Deportivo are failing the ending of the season as the team is unable to win in six matches on the road, taking only three points in them. The visiting side is 15th in the league with 39 points after 36 matches and four points ahead of the teams who are involved in relegation battle. Deportivo need to take only three points in the last two matches of the season to secure their place in Primera for the next season. The team from La Coruna have taken three wins on the road, 10 draws and five defeats in 18 matches on the road, gaining 19 points with 18-27 goal difference. We should note that the last three away matches of Deportivo ended with draws and the same score 1-1.
Villarreal are quite successful in matches with today’s visitors in recent years, taking 2-1 win in the reverse match earlier this season. However, the hosts of the match have no objectives remaining and they should be tired after mid-week clash with Liverpool. The visitors, in turn, still need points to secure the place in top division and any point counts. We expect Villarreal not to strive for three points and Deportivo have great chances at least avoid a defeat in this match.
Prediction for the match: Deportivo to win with +0.5 Asian Handicap.
