Meanwhile, Deportivo La Coruna occupy the 18th place in the elite division table, holding on a relegation battle. The side earned five points in eight away matches, having got one single triumph in them. Like offense, like defense stays in poor competitive shape, having scored nine and conceded 18 goals so far. “Depor” deserves three failures in its recent encounters played on the road: 0:4 vs. Barcelona, 0:2 against Sevilla and 2:3 to Malaga, having showed disastrous form.
The upcoming hosts are considered to be the favourites of the Sunday clash as they settle higher in the standings and set bigger targets, however, their current shape is not much promising. At the same time, Deportivo La Coruna have miserable chances for getting points in the fight. The latest meeting between the rivals was finished with 0:0 draw.
Prediction for the match: Villarreal to win.
