Hercules vs Deportivo La Coruña Match Preview
Deportivo visits Alicante to face Hercules, a rival in great need of the three points to remain competitive in the fight for the category. Standing at the 19th position with 30 points, Miroslav Djukic's Hercules must stop Deportivo from bagging the full scoring from Alicante by any means.
Hercules recovers midfielder Francisco Javier Farinos and defender Abel Garcia for this decisive clash, as well as French international David Trezeguet. Javier Portillo and Matias Fritzler will be making way in the starting squad to boost Hercules' attack to its maximum, joining Royston Drenthe and Nelson Haedo Valdez.
Miguel Angel Lotina's Deportivo have not been able to celebrate a single victory away in the second half of La Liga, a curse they need to break as soon as possible not to struggle until the last week to secure the permanence in the First Division.
Lotina could lose Ruben Perez and Juca, for neither of them could finish last week's training. A major clash with a major impact on the table standings no matter what happens at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez
