Real Madrid vs Deportivo La Coruna
Liga BBVA 2016/17
10th December, 19:45 pm BST
Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid
Real Madrid host Deportivo in La Liga this weekend and Los Blancos will be looking to add to their recent run of form and extend their lead at the top of the table.
Zinedine Zidane’s men were held to a 2-2 draw against Dortmund in the Champions League during the midweek and they will be hoping to get back to winning ways against a very poor Deportivo side.
Real Madrid are unbeaten in their last 26 La Liga outings and are six points clear of second-placed Barcelona.
Deportivo thrashed Real Sociedad 5-1 at home to register their first win in 7 games. They earned just 2 points from the previous 6 and lost 4 matches. They have only managed 3 wins from their 14 games so far this season and are 16th in the league table with a 1 away from the relegation zone.
Having said that, Real Madrid cannot afford to take Deportivo lightly. The last match showed that football can be quite unpredictable. The away side will be relying on their attacking talents to pull off an upset here.
Bruno Gama and Laure are the only injury worries for the away side this weekend.
Predicted Real Madrid Starting Lineup (4-3-3): Navas; Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo; Kroos, Casemiro, Modric; Ronaldo, Benzema, Vazquez
Predicted Deportivo Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1): Tyton; Juanfran, Albentosa, Sidnei, Navarro; Borges, Guilherme; Gil, Colak, Babel; Andone
