In spite of the expected defeat last weekend, Valladolid gave solid resistance to Real Madrid, thus proving that they play much better outside of their stadium this season. Deportivo continued the excellent run when they recorded minimum home win over favoured Sevilla thus reaching the fourth straight triumph.
Winless at home
Only one Valladolid’s triumph in the first seven rounds suggests that this team might be one of the main relegation contenders. Valladolid recorded a convincing 3 :0 triumph over Deportivo at home last season but we should certainly mention that the visitors weren’t in so good form as they are now. Hosts haven’t yet won at home and they are not likely to end the negative run against inspired La Coruna that have gone last four games without conceding a single goal. That is why 3.80 on the visitors to keep a clean sheet offered by Betfair seems tempting.
One of the reasons for Valladolid’s poor form in the first seven rounds are definitely numerous injuries of the regular starters, but most of them will be fit to play against Deportivo. Coach Jose Luis Mendilibar finally has the reasons to be satisfied, at least when it comes to the players, while only Alberto Marcos and Antonio Barragan are doubtful for this game. The main weapon of the hosts will definitely be Manchester United's loan, Alberto Manucho, who will join Diego Costa up front. Bet 365 offer 3.25 for Manucho to score, which is quite decent, having in mind that this is a young player with huge attacking potential.
Four straight triumphs with a clean sheet
Deportivo La Coruna deserved to celebrate over Sevilla in the last round at Riazor and leveled on points with them on third place with only four points behind Barcelona. We must admit that Deportivo reminded on the champion’s generation and if they keep this up, it would be no surprise if they regained their old fame. Deportivo play pretty tough and this recipe is giving results so far, since this team are one of rare Primera squads with positive goal margin and they played against Real Madrid and Sevilla. Four straight wins with a clean sheet are the best proof of Deportivo’s good form and now they are playing in Valladolid that still haven't won at home. Pinnacle Sports offer 2.92 for the away win.
None of Deportivo players sticks out and team work is giving excellent results so far. We have already mentioned that they pay a lot of attention to defense and they won the last three games with the exact same result 1:0. That is why you should think about Sporting Bet's offer 1.50 for the visitors to score under 1.5 goal.
Betting verdict
Valladolid took only one point in the last four games, while their rivals this weekend have maximum efficiency. Deportivo are in top form this season and we expect them to confirm the good form on this game too.
