Deportivo La Coruña form and stats

Only two La Liga 2 home games for Deportivo La Coruña so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Deportivo La Coruña to get some points in this home game.

The Deportivo La Coruña crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Albacete here at Estadio Abanca-Riazor in a La Liga 2 match. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Rayo Vallecano (1-3).

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Deportivo La Coruña's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played seven games, won 2 matches, drawn 3 and lost 2.

Deportivo La Coruña has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 3 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Albacete form and stats

Things could have gone better for Albacete in their La Liga 2 away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.

Albacete play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Deportivo La Coruña (placed 17th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Sporting Gijon wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Albacete when being an outsider away as they are today, we find six matches with the visitors losing 4 times, drawing 1 and winning 1 game.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Albacete's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Albacete have conceded 5 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
