Recap
Deportivo La Coruna are having an excellent season, currently sitting in 3rd place with 56 points, while Cordoba are 14th with 42 points, +9 above the relegation zone. They are relatively safe, with no real chances of reaching the playoffs nor serious relegation concerns.
Cordoba are missing as many as seven players due to injuries, suspensions, and international duty: Requena (28/2), Ortiz (18/0 suspended), Fomeyem (14/0), Mendes-Martins (10/2), Alcedo (10/0), Marin (8/0 goalkeeper) and Trilli (5/1).
On the other hand, Deportivo La Coruna are strongly pushing for promotion back to La Liga after many years, and a win here could move them into the top two positions, which guarantee direct promotion without playoffs.
They come into this match in strong form, with four wins, one draw, and one loss in their last six games, and they have been especially solid at home, winning three of their last four matches there.
Cordoba, meanwhile, are in very poor form, with six losses and one draw in their last seven matches, and they lack real motivation at this stage of the season.
