Match Facts:
Deportivo (16th, 32 pts)
- Depor hold the upper hand in the sides' previous meetings at Riazor, with the hosts having prevailed in five of the last seven clashes against the Catalans on their own patch.
- The A Coruña outfit have the chance to assure their LaLiga Santander status here, with Pepe Mel's charges in need of a point to secure survival.
Espanyol (9th, 50 pts)
- Los Pericos are riding a three-game winless streak and simply must get back to winning ways as they bid to reignite their faint hopes of securing a European finish.
- The visitors' coach, Quique Sanchez Flores, has emerged victorious in four of his last five managerial visits to Riazor in LaLiga action, with the solitary defeat in this sequence coming when his Atletico Madrid side went down 2-1 in the 2009/10 campaign. This fixture represents a maiden battle in the dugouts between these two Madrid-born tacticians, with Sanchez Flores and Mel bidding to outwit each other for the first time in their careers.
