Real remain unbeaten as they have won 5 of their 7 games under new boss Mourinho, but they also become far less entertaining. Los Blancos are much more solid defensively, keeping 6 clean sheets so far this season (out of 7), but their tremendous offensive line have netted only 9 times in 7 Primera and Champions League games.
The guests need to improve
Miguel Angel Lotina`s Depor need to perform better if they are to improve their 19th place in the standings. The guests are still winless in the league (3 draws, 2 defeats), and while the defense have performed acceptable, keeping the things tight (5 goals conceded in 5 games), the attack was absolute rubbish, failing to score in 4 of the 5 games. And they are unlikely to improve their scoring record against a defense who conceded just once so far.
No goal-galore
Being toothless in attack, Deportivo`s only chance is to frustrate the anxious Real attack and grab a draw. The hosts are not impressive at the moment and could be less fresh than the visitors after the Champions League trip to Auxerre. Madrid shouldn`t have problems in keeping Coruna`s attack quiet, while 1 or 2 goals would be more than enough for pragmatical Mourinho. None of Real`s matches this season ended with more than 3 goals, so I expect a similar scenario against a defensive minded team.
