Deportivo La Coruna vs Real Sociedad Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Real Sociedad are one of the real form teams in Spain right now. They’ve won 5 of their last 6 matches and the one game they failed to win was a 1-1 draw with Barcelona which they had the better of. As a result they should head to Galicia full of confidence and with genuine reason to believe they can win the game.

They look to have recruited well over the summer and all areas of their team are looking quite strong. Defensively they are tough to break down and have kept clean sheets in 38% of their games in La Liga this season and have only let in 2 goals in their last 5 league games. The midfield is well balanced with Asier Illarramendi pulling the strings and up top they have an in-form striker in the shape of Willian Jose. He has netted 7 goals in La Liga already, a record bettered only by Messi, Suarez and Ronaldo. With Depor struggling, there looks to be value in backing Willian Jose to score anytime at 9/4.

The hosts look distinctly average in truth and since the opening day they’ve won just one of their 13 matches in all competitions so it’s hard to see them getting the better of the in-form Basque side. They’ve started to score a few more goals which is encouraging but at the back they look vulnerable. They are yet to register a home clean sheet and have let in 1.77 goals per game on average this term and have conceded 3 or more goals in 4 of their last 6 league games.

The bookies only make the visitors slight favourites here but Real Sociedad just look stronger in all areas of the pitch and are certainly in much the better form. They possess the quality to cause a leaky Depor defence lots of problems and backing Real Sociedad 0.0 Asian Handicap at 31/40 looks to offer the value here.
