Internacional de Madrid vs Deportivo La Coruna tips and predictions

Deadlock beckons as unfancied hosts can share the spoils

There's not much up for grabs in the 1X2 odds and the short price for Deportivo La Coruna renders them unbackable. Internacional de Madrid don't look likely to get the win but they might keep the visitors on their toes. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to go mad about.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. Looking secure clearing their lines Internacional de Madrid haven't conceded at all during their latest 3 matches and Deportivo La Coruna have only conceded 0.7 goals per game on average in their last 12 away matches.

The betting markets suggest that at least one of these sides will keep a clean sheet because of the favouritism for Deportivo La Coruna. In the Both Teams To Score market, the No option is advised.

Internacional de Madrid have drawn 9 of their last 19 matches on their own soil, including their most recent match when they drew 0-0 with Ferrol earlier this month. Deportivo La Coruna have drawn 7 of their last 20 matches on the road. To wrap this up there is nothing to like about the home or away win odds, so the draw warrants consideration. Deadlock is the pick after what looks set to be a low-scoring affair.
