Real Must Win Deportivo vs. Real Madrid Game Preview

From now on every game that's Real Madrid plays will be like finals to them. If they want to win La Liga, they mustn't lose in any of the six future games, because if they do, Barcelona will reach them and the Catalonians have better head-to-head record, wich means that they are going to take the title.

It will be very interesting for the fans to see Real's reaction after the defeat against Barcelona, and visiting La Coruna will be a robust challenge for Los Blancos.

The game against Barcelona was shocking for Real Madrid, and we saw that by the reactions of the players after the match. They were in disbelief, some of them just fell on the ground, while Cristiano Ronaldo was very very disturbed.

Deportivo La Coruna lost only once in the last 5 matches played at home. In the last two games, they kept the clean sheets, but we think that this isn't realistic for them to repeat in this match also. They are currently two places about the relegation zone, but they have 8 points more than Sporting Gijon which is the first team under the relegation line. Deportivo struggles a lot offensively as they have scored only 35 times in 33 games this year. This, however, doesn't mean that they aren't going to do it tonight.

Real Madrid has enormous problems with injuries in the defensive line, and when we add that Sergio Ramos is suspended because of the red card against Barcelona, we come to the conclusion that we will be forced to play with somebody who isn't a centre-back in order to replace suspended Ramos. Pepe and a Raphael Varane are already injured, so that means that Zinedine Zidane will have to come up with some kind of forced solution. Also, one more injury occurred, and that is Gareth Bale's. After 40 minutes against Barcelona, the Welsh superstar had to go out.

Real Madrid couldn't keep a clean sheet in the majority of the games this season even when they were playing with their strongest defensive line, and they have big luck in this game, because their opponent does not possess many offensive abilities.

In head-to-head matches, Real has nothing but wins. Many of you are remembering fireworks from three years ago when Real Madrid defeated Deportivo at Riazor with 8-, and there have been several games recently in which Los Blancos scored 5 or more goals. In the first match played this season at Santiago Bernabeu, the home team defeated Deportivo 3-2.

Considering tonight's game, we think that Real is going to win and that they will be forced to play offensively in order to cover their defensive weaknesses. Besides playing on the away team to win you should consider playing over 3.5 goals in this match.

Quite a challenging bet would be both teams to score and over 3.5 goals, and that is for you who like to play riskier.
