Getafe vs Deportivo La Coruna — Tips & Analysis

Deportivo La Coruna +0.25: Getafe are short of players and short of goals, and that is the case for Deportivo here. Getafe are without Uche, Abqar, Kiko Femenia and Juanmi, and Romero is suspended. This is a team that grinds games out rather than one that creates much. Getafe score under a goal a game and have won only 5 of their last 14. Their games are quiet too, with 3 or more goals in only 4 of those 14. Deportivo have been the better team all season. They have won 7 of their last 13 and lost only one of them. They have not lost any of their six away games. On the road they score more than a goal a game and let in under one. Getafe sit 14th on four points, and Deportivo are 6th on eight. The Coliseum flattens better teams, so do not look for an open game here. A 1-1 tie is the most likely result, with Deportivo doing the better work and Getafe scrambling something back. That is a result we are happy with. There are real worries, though. Getafe have won 6 of the last 10 meetings between these two and lost only one. Deportivo have also scored eight goals in four league games from far fewer chances than that, so the goals should dry up a bit. Getafe are too thin right now, and we will take Deportivo with the head start.
