Season ticket holders at Riazor haven't seen too many victories this season, with Deportivo La Coruna languishing in the 22nd position so far. The guesting Elche will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1000 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Deportivo La Coruña form and stats
Deportivo La Coruña's struggle is real here at Riazor with only 6 points collected from 6 La Liga 2 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-2. All in all it has been a very rough period for Deportivo La Coruña who hasn’t won a game in their last 13 attempts. Their previous win was against Real Oviedo, 83 days ago.
The home team returns to Riazor after sharing the points with Fuenlabrada (placed 3rd) on their last time out; the La Liga 2 game ended 1-1. Before that, Deportivo La Coruña played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Racing Santander.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Deportivo La Coruña matches with similar probabilities have ended with 1 win, 3 draws and 2 defeats (from six games).
The Deportivo La Coruña fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 6 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.
Elche form and stats
3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Elche playing as the away team in the La Liga 2 this season.
Elche are travelling after their nice 4-2 home win in the La Liga 2 against Mirandés (placed 16th). Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Huesca's place.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Elche, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? It's hard not to mention Fidel's lethal finishing against Mirandés. 3 goals was a big reason for the three points.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Elche playing away, we found two games. Results were 1 away win, 0 draws and 1 home win.
Elche have scored 7 goals on their travels this season, from 7 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Elche have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
