Deportivo La Coruna v Valencia
After a break for the international fixtures league football returns and
the game that interests me is the Deportivo La Coruna v. Valencia game
tonight.
Depor have started the season poorly and are in 14th position in the
league at home in the 3 games they have played they have won 1 against
Betis (16th) and lost to Almeria (12th) and Recreativo (13th) with 1 goal
scored and 5 conceded.
Valencia are by far the best side to go to Depor this season sitting in
4th position 4 points off leaders Real Madrid and have won all 3 off their
away games in the league so far beating Recreativo 1-0, Betis 2-1 and
Almeria 2-1 so comparisons can be drawn between both sides.
Indeed it is at home where Valencia have struggled already losing twice to
Villareal and Espanyol. Valencia are currently best price 23/17 with
Expekt and generally still odds against with all bookies and I cannot see
why considering the 2 teams contrasting form.
Even the head to head record seems to favour Valencia as over the last 10
games they have won 3 away from home of the 5 in that time:
May 5, 07 Primera Divi... Deportivo La Co... 1 - 2 Valencia CF
Dec 10, 06 Primera Divi... Valencia CF 4 - 0 Deportivo La Co...
Feb 4, 06 Primera Divi... Deportivo La Co... 0 - 1 Valencia CF
Feb 1, 06 Copa Del Rey Valencia CF 1 - 1 Deportivo La Co...
Jan 19, 06 Copa Del Rey Deportivo La Co... 1 - 0 Valencia CF
Sep 17, 05 Primera Divi... Valencia CF 2 - 2 Deportivo La Co...
Feb 12, 05 Primera Divi... Valencia CF 1 - 2 Deportivo La Co...
Sep 22, 04 Primera Divi... Deportivo La Co... 1 - 5 Valencia CF
Mar 6, 04 Primera Divi... Valencia CF 3 - 0 Deportivo La Co...
Oct 25, 03 Primera Divi... Deportivo La Co... 2 - 1 Valencia CF
The other bet I will be having an investment in tonight will be under 2.5
goals, Depor have only scored 4 goals in 7 league games and only 1 at home
in that time and with Valencia hitting 5 in 3 away matches so far that
points nicely to an under 2.5 goal bet which at present Betfair are
offering at 0.75 and the other bookies at about 4/6 which bearing in mind
the stats is not a bad price.
So Valencia to win @ 23/17 best price
And under 2.5 goals @0.75 with Betfair or 4/6 fixed odds.
Lets hope these two start us back off in the right way with a couple of wins.
Good Luck
Silverfox.
