Dep. La Coruna vs Las Palmas Prediction & Betting tips
We start Saturday afternoon with the Spanish degradation cracker between Deportivo La Coruna and Las Palmas in the Riazor. Both for the hosts and the visitors, this is a crucial duel in the fight for life retention in La Liga.
Deportivo La Coruna:
Clarence Seedorf recently rejuvenated his trainer’s career, but his job with relegation candidate Deportivo La Coruna also threatens to turn into a disappointment. Galicians have been waiting for their first victory since the appointment of the Dutchman. The deficit in the safe seventeenth place has now risen to five points, so the blue-whites have to win on Saturday-afternoon to keep their chances of survival in La Liga alive. Goalkeeper Ruben Martinez: ‘If we do not win, it will look bad for us …’
Last weekend, Deportivo La Coruna failed 2-0 at Girona. The ever positively minded Seedorf tried to give his team a heart by stating that his team had played well: ‘Unfortunately, two dead game moments took our lead today. In view of our game, however, we are still alive and kicking. ‘ However, the confidence of Depor after three months without victory is currently at a very low level. Especially the lack of scoring ability is a big problem with only one goal in the last seven rounds. Florin Andone and Lucas Perez are not bad strikers in themselves, but the duo has been completely out of shape in recent weeks. Since the appointment of Seedorf, Deportivo La Coruna has averaged 9.82 goal attempts per game, which is higher than the average of all teams in La Liga. The problem, however, is that only fourteen goal attempts actually ended up between the poles and that the fans could only cheering once. Seedorf, however, has no other options and can do nothing but hope that Andone and Perez quickly regain their old form.
Las Palmas:
At Las Palmas it is also an alarm phase red. The island club seemed initially on its way to leave the relegation zone behind, but after two defeats in a row it had to passively watch how direct competitor Levante managed to hit a hole again. Also Las Palmas can not afford a point loss on Saturday afternoon so as not to lose sight of the safe seventeenth place.
Last weekend, Las Palmas went home with 0-2 against Villarreal for their own audience and will have to perform better in the remaining ten rounds of play anyway if it wants to bring about a life retention. In contrast to Seedorf, however, Las Palmas trainer Paco Jemez does not take a leaf for the mouth. The coach is clearly under head tension and is looking for the confrontation with virtually everyone within the club. From the players and the board to the medical staff and the press, everyone received the bag from Jemez during the past few weeks. “If you play so bad, losing is the only option,” Jemez grunted to Villarreal last week after defeat. ‘We must now show that we are cut out of the right wood, because in this way we have nothing to look for in La Liga.’ For the cracker against Deportivo La Coruna, Jemez takes all his men and has compiled a race selection of no less than 25 players. Only the injured Pedro Bigas and Emmanuel Emenike are left behind on the Canary Islands. Even the suspended Alex Galvez has stepped on the plane, because the yellow shirts hope that they can still return the suspension. However, that chance seems extremely small.
