La Coruña – Espanyol Combo TIPS
La Coruña Betting Tips
La Coruña have not won a victory for more than two months. His last success was the 1 to 0 that scored in the Leganés on 9 of December by La Liga. Since then, in nine matches of the competition scored only two draws and suffered nine defeats.
The most recent was in the previous round. Against Alavés, away from home, the Galician team completed three consecutive games without being able to score and scored 1-0. With 17 points (four wins, five draws and 15 losses), it is ranked nineteenth in the tournament standings .
The situation is difficult but not irreversible. The Levante, seventeenth and first out of the relegation zone, has only three points more than La Coruna. The problem is that a significant difference compared to the sixteenth place, just Espanyol, who accumulated 27 points (six wins, nine draws and nine losses).
This difference means that the fight against relegation is concentrated in the last four places. In addition to Levante and La Coruña, Las Palmas (18 points) and Malaga (13 points) are on the block.
To complicate matters further, coach Cristóbal Parralo could be without even four players who are considered holders for the confrontation of this Friday. Striker Zakaria Bakkalli (15 games in the Spanish 2017/2018 Championship, no goal) is suspended due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
The rest are still doubts. Depend on re-examination of the medical department. They are defender Sidney (16 games, one goal), midfielder Federico Valverde (19 games, no goal) and striker Adrian (17 matches, five goals). In addition to them, defender Raul Albentosa (nine games, no goals) is also in the ward.
Espanyol Betting Odds
Eliminated from the Copa del Rey of Spain, without having achieved a place in continental tournaments and practically without objectives in the Spanish Championship, Espanyol already entered the vacation mode. Although the threat of relegation can not be ruled out, the low utilization of the last four places makes that concern not so great.
Thus, the team is dragging through the tournament. He has not won for five games. There were two defeats and three draws. If still considered the King’s Cup, this series is extended to six games.
Coach Quique Flores, however, has a big advantage over his rival on Friday. Only two athletes are delivered to the medical department. They are reserve goalkeeper Adrian Lopez (without performances in the 2017/2018 season) and midfielder Marc Junque (four games, no goal). They are not important casualties.
History of the matches between La Coruña and Espanyol
