Deportivo La Coruna vs Athletic Club Prediction and Preview – 18/10/15
Spanish La Liga preview – Deportivo La Coruna vs Athletic Club prediction
For Deportivo La Coruna, there are no major injury worries with only Fabricio out of action. There are no major changes expected for the home team. Oriol Riera is pushing for a start and could start in place of Juanfran. Laure is just a yellow card away from ban but should still start at right-back.
For Athletic, Iker Munian and Mikel Rico are definitely out with injuries. San Jose is tipped to be preferred to Ander Iturraspe in midfield. Carlos Gurpegui is pushing for a start at the heart of defence but will have to wait.

Prediction
Athletic Club came out of their wretched La Liga form in the last game with a 3-1 victory over Valencia. However, they are still way below their potential and just one point ahead of 18th placed Levante. This is the time for the club to start showing results.
Deportivo, on the other hand, are undefeated in their last three La Liga outings. With just one loss in the opening seven games, the hosts sit pretty at sixth position in the table. The home side is in great scoring form too having found the back of the net in each of their last five fixtures.
Deportivo should continue their scoring form and should easily see out the threat of Athletic.
