RC Deportivo La CorunavsCD Mirandes

Mirandés Eye Another Win at Riazor

In the Spanish LALIGA 2 match-up between RC Deportivo La Coruña and CD Mirandés, all signs point towards another advantageous outing for Mirandés as they face Deportivo at the Estadio Abanca-Riazor. Deportivo's season has been marked by inconsistency as they linger near the relegation zone with a 2-4-3 home record and have struggled defensively, conceding in their last five matches. Moreover, they are traditionally unsuccessful against Mirandés, failing to win in the last six encounters, which include three losses and three draws.

Form and Player Analysis

While Deportivo bolstered their squad with Rafael Obrador from Real Madrid, the defensive fortifications seem insufficient given their recent form. Lucas Pérez remains a key figure, yet the inconsistency in results demonstrates that their squad is still finding its optimal form. In contrast, Mirandés is flourishing under Andoni Iraola's tactical acumen, climbing to second place this season with excellent form both offensively and defensively. Joaquín Panichelli has been prolific, scoring eight times and making him a crucial part of Mirandés’s attack.

Venue and Tactical Edge

Deportivo's home advantage at the Estadio Abanca-Riazor could be significant, though its impact is considerably dimmed by their defensive vulnerabilities at home. In contrast, Mirandés thrives under pressure, showcasing their ability to perform away, evident from their wins over Deportivo in previous meetings—a testament to their disciplined approach and effective counter-attacks.

Prediction and Betting Odds

Considering the current trends and player forms, Mirandés looks poised to edge out a victory, perhaps with a tight scoreline as both teams have scoring potential—Deportivo often finds late goals, and Mirandés scores early. Expect an exciting encounter with both teams contributing to the scoresheet. A fair betting odd price for an away win in this scenario is 2.50, with a projected BTTS (Both Teams to Score) odd being 1.80.
