VS
Deportivo La Coruna vs Getafe is a compact La Liga matchup in which Getafe have generally held the firmer hand, while Deportivo have shown they can answer at Riazor. A 0–2 Getafe win in 2016 was followed by Deportivo’s 2–1 comeback in 2017, then a 3–0 Getafe victory in 2018. The pattern is competitive enough to invite another question: which side controls the margins when the fixture returns?

Getafe’s control of the margins
Getafe’s advantage is built from results that have often rewarded their ability to turn a close contest into a clear one. At Riazor in May 2016, Pedro León and Carlos Vigaray scored in a 2–0 win after Deportivo had started brightly; the home side also lost Celso Borges to a second yellow card. In February 2018, Getafe went further, winning 3–0 through Ángel Rodríguez, Eneko Bóveda’s own goal and Jorge Molina. Those matches show how quickly the balance can move away from Deportivo.
Deportivo’s route back
Deportivo’s response came in September 2017. Amath Ndiaye gave Getafe the lead, but Lucas Pérez equalised and Florin Andone completed a 2–1 home comeback late on. That result prevents the matchup from becoming a simple story of control: Deportivo can still turn pressure and persistence into a decisive finish. A future meeting will therefore revisit the same durable question. Can Getafe keep the contest within their preferred margins, or can Deportivo make Riazor a setting for another reversal?
