Competition: Spanish Segunda
Market: Goal to be scored in both halves
Odds: 19/20 @ 1xBet
In what could prove to be an action-packed Segunda finale on Sunday evening, Deportivo will welcome Las Palmas to what will be a lively Riazor.
Starting with the hosts, while Deportivo might have found themselves at the heart of a public relegation scrap last season, La Coruna have embarked on an iconic Segunda fairytale this time around. Already storming their way to a famous La Liga return, Antonio Hidalgo’s side also open their finale on Sunday evening sat two points adrift of leapfrogging Racing Santander and being crowned as Segunda champions this weekend. Last seen putting in another dominant display as they secured a deserved 2-0 win away at Real Valladolid, the Galicia-based outfit have rightfully received a string of plaudits from across Spain. Likewise, getting May underway with a 2-1 victory against Leganes, Deportivo have won all of their previous four consecutive Segunda appearances by an aggregate score of 7-2. Likewise, along with registering 13 points from their last five outings and with a real party atmosphere in their camp, La Coruna have not suffered a single defeat across any competition since the start of March.
As for the visitors, losing their La Liga status last season, Las Palmas have their sights set on securing an immediate top-flight return this time around. Opening their finale on Sunday evening holding a one-point advantage in the play-off chase, the Yellows are desperate to drag themselves over the finishing line. Despite putting in a season-worst performance earlier in the month as they slumped to a remarkable 5-1 drumming against Andorra, that is the only defeat that Luis Garcia’s side have suffered from their last six Segunda appearances. Clinching consecutive 2-1 victories against Cadiz and Real Valladolid on either side of opening May, Las Palmas are looking to collect a heavyweight scalp here. However, Garcia’s side have largely struggled to find any real defensive grit over recent times. In fact, Sunday’s guests have recorded just a sole clean sheet from their previous eight Segunda appearances – a run that stems back to April 2nd.
