This is not a classic derby but it is a duel of teams that are in the relegation zone and the points in this duel are very much needed. Las Palmas is doing a bit better, because they have one point more, and this game can change all, with the proviso that safe zone is also four points away for Las Palmas before this round. Both teams are long without a win, but the negative series of Deportiva is much longer and they have not defeated anyone in this calendar year, and Las Palmas has not celebrated for six rounds. In the first part of the season it was 3-1 for Deportivo.

Deportivo La Coruna

There is lesser and lesser matches, and therefore points in the game for Deportivo, to avoid elimination from La Liga. It is a little comforting to see that Malaga is below them and that Las Palmas has only one point more, because three teams are moving to Segunda. The schedule is very difficult till the end for the team from La Coruna and if they fail to celebrate in this duel, they may already start packing their suitcases for lower rank.

A team that has not won for more than three months, does not deserve better and they only occasionally succeed to play some a draw. In the previous four rounds, they have two draws and two defeats, however, they played a draw with Espanyol and Eibar on their field and they had to win there. They were losing easily from Getafe and Girona, where they also had to do better. Coach Seedorf did not make much improvement since his arrival, and he is now without defensive player Boveda who is injured.

Probable lineups Deportivo: Ruben – Juanfran, Albentosa, Sidnei, Navarro – Borges, Mosquera, Muntari – L.Perez, Andone, A.Lopez

Las Palmas

Las Palmas is struggling with minor problems and they might eliminate Deportivo from the struggle for survival with a victory in this match, but they would still be in the relegation zone, and they also need a longer positive series by the end of the championship. They have played some games a bit better in the second half of the season and they have two wins against Barcelona, ​​however, this team was long last on the table and now they have only slightly shifted to the safe zone because of the mentioned successes.

After that draw with Catalans, they lost two games, first from Celta away, when they lost with 2-1, although they were in the lead and in the last with 2-0 against Villarreal at home, when it was all again decided in the second half. Their first striker Calleri was not in the team in Vigo, but he returned in the last round. Now, we surely do not expect defender Galvez due to suspension, so D.Garcia jumps instead, and Momo could be a refreshment in midfield. Etebo is questionable, so Aquilani could be his replacement.

Probable lineups Las Palmas: Chichiozola – Michel, Navarro, D.Garcia, Aguirregaray – V.Gomez, Etebo(Aquilani) – Tana, Momo, Halilovic – Calleri

Verdict:

The points are very important for both teams and we expect a great fight for every ball so it is pretty clear that we cannot expect a nice football match, and therefore also not too many goals. Deportivo has a slight advantage because of the home field, though Las Palmas is in better shape.
