Deportivo La Coruna vs Espanyol Prediction and Preview – 27/09/15
Spanish La Liga preview – Deportivo La Coruna Vs Espanyol prediction
For Deportivo La Coruna, Manuel Pablo is the only injury absentee. The hosts come into the side on the back of a 3-2 defeat against Sporting last time out. Fede Cartabia and Luisinho will be ready for action and will be pushing to get involved.
For Espanyol, Paco Montanes has been passed fit to play but there are doubts if he would be involved from the start. Hernan Perez should start on the right of the midfield. Jose Canas and Pape Diop will battle it out to partner Victor Sanchez in midfield. Enzo Roco should hold his place at centre-back.

Deportivo La Coruna: 4-2-3-1 formation: Lux; Navarro, Arribas, Sidnei, Laure; Mosquera, Borges; Alberto, Fajr, Juanfran; Perez

Prediction
Deportivo La Coruna are still looking for their first win on home soil in La Liga this campaign. The hosts had a perfect loss less start to the season until the last round. Deportivo suffered a disappointing loss to newly promoted Sporting Gijon has bloated that record.
Espanyol got their season back on track with back to back wins against Valencia and Real Sociedad. The 9 goals conceded to Villarreal and Real Madrid seems to have been a thing of the past now. However, the visitors will be wary of their recent winless record against Deportivo in their last 3 matches.
There is nothing to separate these two teams currently, both on form and in the table. We could end up witnessing a draw between these two teams.
