Deportivo La Coruña form and stats

Overall La Liga 2 stats at home this season for Deportivo La Coruña, who have the most conceded goals (20) in La Liga 2, are 1-3-1 (wins-draw-losses). The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts. Three draws in a row here at Estadio Abanca-Riazor for Deportivo La Coruña, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.

The fans are hoping that Deportivo La Coruña will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the La Liga 2 game against Las Palmas (placed 5th). In the match before that, Deportivo La Coruña hosted Almería and drew the game 0-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Deportivo La Coruña have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won 5 times, drawn 2 and lost 2.

Deportivo La Coruña has scored 7 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. 7 goals have been conceded.

Málaga form and stats

There's been little loot from Málaga's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 6 away games in the La Liga 2. Málaga, who have the fewest scored goals (7) in La Liga 2, only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 2 draws. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Málaga, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Racing Santander game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a La Liga 2 home defeat versus Cádiz with 1-2 on the scoreboard. A 0-2 defeat away at Huesca before that.

Málaga are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 1 draw and 6 defeats. From a total of eight matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Málaga as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Málaga have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 4 - 3 - 3 (Deportivo La Coruña wins - draws - Málaga wins). As for goals, 5 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 5 had two or less.
