Deportivo La Coruna vs Real Madrid Competition – Spanish Primera Stadium – Riazor Date: 26th April 2017 Kick-off time – 20:30 GMT Live in-play betting – bet365
Deportivo continue their fight to avoid relegation against the wounded Real Madrid in this encounter. Deportivo need nothing but a win if they want to survive the drop this season. They are currently 16th in the league table, just 4 points above 17th placed Leganes, but they are 8 points off the relegation zone. Their recent form has been woeful – they have won only 1 time in their last 6 games, losing 4 of those fixtures. Their home form is not particularly bad, as they have managed to lose only 1 of their last 6 home games, although they have drawn 3 of those and managed 2 wins. Real Madrid come into this encounter after a very disappointing home loss to archrivals Barcelona on Sunday. They had hoped to open up a 6 points gap with a win in that game, but have now been brought down to second position on goal difference. Prior to that loss to Barca, Madrid had won 4 of their last 5 matches in all competitions. They now have 4 wins from their last 6 La Liga games. Real Madrid are deadly when they play away from home, they have won 7 of their last 7 away matches in all competitions, and Deportivo look like their next victim. Bookmakers strongly favour Real Madrid in this tie.
