Scared for this fixture
best thing about this weekend is our rivals either playing each other or playing good teams

still we MUST NOT lose...at least a draw

[Ricardo]

Colotto is banned for this one - We should have Aythami & Lopo back.
Where is Javito and Saul.. ? we could do with one of them in right midfield. Juca or Juando could come in for A.Tomas if he is still injured.
Sand to start up front with either Michel or Lassad (if he recovers) as a second striker.

We need to keep our unbeaten run and once again fight for 95 mins.

[deporik]

Have to hope Aythami is over his gastro problems and we may need Juca AND Juando to come in.

I reckon we'll play with Lopo and Ze Castro in the centre if Aythami is still out. Ruben Perez will be a big miss in the centre and it'll be interesting to see where Adrian starts.

Ze Castro is persecuted, according to Zapping

[DepHun]

for me they are fierce rivals. let's destroy their European dreams

[tonideportivoBG]

We destroyed them on "Riazor", why we don't repeat this again?They are in bad streak 5 matches 4 lost 1 win.We are in better condition than those, hard match but we can get 1 point, maybe and 3.

i see no points at all here

Me neither, but not big deal. After such results recently, we have the luxury to got zero points there.
A defeat there, and a win, in the next game vs Levante would be perfect.

LOL!!! I'm not sure I'd use the word "perfect"

But I'd take it anyway

are you that afraid of the segunda guy (verdú)?

[Riazor warriors]

they have a solid record home but they r not that good in the last matches,so be optimistic guys & remember its the same team we won against 3-0 in the 1st round...

We have a new derby, the derby of the ambulance!

[Carril]

-Fortunately Laure's injury coincides with the return of Manuel Pablo.
-Colotto's suspension also coincides with the return of Lopo.

With all the injuries, I think we'll have a very competent lineup against Espanyol. A shame RIki is out for so long though, Lassad and Adrian will have to step it up.

Manny P shouldnt be available for this game according to the news. He might be available for Levante but not this one
