Getafe vs Deportivo La Coruna Prediction and Preview – 30/12/15
La Liga preview – Getafe vs Deportivo La Coruna prediction
Emiliano Velazquez has returned to training with Getafe after being out with a hamstring injury for the past month. The Uruguayan defender will be competing with Santiago Vergini for a place in central defence where Alexis and Juan Cala have been preferred lately. Emi Buendia sprained his knee while celebrating his birthday on Christmas Day and is doubtful. Alvaro Medran is a long term absentee on the road to recovery from a broken shinbone.
Deportivo have a number of personnel issues. Luisinho is definitely out after getting booked twice in the last game. He joins Celso Borges, Alberto Lopo and Fabricio on the missing list while there are doubts surrounding another five members of the squad. Top scorer Lucas Perez and wide man Luis Alberto must wait on fitness tests while it is uncertain if Laure, Jonas Guitierrez and Oriol Riera will be able to take part.
Possible Line-ups
Getafe: 4-2-3-1 formation: Guaita; Suarez, Alexis, Cala, Lago; Lacen, J Rodriguez; Sarabia, V Rodriguez, Lafita; Vazquez
Deportivo: 4-2-3-1 formation: Lux; Laure, Sidnei, Arribas, Navarro; Mosquera, Bergantinos; Juanfran, Fajr, Alberto; Perez

Prediction
Getafe are looking over their shoulders at a relegation fight. Coach Fran Escriba has managed to steady the ship of late and a 4-1 loss at Real Madrid is the only defeat in the side’s last five league games. Winning remains a problem, Getafe have drawn their last two league matches despite being ahead in both games against Real Sociedad and Valencia.
Sixth-placed Deportivo are challenging for a place in Europe and have gone seven games undefeated in La Liga. Four of those games have been draws and Deportivo have only registered one win from the last five away games in the league. Lucas Perez has scored in the last seven league games and his participation could be key to the outcome on Wednesday.
Here are two teams that have shared the points more than they have won or lost in recent games so the tip is to stay with the trend and back the draw.
