Deportivo La Coruna vs Valladolid

27/1- Two teams with an exactly opposite story in terms of the form and the position on the points table take on each other as Valladolid travel to face the struggling Deportivo La Coruna. While Valladolid go into the match after three consecutive victories, the home team has a record of three consecutive losses in the last three matches. While Deportivo have spent most of the season in the bottom half of the table and are currently placed in the second last position Valladolid are in the top half of the table and  ranked 7^th they are hoping to challenge the other teams to get a European spot for the next year. The history of matches between the two sides show that Deportivo edge out Valladolid just by an extra victory in their tally but looking at the current form of both sides it would appear that the records are set to be levelled.

Deportivo would be hoping that they would enjoy the benefit of the crowd support, something they have not been able to convert into victories all this season as they have just won a single match playing 9 matches at home this season. Guardado has been the best player for the side and has managed to score 4 goals but adequate support would be required from the likes of Tejada and company if the team has to get something out of this match.

Valladolid on the other hand would be a highly motivated side after they beat A tough team like Espanyol,2-1, in their last match. Taking on Deportivo would also work in their favour as they are trying to strengthen their grip over the 3^rd spot and hence possibly try and get a spot for the Champions League next year as well. Llorente and Guttirez would be the two players to watch out for and if they can strike early, the home team would find it difficult to contain them for the rest of the match.

Prediction: 0-2, Valladolid win
