Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
All eyes will be on Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero when Elche and Deportivo La Coruna lock horns in the closing match of Sunday’s program. Following back-to-back wins over Mirandes and Malaga, los Franjiverdes suffered a 1-0 loss to Racing Ferrol at the weekend and, no doubt, they are eager to get back on course as soon as possible. Defender Carlos Clerc should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Galicians, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, but they failed to turn their dominance into goals in a goalless draw with Malaga. As Deportivo are not regarded as good travellers, we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from the match. You should know that La Coruna head coach Imanol Idiakez has a full squad to choose from for Sunday’s encounter.
