Bet of the Day: Deportivo La Coruna to see off struggling Girona

Depor the form side ahead of this clash

After a difficult start to the season, Deportivo La Coruna have turned a corner. Pepe Mel’s side have taken seven points from their last four games, and are on course for another three when Girona visit on Monday night.

Blanquivermell have taken just two points from their previous six league games. Their last game was a home defeat to mid-table Villarreal, who were 2-0 up inside 20 minutes at the Montilivi.

That all points to a home victory. Coral’s Bet of the Day is Deportivo La Coruna to Win at Evens.
