Real Madrid have achieved a very respectable result when they met their arch rivals Barcelona in the first El Clasico of the season last weekend. The match at the Camp Nou saw Madrid dominate the first half was turned around by Messi and co. in the second half. Then Luiz Suarez put the Blaugrana in front which needed a dramatic equalizer from none other than Sergio Ramos in the dying seconds of the game.

Real Madrid vs Deportivo La Coruna: Prediction

Santiago Bernabeu is not a venue that Deportivo fans want to visit. It is one of the few grounds in the country where their team have suffered some heavy thrashing in recent seasons. The things won’t be different this term as well as Deportivo have struggled to find any consistency throughout the season. Their defense is leaky as well and have conceded 11 goals in the last 5, mostly against moderate teams in the league. They will be in for any heavy hammering from a Real Madrid attack who are looking in some serious form at the moment.
