Espanyol face Deportivo La Coruna on Thursday the 20th December 2012 at El Prat de Cornella at 21:00 GMT+0 (22:00 Local time). Espanyol are currently 19th in the Spanish Primera while Deportivo sit at the foot of the table in 20th with an inferior goal difference. Both teams have drawn 3 of their last 7 and lost the other 4 so looking for guidance on who is going to win this match is difficult. History shows us that Espanyol have won 14 of 38 matches, Deportivo have won 15 and both teams shared the points 9 times however in recent history Espanyol have won 4 of the last 5 meeting between these two sides. Both teams have exactly the same stats; Played 16, won 2, drawn 8, only goal difference separates the sides at the bottom of the Spanish Primera. Deporitvo have managed to score 4 more goals than Espanyol this season however they have conceded 7 more goals at the other end of the pitch.
If this game has a winner, it has to be Espanyol; they showed great fight and determination against Real Madrid in their last game and managed to steal a point late in the game. Their manager, Diego Colotto said “We try to win every game that we play and being at home must be a positive point for us”. Espanyol didn’t look like a team struggling at the bottom of the Spanish Primera when they played against Real Madrid and if they can repeat that against a team who are poor defensively, they will surely come out on top.
A win for either team will see them move out of the relegation zone so there is added incentive to put in a performance, particularly for Espanyol because they face Barcelona in their next game which isn’t going to be easy.
Current betting odds – Espanyol (4/5) Draw (13/5) Deportivo La Coruna (10/3)
