Spain - Primera Division: Deportivo vs Sp. Gijon Deportivo La Coruna ended the four-game winning run last weekend after a convincing defeat by Valladolid (4:0). On the other hand Gijon continued the excellent run of results so after two triumphs they managed to take a point from Real Madrid.
Deportivo are close to Copa Del Rey quarterfinals
After four straight wins without a goal conceded, Deportivo gave the weakest performance this season and conceded even four goals ion Valladolid. Still, by the middle of the week La Coruna fought a minimum win against Murcia in the first leg of Copa Del Rey round of 16 and now they have real chances to make it to the quarterfinals. Last season Deportivo lost twice to Gijon, who scored three goals in each game, so we think you should consider Betfair’s offer of 1.53 for Deportivo to concede.
Coach Miguel Angel Lotina rested key players, Andres Guardado, Luis Filipe and Riki in the game against Murcia. The problem in the team are recent injuries of Za Castro and Mista, while Juca will be back and he is together with Riki club's best scorer with two goals scored. This excellent Brazilian is an expert on set-pieces and even though he arrived this summer to the club he got the leading role with set-pieces and used it perfectly. Stan James offer 5.00 for Juca to score and we think that you should use such a good offer.
Gijon lost two games away
Convincing wins over Mallorca and Bilbao were certainly a big boost for Gijon to reach the deserved point in the draw against Real Madrid at home. The team lost two games in the first eight rounds, both of them away while they are pretty dangerous at home. By the middle of the week thanks to Mate Bilic they drew with Almeria in the cup. After ten-year long break, these two teams meet again in Primera, last season Gijon managed to win the first triumph at Riazor (3:0). That will definitely be a boost for them to give their best and stay unbeaten. That is why you should consider Sporting bet’s offer of 2.00 for the visitors not to lose.
The problem for coach Manolo Preciado is certainly the absence of two defenders, Alberto Botia and Jose Angel, who earned serious injuries, so Alain and Gerard Autet will start the game in stead. In the last round Gijon defense managed to keep a clean sheet against Real and having in mind that Deportivo are not too efficient this season, as well as that last season they failed to beat Gijon at Riazor, Betfair’s offer of 5.30 for the visitors to keep a clean sheet seems tempting.
Betting verdict
Deportivo showed first signs of weakness last weekend and they question is if they will recover from the heavy defeat by Valladolid. Gijon have no such problems and the draw with Real is a proof that they will be a hard nut to crack. Precisely that is why you shouldn’t rush with betting on favoured Deportivo, but we suggest betting on goals.
