Clap Your Hands Say Yeah: Deportivo La Coruna are in favour of goals tonight
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah: Deportivo La Coruna are in favour of goals tonight

"Seven of Deportivo's 10 Liga games have produced three goals or more"

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 2.6613/8 in Cordoba v Deportivo La Coruna

Tobias Gourlay hopes to see football from heaven at the Estadio Nuevo Arcangel tonight

Cordoba v Deportivo La Coruna
Friday 19:45
(Live on Sky Sports 5)

Legia Warsaw 2 Metalist Kharkiv 1 in Poland last night. The goals runneth over and our bet goes under.

There's a big bottom-of-the-table clash in Spain tonight. Cordoba, playing their first season in La Liga for almost half a century, are already onto their second coach.

Spain's only winless team recently replaced by Miroslav Djukic, whose first two games have brought a 1-1 home draw and a 4-2 defeat at champions Atletico Madrid. Together those recent results mean both teams have scored in seven of Cordoba's last nine Liga outings. Four of the last seven have got over the goals line too.

Tonight they welcome Deportivo La Coruna, also newly back in the top flight. Not-so-Super Depor have remained loyal to Victor Fernandez (for now) and hit the back of the net in 8/10 this term, seven of which have delivered Over 2.5 Goals.

Not enough to justify a punt on three goals or more tonight? Football Form Labs shows that since the beginning of 2009/10 almost half of matches involving two promoted sides have take the high-scoring route (15/31).
