Team News
Deportivo
Espanyol
- Deportivo were denied an eighth straight match unbeaten as Nélson Oliveira wrongly had a goal disallowed for offside in the 1-0 defeat to Valladolid.
- Riki will likely continue his role as the lone centre forward, meaning a place on the bench for Olivera.
- Head coach Fernando Vázquez will likely field an unchanged starting XI for the welcome of Espanyol, with Laure, Carlos Marchena, Abel Aguilar and Diogo Salomao all sidelined with injury.
- Espanyol secured an impressive point in the 1-1 draw with Real Madrid, hanging the La Liga title to rivals Barcelona, and will look to draw on the confidence attained from that result for the trip to the Estadio Riazor.
- Samuele Longo and Felipe Mattioni are both ruled out with injury, while Joan Capdevila is suspended for the encounter.
- The midfield pivot will have a very different look to it, with suspended duo Juan Forlín and Víctor Sánchez expected to be replaced by Raúl Baena and Sergio Tejera.
My prediction: 1-0
Triple combo bet = Deportivo-Espanyol Over 2,5 goals, Cagliari-Lazio Over 2,5 goals, Atalanta-Chievo Atalanta wins.
