Real Betis vs Deportivo La Coruna Prediction 26 August 2016

Tournament: La Liga
Location: Benito Villamarín
Match date: 08/26/2016 at 19:45

Real Betis host Deportivo La Coruna at Benito Villamarín in the second round of the La Liga.

In their first game of the new season Real Betis clashed with last-season champion Barcelona at Camp Nou. No wonder, Gus Poyet’s side were thrashed 2:6 by Messi and Co. However, what’s more important, Betis managed to score twice in that match. Obviously, it was almost impossible for Real Betis to steal points from Barca in the first round, so we should say the real battle starts for the hosts in the second one. Surely, Betis will go all out to beat Deportivo.

The visitors in turn had more successful start. La Coruna’s side came from behind against Eibar at home ground (2:1). Newcomers haven’t adapted yet and it was clear during that match. That’s why we do not expect the visitors to show consistent performance in near future.

We should also mention head-to-head record of the two sides. They both managed to score in their last-season matchups. First, Deportivo beat Betis 2:1 on the road, and then they recorded 2:2 draw. Deportivo and Betis have seen goals from both sides in their last 5 head-to-heads. On top of that, both teams managed to net at least one goal in 3 of their last 5 head-to-heads at Benito Villamarín.

Real Betis will try to redeem themselves after hammering against Barcelona and prove their worth. Deportivo aren’t that good defensively, so we expect both teams to score today.
