Deportivo La Coruña vs Real Betis prediction
THE FORECAST
Real Betis stands strong in third place with four consecutive wins and an impressive clean sheet streak, but with nine injured players has a seriously depleted squad and only three days of rest, which puts rotation pressure on Pellegrini's team despite twenty-one days following until the next match. Deportivo benefits from home advantage and a reasonable attacking output (1.5 gf on average), but Aubameyang's form is concerning and multiple transfers still need to settle in. The heat (max. 34.1°C) can disadvantage intensive pressing teams like Betis, which gives Deportivo space for a draw or surprise.
