Real Madrid – Deportivo La Coruna. Alexander Vishnevskiy’s prediction

It’s a lucky period to become a new Real Madrid manager for Zinedine Zidane. The calendar is friendly for them. Some tough opponents are waiting to face the Royal club only in the middle of February. Before that, the strongest side to face for them is Deportivo. But now it is a period of emotional boost for Real Madrid caused by the change of the managers. Players usually try to show their best to a new boss.

Zidane appointment must excite Cristiano Ronaldo who was faded and tired to work with Rafa Benitez. Also, Karim Benzema will be happy because of his friendship with Zidane who helped him a lot being the assistant of Carlo Anchelotti and Jose Mourinho. Gareth Bale is fine anyway and we can expect something wonderful from James Rodriguez and Isco, who were benched against Valencia. So we are awaiting for aggressive attacking game of Real Madrid.

I wanted to bet on Real Madrid to win with over 2.5 or 3.5 goals, but the odds were poor. More to say, Deportivo are strong side who stole some points from Barcelona at Nou Camp (2:2). And I can remember epic Copa del Rey final game when Deportivo defeated Real Madrid on the 100 anniversary of the Royal club. And Zidane was there with a hit at the bar. So Deportivo can spoil the party.

I will bet on goals in the second half. The reason is on the Real Madrid’s bench. Zizou can make subs and stepped in players will have good motivation. More to say, Deportivo should be feeling tired after the break because they played in Spanish Cup in the middle of the week. So I suggest to bet on goals in the second half with nice odds.
