Deportivo La Coruna vs Espanyol

24/2- Deportivo La Coruna are having a shocker of a season, the side was never expected to win the Spanish title but no one would have thought of the side being relegated but due to a highly disappointing season Deportivo find themselves on the 18^th position and also face the threat of being relegated. In an attempt to survive and continue their run in the top division they play hosts to Espanyol this week. Both teams are in equally bad form and enter this match after losing their last week matches. Espanyol are on the 5^th spot and the biggest reason for such a high spot is their performance in the beginning of the season which was absolutely great. Both teams had met earlier this season and Espanyol won the match while playing at home. But a look at the overall record between both the sides suggests a different story and Deportivo are the dominant side by far but the football they have displayed this season is way off their potential and hence the record might be just the glory of the past and might not have any impact on the match.

Both teams are desperately searching for points and that would make the contest even more interesting. Espanyol lost the last match they played against Sevilla at home and that would have dented their confidence to an extent but the strong point of their game this season has been their performance away from home and that is something they would like to capitalize on in this match.

Deportivo on the other hand have been the worst performing team when it comes to the performance at home this season and the fans would be hoping that their team can do something to change that this time.

Prediction: 0-2, Espanyol win
