Match Facts:
Real Madrid (3rd, 40 pts):
- The arrival of Zidane as new first team coach has encouraged the team and the fans. His first match was against RC Deportivo at the Bernabeu, where Real Madrid won 5-0.
- The 'BBC' seems more in-form than ever. Bale, Benzema and Cristiano have scored 40 of the 52 goals that the White team have netted in Liga BBVA this season.
- Real Madrid need to add points if they want to follow in the footsteps of the two teams which are at the top of the table. Atlético de Madrid, with 44 points, and FC Barcelona, with 42, and a game in hand, are ahead of the Madrid side.
Zidane: "We need to be on our guard against Sporting, they're tough opposition." https://t.co/LGPrrrt9LX #RMLiga pic.twitter.com/2V6z9xrpty

R. Sporting (19th, 15 pts):
- Abelardo's team want and need to stop the losing streak. Sporting has added four consecutive defeats against Villarreal, Getafe, Eibar and Sevilla.
- Sporting want to give the same performance as in the opening match of the season against Real Madrid, which ended in a goalless draw. That day the Madrid team could not score against the Asturian team.
- Bernardo is a very important absence for Abelardo. The Colombian centre-back was injured against Villarreal CF. He suffers a cruciate ligament injury in his right knee, which will keep him away from the pitch for about seven months.
