Deportivo La Coruna vs Eibar Betting Tips

Eibar staged a stunning comeback in midweek in the Copa del Rey. Trailing 3-0 from the 1st Leg against Segunda Division side Ponferradina, they won 4-0 on the night to progress 4-3 on aggregate and in doing so ended a streak of 5 games without a win.

They have faced some tough matches in that run though and draws against Villarreal and Valencia in the league were certainly no disgrace. They come into this game in 10th place and are only 2 points behind Deportivo who are currently 6th but perhaps more significantly the Basque club, who finished in the bottom three last year, are 7 points clear of the relegation zone.

Deportivo were also involved in that relegation scrap last term but could be surprise contenders for a European place this time around. They are unbeaten in 8 matches coming into this one but do draw more than they win and their last 3 matches have finished all square.

For that reason an Eibar side, who have only lost 1 match this season to a side outside of the ‘big 3’ look good value to at least secure a draw here and you can back them to avoid defeat at 5/1.

They are unlikely to have enough to win the match with Depor also difficult to beat and no doubt feeling confident following their late fightback to pick up a point at the Camp Nou last weekend. Therefore a draw does seem to be the most likely outcome and at 5/1 you can back this to finish 1-1.
