Our call

We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.

Nothing to take on Espanyol against Deportivo de A Coruña. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.

Preview

Eighth-placed Deportivo de Coruña will control this match because they create superior chances almost every week while fourteenth-placed Espanyol get out-created in most of their recent games. Espanyol are oddly poor at home and getting opened up badly, facing six or more shots on target in five of their last six matches, which is made worse by defensive absences that leave them missing five players in all. Meanwhile, the visitors are trending up and making clearly better chances than before, and though they have scored only 10 in their last eight from opportunities that usually bring about 14, their goals are coming soon. Both teams have lost three of their last six, but the hosts lack stability at the back without key defenders and midfielders, while the visitors will dominate the openings and dictate the tempo.
