Newcastle can build an early spell through their right side, while Everton have shown they can escape that pressure in a few passes. Deportivo and Osasuna have different routes into the box: one through Yeremay's carry and second balls, the other through a high press and wide supply. Both games turn on whether the first scoring move is followed by another clean finish.
The recent Newcastle–Everton cup meeting showed the collision clearly: Newcastle made repeated box entries, while Everton scored through a pressure regain, a quick release and a later forward connection. Newcastle also found two quick right-side finishes against Palace, and their high defensive screen has allowed opponents ample shots. Osula started the cup game but is now doubtful; Wissa gave Newcastle a central alternative. Branthwaite's return is expected rather than confirmed, and Mykolenko played the cup match. These current roles give both teams ways to score again after the first goal. That's why I'm siding with a higher-scoring Newcastle–Everton match.
Deportivo's Yeremay can beat Osasuna's first pressure and find Nsongo or Asp Jensen on a rebound or cutback; Osasuna can answer when Moro or Barja delivers to Budimir or Raúl García. Deportivo made five accurate shots at Atlético, while Osasuna's away defence has allowed clean looks. Deportivo's listed forward absences also missed recent games, and Asp, Sánchez and Carrillo had actual cup roles. Osasuna's official squad omits Oroz and Del Castillo but includes its alternate wide suppliers and finishers. Those available routes can turn an open chase into another finish, so I'm siding with a higher-scoring Deportivo–Osasuna match.
