Deportivo v Real Madrid meet on Wednesday (20:30, UK time) in the 34th week of La Liga at Riazor. After the defeat in El Clásico, winning is the only option for Zidane’s side.
Deportivo v Real Madrid Preview
Deportivo La Coruña were struggling the whole season to stay away from the relegation area and they had to change the manager. Garitano was sacked and Pepe Mel took over with great results. The former West Bromwich Albion coach beat Barcelona and drew against Atlético Madrid. Now they are 8 points clear from the bottom three. Mosquera is the only injury concern and former Real Madrid player Joselu will be their main threat.
Los Blancos suffered a shocking defeat in El Clásico against FC Barcelona because of a late goal scored by Leo Messi. Now The Blaugranas are topping the table but Real Madrid have still in their hand the title if they win 5 and draw 1 game. The first step will be at La Coruña and without Sergio Ramos, suspended after the red card in El Clásico. Pepe is also injured, but Varane could be recovered to play with Nacho. If the French defender is not fit, Casemiro would have to play as a defender. Isco, James or Morata could have their opportunity.

The players with less minutes in La Liga are usually showing a great level when they have the chance to show up. They beat Leganés or Sporting Gijón recently and they need to win at Riazor to win La Liga. Therefore, we’re going to back Los Blancos to win, again conceding goals because Zidane’s side is not defending properly.
Real Madrid beat Deportivo La Coruña at Bernabéu (3-2) this season thanks to Sergio Ramos’ net in the last minute. Last season, Los Blancos won at Riazor (0-2) with both goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo.
