Team News: Deportivo de La Coruña
Looking at personnel, there is just the lone fitness concern for the Deportivo de La Coruña boss Óscar Gilsanz to be concerned about from an otherwise complete group. Dani Barcia (Tendon rupture) won’t play.
We think that Branquiazuis could line up in a 4-4-2 system for this game with Germán Parreño, Álex Petxa, Pablo Vázquez, Jaime Sánchez, Rafael Obrador, Denis Genreau, Diego Villares, Charlie Patiño, Diego Gómez, Mario Soriano and Mohamed Bouldini.

Thanks to a mainly full-strength group, there’s just the sole fitness problem for the Elche CF gaffer Eder Sarabia to be concerned with. Yago Santiago (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out for this game.
There’s a good chance that Los Franjiverdes could decide to make use of a 4-2-3-1 system, settling for Matías Dituro, John Donald Chetauya, David Affengruber, Pedro Bigas, José Salinas, Nicolas Castro, Aleix Febas, N. Fernandez Mercau, Óscar Plano, Germán Valera and Agustín Álvarez.
