On the opposing side, Deportivo La Coruna arrives at the match dealing with notable squad limitations. Their recent 1-1 draw with Levante showed defensive resilience, but ongoing attacking absences have hampered their offensive output in recent weeks.

Rayo Vallecano and Elche Put Unbeaten Runs on the Line
Elsewhere in Spain, Rayo Vallecano and Elche will put their recent three-game unbeaten runs to the test when they clash on Saturday. The home side comes into the contest following a 1-1 draw against Getafe, while Elche played out a scoreless stalemate with Villarreal in their previous outing.
Both clubs display solid organizational form heading into the weekend. While the match is expected to remain tightly contested, analysts suggest that home advantage could provide Rayo the necessary edge to secure all three points in a predicted Rayo Vallecano 2-1 Elche result.
Racing de Santander Seeks Improvement Against Espanyol
At Campos de Sport de El Sardinero, two sides searching for consistency will lock horns as Racing de Santander welcomes Espanyol. Both clubs currently sit near the lower half of the standings, with Racing occupying 17th place and Espanyol sitting 16th, each holding eight points from their opening nine matches.
Neither side has established reliable momentum this season, leading analysts to forecast a closely fought contest. With both teams possessing some capability in the final third, a low-scoring draw appears the most likely outcome, with a Racing de Santander 1-1 Espanyol scoreline anticipated by observers.
Valencia and Villarreal Meet in Regional Showdown
Valencia and Villarreal will both target a return to winning ways when they face off on Saturday afternoon. Los Che enter the contest following a goalless draw with Athletic Bilbao, while Villarreal played out a goalless draw with Elche in their last fixture.
Valencia will be the fresher of the two teams on Saturday, but Villarreal can call upon a lot of quality, and analysts tip the Yellow Submarine to shade a close match, projecting a Valencia 1-2 Villarreal final score.
