Team News

Sevilla
  • Unai Emery said he didn't recognise his team as a Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick took a resurgent Sevilla and dumped them to the ground, his side lacked a cutting-edge in the 4-1 defeat at the Bernabéu.
  • That spark might be provided by Ivan Rakitić as the Croatian returns to the starting eleven here, in place of the suspended Maduro.
  • Andrés Palop remains absent, so Beto will be between the sticks and hoping to fish the ball out if the back of the net less frequently this time around.
Deportivo La Coruna
  • It's taken Domingos Pacienda just six games to get the impression that Deportivo can't be saved, the 3-0 home defeat to Granada was the end of his short tether.
  • Following his resignation former Celta coach Fernando Vasquez will take the reins, having previously been in football exile and working as a school teacher.
  • Carlos Marchena and Manuel Pablo are suspended, with Silvio and Kaká expected to deputise, while Abel Aguilar will certainly head straight back into the team

Prediction

  • Sevilla's form has been impressive recently, and providing there are no psychological scars from their trip to Madrid, normal business should be resumed.
  • The performance of Geoffrey Kondogbia was the one shining light for Los Rojiblancos, the 19 year-old midfielder is fast becoming an impressive player.
  • Losing by 3 goals to nil will never go down well with the fans. Deportivo's fans were vocal from the start of their dislike for the Portuguese manager and Vazquez will be hoping for a less hostile reception.
