Deportivo La Coruña vs Real Sociedad Match Preview
Martin Lasarte's Real Sociedad needs the full scoring this week in La Coruña to take full advantage of Sevilla's misstep in San Mames' Cathedral. Eight points separate Deportivo from Real Sociedad in the table standings, but is yet to see what's the difference as both teams lock horns at the Riazor.
Former Boca Juniors' winger Claudio Morel recovered on time for the clash and is expected to lead the advance from the right wing from the first minute on, unlike Deportivo's defender Alberto Lopo, who misses the game due to disciplinary action.
Ruben Perez and Antoine Griezzmann return to their respective teams, and their performance in the midfield will surely have a major impact in the development of the game.
Real Sociedad wants to claim the last points needed to secure their permanence in the Primera Division, while Deportivo wants to celebrate its first victory after three consecutive draws.
