Match Facts:
Deportivo (17th, 23 pts):
- Pepe Mel has made a magnificent start to life in the Depor dugout. In his maiden game in charge, his side held one of the toughest opponents in LaLiga Santander, Atletico Madrid, to a 1-1 draw, and they followed that up with their first away win of the campaign, a 1-0 success against R. Sporting at El Molinon.
- The Galicians are unbeaten in their last four league meetings with Betis (W1 D3).
Betis (14th, 27 pts):
- There will be a real ex factor about this fixture. The visitors will be taking on their former manager Mel for the first time since he left the club, while it will also be current Betis boss Victor Sanchez del Amo's first encounter against Deportivo since departing Riazor last year.
- Ruben Castro has taken 30% of the Andalusians' shots in LaLiga Santander this term. No player in the division has accounted for a higher percentage of their club's attempts at goal.
