Football Results

Both teams are in the bottom of the table but Deportivo is unbeatably worse, with a series of nine games without a win and three points less than the relegation zone. Espanyol is also in the lower part of the table and they are six wins without a triumph, but they have ten points more than their host and the situation is not alarming. Deportivo was defeated in the previous three games, while Espanyol played three draws. In the first part of the season Espanyol defeated Deportivo with 4- 1 on their field.

Deportivo La Coruna

The team of Deportivo is sinking and changing their coach has not brought them much better games for now. With the arrival of coach Seedorf on the bench, they receive fewer goals and in the previous two duels since this Dutchman is on the bench, they have only received two, however, they did not score any and with two defeats of 1-0 they were left without points. Counting that difficult defeat against Real Sociedad, there have three defeats in a row and all without any goals scored.

The last win that this team from La Coruna made was in early December and they were waiting for a long time to triumph, and of nine games, two were draws and seven were defeats. In both defeats under the leadership of the new coach, they have received goals in the second half, and after a home defeat by Betis, coach Seedorf has made only one forced change due to the injury of Valverde. It is different now because Albentos and A.Lopez are both injured and will not be available, as well as the suspended Bakkali, while Sidney returns to the team.

Probable lineups Deportivo: Ruben – Juanfran, Boveda, Sidnei, Luisinho – Krohn-Dehli, Borges – L.Perez, Mosquera, Cartabia – Andone

Espanyol

Espanyol’s form is not much better, but they unlike Deportivo, are not losing lately, and now have three unresolved results in a row. The difference is that Espanyol is not under too much pressure because they are still far from the relegation zone, although they have been waiting for their first triumph since early January. Also we can say that all three draws are good, because they played first with Barcelona 1-1, then 2.2 in Vigo with Celta, and in the last round they were losing from Villarreal, but then mananaged to equalize five minutes before the end.

After a draw with Barcelona, ​​coach Flores made only one change and C.Sanchez replaced Graner in Vigo, but after that match there were a lot more changes. Navarro was left on the bench and V.Sanchez was on the right back, Jurada was absent in midfield, and with the rotation of the positions, Granero was again in the team and he is the one that brought the equalization against Villarreal while Sergio Garcia was also in the team. Now Navarro could go back to the right back, and V.Sanchez to the midfield.

Probable lineups Espanyol: Di.Lopez – Navarro, Naldo, Da.Lopez, Martin – V.Sanchez, C.Sanchez, Granero, S.Garcia – Baptistao, G.Moreno

Verdict:

Deportivo is under pressure and this is a match they should not lose. They are playing somewhat better with a new coach and we believe they will not lose, even though Espanyol is hardly losing games lately.
