Deportivo – Elche

Deportivo La Coruna hosts Elche in the match of all matches for avoiding relegation in the Primera Division. Deportivo and Elche are on the 18th and 20th place, both with 10 points.

Deportivo switched to a more defensive style of football after allowing a ton of goals in the start of the season, but it did not help them much … Deportivo has zero wins in the last 6 games in Primera Division and scored only 1 goal in these 6 matches … way back in October! Played a better game 2 weeks ago in the Copa Del Rey, 1-1 vs. Malaga, but then lost to Malaga in the league last weekend 0-1 at home. Team news for Deportivo say that there are no injuries or suspensions … only Faria is questionable.

Elche in a similar situation with Super Depor … 1 win, 3 draws and 7 losses in the last 11 games in Primera, did not win in the last 5 games (counting also Copa Del Rey here). Elche lost 0-2 to Atletico Madrid at home in the last game, that is not a problem but the problem is they were not able to win games vs. much worse teams recently. Team news for Elche are great, only Mudingayi is questionable.

Both teams struggling a lot with their football and normally a low scoring game is expected in such an important encounter but odds are very low and after all Elche has the worst defense in Primera Division. I think this is a unique chance for Deportivo La Coruna to get a win and I do not think they will blow it … hosts have the home court advantage and can fuel themselves for that for a huge result. Deportivo has a much tougher schedule lately and played some decent games like against Malaga or Sociedad, were also very unlucky in some games. Elche played only poor sides and still did not get anything. A draw is not out of the question but my tip will be Deportivo to win … and I will cover the bet a little bit with a -0,25 asian handicap. Correct score prediction: Deportivo La Coruna – Elche 1-0.
