Match Preview – 17:30 Kick-Off at the Mestalla Stadium, Valencia.

With 1 win from their last 5 league games, Valencia will be leapfrogged by their opponents on Sunday should Deportivo manage to win. That might be a tall ask for a team who have just 1 away win all season, however, though that win did come in Deportivo’s last away game at Sporting Gijon. With 1 defeat from their last 5, Deportivo’s form is certainly on the up. In that run, they drew with Atlético Madrid and even more impressively beat Barcelona 2-1 with goals from Joselu and Alex Bergantinos. Although that recent purple patch has been extraordinary it’s also worth noting that Deportivo have only kept 1 clean sheet in 9.

In the reverse fixture in October, the sides drew 1-1. Historically Valencia’s recent record against Deportivo has been poor – they have won just 1 of the last 5 meetings between the two teams. Worryingly for manager Voro, Valencia have conceded the most goals of any side outside the current La Liga bottom 3 (51 goals).

Valencia v Deportivo La Coruna Predictions

The bookies have this down as a narrow Valencia win, but with Deportivo in such good form, I have a feeling they will avoid defeat at the Mestalla Stadium. Neither side are too prolific, so an avalanche of goals shouldn’t be expected either. A low scoring draw looks the most likely outcome. Below are our Valencia v Deportivo La Coruna betting tips.

NetBet’s odds of 51/20 for the game to end all square look good, but you could go one step further and back the 1-1 result at 13/2 with the same bookmakers. Under 2.5 goals at odds of 10/11 with William Hill covers all your bases however and would be a wise investment to make. Valencia’s odds of 5/6 to win don’t really represent much value, though Deportivo La Coruna’s odds of 33/10 to win do look a little better.
