Negative30%
Deportivo is going through an unstable performance phase, with only 2 wins (20%) and 3 losses in their last 10 matches, reflecting the inconsistency in their play, especially when facing higher-level teams.
The defense lacks concentration and is prone to mistakes, as evidenced by 14 goals conceded (an average of 1.4 per game) and no clean sheets, while the defense has had many ineffective performances, such as the 0-3 loss to FC Porto.
The lack of discipline in matches is reflected in 12 yellow cards and 2 red cards in the last 10 games, directly affecting the performance of key players, especially in crucial matches.
The loss of personnel due to injury of Adama Traoré (a fast-winger forward) has left Deportivo without a speedy wing forward, and the replacement options (Bil Nsongo, Luismi Cruz) are not capable of fully substituting at this position, creating a gap on the flanks.
