Deportivo have been in good defensive form

Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.715/7 in Deportivo v Malaga

Bottom meets second bottom in La Liga tonight and Tobias Gourlay's suggesting you find other ways to entertain yourself

Yesterday's bet was actually today's bet. So there's still time to pile into Newcastle Jets and Perth Glory. If the price is a bit short, you could even stick it in a double with this evening's wager from Spain.

Second-bottom Deportivo La Coruna welcome bottom-of-the-table Malage to the Riazor tonight and we fancy it's going to be a suitably tight six pointer, with goals at a premium.

New Deportivo boss Clarence Seedorf has made defensive reinforcements to the Galicians. They've conceded just three times across four home games under the Dutchman, with those matches delivering only five goals in total. Last time out, they drew 1-1 with third-bottom Las Palmas and we're backing Under 2.5 Goals for this one too.

Since Jose Gonzalez took charge of Malaga, the Anchovies have delivered Under 2.5 Goals in 9/11 at home and away. They've scored just twice in five on the road. But this is no recent trend. Since the start of term, they've found the back of the net in just 4/15 away from home. Twelve of those matches were low scorers overall and we're hopeful of another one today.
