Deportivo hoping to avoid heavy Barcelona defeat

1 month ago  Raphael   Sport News

New Deportivo coach Pepe Mel will have to draw up quite the plan to stop a euphoric Barcelona, on the feet of their incredulous and historic comeback, from picking up all three points at the Estadio Riazor on Sunday afternoon.Depor haven't competed with Spain's big two when they visit Galicia, so Mel's side will be most of all looking to avoid another heavy defeat and improve on the team's image in these important matches.Last season, Barcelona emerged with an easy and confidence restoring 8-0 win away from home, whereas Real Madrid won 8-2 at Riazor in 2014/15.In their last four games at home against the big two, Depor have scored only twice and conceded 22 times.Strangely enough, Deportivo do score well away from home against the duopoly, earning memorable draws that have changed the course of LaLiga title races.Pepe Mel has given his side a considerable boost since being appointed coach, and he will have to rotate his side against the Blaugrana, as Sidnei is missing through injury and Pedro Mosquera and Florin Andone are suspended.
