How did Atlético Madrid line up last time?
Atlético Madrid’s last official starting XI was in the match Stuttgart vs Atlético Madrid on 20 October 2026 in the Champions League, in a 4-4-2 formation. The predicted line-up against Deportivo is based on that match, and may change due to injuries or rotation, information we do not have.
- Goalkeeper: J. Oblak (captain)
- Defence: Marcos Llorente, Marc Pubill, D. Hancko
- Midfield: Alejandro Grimaldo, Giuliano Simeone, Pablo Barrios, Morten Hjulmand, Álex Baena
- Attack: Jonathan David, J. Álvarez
The same formation means Atlético may start with five players in midfield, with David and Álvarez up front. This distribution gives the team numerical density in the middle, which was evident in the last official match.
How did Deportivo La Coruña line up last time?
Deportivo La Coruña’s last official starting XI was in the match Deportivo La Coruña vs Levante on 16 October 2026 in La Liga, in a 4-4-2 formation. The predicted line-up against Atlético is based on that match, and may change due to injuries or rotation, information we do not have.
- Goalkeeper: Leo Román
- Defence: Ximo Navarro, José María Giménez, Bright Ede, Giacomo Quagliata
- Midfield: Luis Me Cruz, Mario Soriano, Diego Villares (captain), R. Rodríguez
- Attack: Yeremay Hernández, Bill Nsongo
Deportivo play the same formation, with four at the back, four in midfield and a front two. This line-up reflects a balance between defensive discipline and looking for counter-attacks.
InfoSports numbers

What does this mean for the match?
Atlético’s attacking and defensive numbers are better, but the two predicted line-ups are similar in structure. The difference may come from the quality of execution rather than the formation. The result will affect the two teams’ standings after the round, especially as Atlético want to close the gap with the top, and Deportivo are looking for points to move them away from mid-table.
