Depor looking for a transition to the top tier
Las Palmas head coach Luis Garcia has created a free-flowing, possession-based team since taking over this summer.
They press high, play a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 to dictate tempo and, when they work, the wingers and number 10 can overload the midfield and create many chances.
But they can become frustrated against teams that park the bus and there is a feeling they must outclass opponents in possession to get the three points, which isn’t always possible in this division.
For our Las Palmas vs Deportivo La Coruna prediction, it is important to consider that Antonio Hidalgo has done an excellent job since taking over Depor this July and created a team with a clear identity that is a blend of possession and direct.
The Galicians will take their share of possession, but prefer to play at a high tempo and hit opponents with their pace on the counter-attack and dribbling from the wings.
In Depor’s frontline, the top scorer is Zakaria Eddahchouri, who has eight LaLiga 2 goals in 19 games.
Looking at the Las Palmas vs Deportivo La Coruna preview, Depor will be a good test for Las Palmas, who are favored at 2.11 while the visitors are 3.76 - which seems too generous. But Depor are just coming off a 1-0 away defeat, so Las Palmas is a slight favorite and Under 2.5 goals is available at 1.68.
As for the best Las Palmas vs Deportivo La Coruna betting tips, Las Palmas have more form and home advantage, but Depor’s 19 away goals tells us this should be a close game.
