Eibar vs Deportivo La Coruna Betting Tips & Predictions

Eibar were also on the wrong end of a heavy defeat in midweek when they went down 4-0 at Valencia. They were also beaten 4-0 in their previous away game at Real Madrid and have won just 1 of their last 10 matches in the league although that did come in their most recent home game when they beat local rivals Real Sociedad 2-1. That result took the Basques on to 41 points, all but guaranteeing their safety and with not the most testing of run-ins they have every chance of picking up a couple more wins and ending the season in the top half, which would be a fine achievement for the pre-season relegation favourites.

Deportivo fans are 3 points further back and their fans might be getting a bit nervous. They may only need another point or two to secure their safety but the way they are playing, that won’t necessarily be easy. Their 8-0 hammering at home to Barcelona highlighted their problems but we can give them the benefit of the doubt and say they caught an angry Barcelona side, who had a point to prove,. on the wrong day. What is less excusable is their overall run of just 1 win in 20 matches in all competitions. Were it not for a bright opening to the campaign they’d be heading for the Segunda Division and given they have a trip to Villarreal and a home game with Real Madrid for their last two games, they still might.

Neither side are in great form and both are leaking goals but they are also scoring the odd one themselves. Both teams have scored in 4 of Eibar’s last 6 matches and 4 of Depor’s last 5. They should both get far more of the ball and far more joy in front of goal than they did in tough midweek fixtures and backing both teams to score at 17/20 might be the best approach here.
