Match Facts:
RCD Espanyol (17th, 22 pts):
- Ending a run of three straight defeats is the priority for the Pericos, although a victory would provide a most welcome boost for coach Constantin Galca and help raise spirits at the club. The feeling is that if they can replicate the fine display they produced last weekend at Mestalla, they can claim three points this time round.
- The stats favour the Catalans, as Deportivo haven't won at the RCDE Stadium since 2007, coming away with five defeats and a draw in this period.

RC Deportivo (9th, 32 pts):
- The Galicians have drawn five matches on the spin. A game against relegation strugglers on a winless streak of their own would seem like the perfect opportunity for Victor Sanchez's side to rediscover their winning touch and rise back up the table.
- The absence of their top scorer, Lucas Perez, is a big loss. However, the blow is cushioned somewhat by the fact that Jonathan Rodriguez and veteran captain Manuel Pablo have returned to the fold.
