- Quique Sanchez Flores is unlikely to change too much, despite a heavy defeat to Sevilla.
- Oscar Duarte is an injury doubt, with Martin Demichelis a possible deputy for the Costa Rica international.
- Gerard Moreno and Leo Baptistao should start up top again, with the onus on improving the defensive aspect of the hosts' game.
- Weligton is still struggling with a knee problem, which should see Kone start at centre-back.
- No changes are predicted from Juande Ramos, despite a disappointing first game of the season.
- Ignacio Camacho should be fit to start consecutive games, with Diego Llorente continuing in defence.
