Deportivo La Coruna - Almeria Spain - Primera Prediction

Deportivo La Coruna - Almeria
22.04 20:00
After four matches where Deportivo La Coruna haven’t managed to get a win, they finally celebrated in Basque against a very tough opponent – host Bilbao by 1:0. Their hope they’ll be eligible to play in Europe next season has come back after that match. Deportivo are now only 3 points behind the 6th placed Villareal, which is very small and reachable difference. The players would have to keep their great mood after a win against Athletic Bilbao, which is where their confidence was brought back to normal, so at home they will have to beat the weak guests, Almeria squad. Their team will be complete, so they will field the strongest squad possible. According to some Deportivo’s players’ words, they’re stating there is a good team atmosphere in their club, and they’re very eager to get back to good form and believe they’re close to doing that. They got no choice, and have to go for a win and if they repeat the game from the last round, they will have no problem getting it.
Close to avoid relegation
Almeria have almost surely secured their status in Primera for this season primarily thanks to their great performances at home. However, not all is over yet cause their advantage over the first relegation candidate is only 7 points. They’re playing really poor away from home, and usually make up for all the losses at home and if they continue playing that way they will stay in the league with no problem. After beating Osasuna in the last round, this team’s players believe they can get a surprise in La Coruna. They’re aware their rival will have an imperative to win and that they will hardly get any positive result at Riazor. But, they won’t come with the white flag regardless of the fact the away games have been a nightmare for them this year. Sevilla, Real and Mallorca respectively have beaten them at their home grounds. Deportivo are also a very solid host and it’s really questionable whether Almeria can put up any kind of tough resistance at this match. They are expecting a bit calmer ending of the season unlike the teams below them in the standings, but with such a poor game they will have to fight hard until the end.
The hosts have more quality
I don’t doubt at all Deportivo are a more quality side than Almeria. Regardless of good home games by Almeria, this team is playing pretty poor in general and usually gets good results cause of the home crowd boost they’re getting. However, away from home is a completely different story and they got no one to rely on throughout their matches, and that’s why one can see their quality really easy. These two teams’ ambitions are completely opposite and I expect a win of the more quality hosts, who will also get a great support at their Riazor stadium.
Tip: Deportivo, Odds 2.1
