Prediction: 1-1
Ferrol
Deportivo La Coruna will look to record their first win of the season when they take on Ferrol in the Galician derby. Os Brancoazuis aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Real Oviedo and Huesca and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Ferrol. Jose Jurado limped off with injury in the last league match, with Omenuke Mfulu likely to replace him in the starting XI.
The visitors, on the other hand, head into the local derby following a 1-0 loss to Granada. As Ferrol are determined to return to winning ways as well, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. In their last meeting in the Galician derby the two sides played out a goalless draw, but we predict that they are going to find the net this time out. Defender Erick Cabaco remains on the sidelines with injury for the away team, while midfielder David Castro remains doubtful.
