Deportivo La Coruna vs Getafe

Home - Deportivo La Coruna
Last away matches - D-L-L-W-L-L

Deportivo would love to pick up a win in front of their home faithful after struggling to adapt to life in the top-flight since being promoted last season. They are languishing down in 16th place in the league table after winning two, drawing two and losing five of their games so far, although there have been signs of life in recent weeks as Depor stunned Valencia 3-0 in their last home match before drawing 0-0 at Espanyol.Victor Fernandez's men are 6/5 for the win with Bet Victor after ended a four-match losing run with victory over Valencia at the Riazor and they will be confident of overcoming a Getafe side who start the weekend in 12th place in the league table. The Deep Blues have won three, drawn one and lost five of their league outings and they are 14/5 to win Friday's match, while they are 23/10 to draw.It is difficult to make a convincing case for either team but Getafe's away form must be something of a concern as they are yet to keep a clean sheet on the road. Cosmin Contra's side have won one and lost three of their four away games and it is worth noting that they have conceded the first goal in all four of those matches.

Away - Getafe
Last away matches - W-L-L-L-D-L

Getafe have conceded the first goal in 78% of their fixtures this season and Deportivo look good value to score the first goal at 3/4 with Ladbrokes. Depor's games have tended to produce goals as 67% have involved over 2.5 goals, while their home matches are averaging 4.5 goals per game!Those statistics are slightly skewed by the fact they lost 8-2 at home to Real Madrid last month but it does highlight how flimsy their defence can be as they have conceded 19 goals already. Fernandez will hope to shore his team up a bit but they must maintain some sort of an attacking threat and Isaac Cuenca, who is 15/2 to score first with SkyBet, will need to add to his tally of two goals for the season quickly.They take on a Getafe side who were a touch unlucky in losing 1-0 to Atletico Madrid last time out. They had to play much of that game with ten men and the result was their first defeat in four league outings. The Deep Blues will be confident of getting a positive result out of this trip to the Riazor though as they have only lost one of their last seven against Depor and a statistical quirk shows that the last four meetings between these sides have produced five penalties.
