DEPORTIVO v RAYO VALLECANO
Monday 1st February 2016 – Kickoff: 2030hrs
Football – Spain – La Liga Betting Tips
Deportivo earned another useful point in last weekend’s 1-1 draw at home with Valencia which followed a 1-1 draw away at Real Sociedad the week before; but Deportivo have dropped down the league table as a result of five league matches without a win.
However, three points on Monday night could close the gap on 8th placed Sevilla, and Deportivo have suffered just two defeats at home so far this season within an overall home record of 3-5-2 15/10 with just one loss from their last eight at their Estadio Municipal de Riazor.
Deportivo striker Lucas Perez (13 goals) is the home side’s leading goalscorer and he’s scored 4 goals in his last 8 league matches including notching against Valencia last weekend.
Visitors Rayo Vallecano ended their dismal run of nine La liga matches without a win last time out when they recorded a much-needed 3-0 home win over Celta Vigo which will have boosted their confidence for tonight’s match.
However, they face a tough assignment in La Coruna this evening as they’ve gone eight matches without a win away from home which includes their devastating 10-2 annihilation at the hands of Real Madrid just before Christmas.
Vallecano’s away record stands at 1-2-7 12/29 and they also possess the worst defensive record away from home in La Liga with just one clean sheet to their name on their travels, whilst also conceding 2 goals or more on 7 occasions out of their 10 away matches to date.
I’ll back the home side and give the quarter-ball for extra insurance.
Pick: Deportivo AH-0.25 @ 1.65 Bet Victor
