Real Zaragoza vs Deportivo La Coruña Match Preview
Javier Aguirre's Zaragoza hosts Deportivo on Sunday's evening eager to escape from the basement fight and change their luck for the second half of the tournament. Having started the season in the worst possible form, Deportivo reached the 13th position with 21 points, but the gap from the risk zone might be reduced to only two units upon an adverse result in Zaragoza.
Deportivo's manager Miguel Angel Lotina will have to come up with an idea to replace key players on his squad, as Andres Guardado, Riki and Michel are all ruled out with injuries. At least Ruben Perez is likely to be among the starting eleven, just like he did during Copa del Rey's Wednesday match.
Zaragoza wants to celebrate a second consecutive victory to boost their morale and demonstrate los Maños are serious about their future in the Spanish Primera Division.
"As long as we keep up with the good work, I'm sure we'll be saved, though it won't be easy. I believe me and my fellow team mates have what it takes to survive" said Zaragoza's Ander Herrera.
A true six-pointer to decide which fight will both Deportivo and Zaragoza will be fighting in the last 18 games, who'll claim the three points?
