Team News

Atletico Madrid
  • Atleti suffered their biggest setback this season as they once again failed to live up to expectation in the Madrid derby and lost 2-0 at the Bernabeu.
  • However, Diego Simeone's men have been invincible at the Vicente Calderon this season, winning all 11 of their games in all competitions, and they should be confident of a return to winning ways against a struggling Depor side.
  • Simeone will be hopeful that Filipe Luis will be able to overcome the muscular problem that kept him out last weekend as Cata Diaz - who filled in at left-back against Real - will be needed to deputise for the suspended Miranda.
Deportivo La Coruna
  • Deportivo suffered the kind of defeat that often afflicts sides that end up being relegated as they fought back from 2-0 down to level at 2-2 against Real Betis before losing out to a wonder goal from Joel Campbell.
  • Moreover, they have a number of key players missing for the trip to the Calderon as Carlos Marchena and Ze Castro remain out injured, whilst Aythami is suspended.
  • Their absence means the inexperienced duo of Pablo Insua and Roderick will be paired together at centre-back, whilst Pizzi is also ineligible as he is on loan from Atleti.

Prediction

  • Atleti have something to prove once more in front of their own fans after last weekend's disappointment and it is hard to see a Depor side that have been struggling in recent weeks be the first to take any points from the Calderon with their three first-choice centre-backs missing.
  • Radamel Falcao, in particular, should fancy the prospect of facing that reconfigured backline as he has suffered a relatively fallow period with no goals from open play in his last six matches.
