Deportivo La Coruna vs Real Madrid Prediction and Preview – 14/05/16
La Liga preview – Deportivo La Coruna vs Real Madrid prediction.
Lucas Vazquez suffered a knee injury in the 3-2 victory against Valencia at the weekend and won’t make the trip to A Coruna. Gareth Bale sat out the match on Sunday with a knee problem and is considered doubtful. Goalkeeper Kaylor Navas and midfielder Luka Modric were also left out as precautions last weekend but are available if Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane wants to risk them.
Deportivo full-back Fernando Navarro and midfielder Celso Borges are available after being suspended for the match at Villarreal on Sunday when Victor Sanchez’ men became mathematical certainties to avoid relegation. Central midfielder Juan Dominguez looks unlikely to play a part after sustaining yet another injury in a troubled season he will be glad to put behind him. Regular goalkeeper German Lux remains sidelined and Manu will continue between the sticks.

Deportivo La Coruna 4-4-2 formation: Manu; Laure, Arribas, Sidnei, Navarro; Cartabia, Mosquera, Borges, Fajr; Alberto, Lucas
Real Madrid 4-3-3 formation: Navas; Danilo, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo; Kroos, Casemiro, Rodriquez; Ronaldo, Benzema, Jese
