On Sunday, from 16:00, Deportivo la Coruna receives the visit of Extremadura, in the 40th round of the second league in Spain. The guests are almost demoted!
Deportivo is on the 16th place and is far from the glory of the past decades. With a goal difference of 39-55 and 48 points, SuperDepor has lost only one match in the last five stages (even the last one played) and has only three points above the relegation line. Extremadura is on the 21st place out of 22 and has no chances to save, just like Racing Santander. Extremadura has lost the last two consecutive stages and comes with a damaged morale in traveling with Depor.
In the last stages, the white-blues defeated teams such as Elche (1-0), Ponferradina (2-1) or Huesca (2-1), also drawing with Tenerife (1-1). It is remarkable that Deportivo has collected important points, although it has conceded a goal in 6 of the last 7 games. However, the band from El Riazor managed to collect decisive points through offensive flashes! Extremadura comes after failures with 0-1 in front of Numancia and Cadiz, results that sealed his fate. It is interesting that the red-blues have won the last two direct duels with Deportivo, including in the round, with 2-0.
Sunday’s game should highlight the best scorers from Deportivo, Aketxe (7 successes) and Mollejo (6 successes), and the share of the hosts is decreasing, a sign that there is a lot of local confidence in the favorite team. We also bet on a successful team in shape!
