo, far from behaving like a typical newly promoted side, have shown genuine competitiveness under Hidalgo, while Sevilla have assembled a squad that appears reliable and is already delivering results. The matchup carries extra weight given Hidalgo’s previous connection to the Sevilla organization, having managed the Sevilla Atlético before stepping up to higher divisions.

The Deportivo vs Sevilla fixture at Riazor is expected to draw significant attention, with both sets of supporters maintaining a positive relationship. The first interweek round of the season adds an additional tactical dimension, as managers must manage squad rotation and fitness carefully.

Deportivo de A Coruña Starting XI

Antonio Hidalgo names a squad with plenty of quality for the afternoon at Riazor. A standout name is Luismi Cruz, who played for the Sevilla Atlético before moving to A Coruña, and who will be eager to make an impression against his former club. The attacking momentum is led by Aubameyang, whose recent form — including a memorable comeback victory over Villarreal — has made him a central figure in Hidalgo’s plans.

Deportivo confirmed lineup:

• Leo Román (GK)
• Alti, Loureiro, Giménez, Angeliño
• Luismi Cruz, Riki, Amatucci, Yeremay
• Nsondo, Auba

Sevilla FC Starting XI and Tactical Shift

Luis García Plaza has altered his formation for this match. After deploying a 4-3-3 at Cornellá and a two-forward setup against Valencia, the former Alavés coach returns to a 4-2-3-1 shape with a double pivot and a liberated number ten. Fofana partners Lucien Agoumé in midfield, while Guridi is given more freedom to support Stassin in attack.

The defensive unit remains largely unchanged, with Odysseas in goal, Iglesias, A. Castrín, Kike Salas, and Suazo forming the back four. On the flanks, Miguel Sierra and Félix return to their wide roles.

Key Tactical Battles and What to Watch

Several matchups could decide the outcome at Riazor. The duel between Luismi Cruz and the Sevilla full-backs will be fascinating given Cruz’s familiarity with the Sevilla system. In midfield, the Fofana-Agoumé partnership will need to control the tempo against Guridi’s creative freedom. Stassin’s movement in behind the Sevilla defensive line will test the pace and positioning of Iglesias and Suazo.

Sevilla’s ability to adapt between different formations this season suggests they are entering this match with tactical flexibility, while Deportivo’s cohesive unit under Hidalgo indicates they are ready to defend their home advantage. The Riazor atmosphere, with both fanbases known for their respectful rivalry, should provide an electric backdrop.
