Valencia vs Deportivo Prediction, Betting Tips and Preview
Valencia take on Deportivo La Coruña in a live La Liga match this Sunday evening. Read the match predictions to find out why a home win is the betting tip at the Mestalla. Valencia signed off for the international break with a spirited effort despite losing 4-2 away to Barcelona. Meanwhile, Deportivo lost 0-1 at home to Celta Vigo.
Valencia vs Deportivo Preview
Valencia will be without Eliaquim Mangala through suspension after the defender was sent off against Barcelona. That should see a recall for Aymen Abdennour alongside Ezequiel Garay at the heart of defence. Rodrigo Moreno and Nani will miss this game through injury. Simone Zaza is capable of producing something from nothing and could be the player to watch up-front for the hosts.
Deportivo also have a player suspended but Fernando Navarro returns from a ban to deputise for Luisinho at left-back. Sidnei should be fit to start after recovering from a muscle problem but this match could come too soon for Gael Kakuta. Pedro Mosquera is still injured, so Alex Bergantinos will continue in midfield.
Team Predictions Valencia vs Deportivo
Valencia 4-3-3 formation: Alves; Gaya, Garay, Abdennour, Montoya; Parejo, Perez, Soler; Orellana, Zaza, Haddadi
Deportivo 4-4-2 formation: Lux; Navarro, Albentosa, Sidnei, Juanfran; Fajr, Bergantinos, Santos, Gil; Joselu, Andone

Valencia vs Deportivo Prediction
Valencia sit three points ahead of Deportivo and just nine away from the relegation zone. Los Ches have avoided defeat in their last two home matches, beating Leganes 1-0 and drawing 1-1 with struggling Sporting Gijon. They’ll be hoping to do the same here to avoid getting sucked back into trouble.
Deportivo showed that they can turn it on against the big teams when beating Barcelona two games back but have so often failed to perform at those levels with any consistency. Losing the Galician derby to Celta Vigo marked the first defeat under new boss Pepe Mel but a glance at Deportivo’s away form suggests they may struggle to bounce back here.
The last few meetings between these sides have been tight, with three draws in a row. There have also been under 2.5 goals in each of the previous four meetings. I can see Valencia having the edge here with their home advantage and tip them to win by the odd goal in three.
