forecast
Real Madrid fans surely expect with optimism debut of Zinedine Zidane led the team in the match against Deportivo.
Most fans accepted with satisfaction parting with Rafa Benitez, but it should not be forgotten that despite the legendary status of the new boss, his lack of experience at this level is a serious and there is no guarantee that the team will start winning with 4-5 goals difference as clearly wishes of supporters.
Of course it is clear that the clash with the Galicians hosts will be eager to show the best possible game and recorded handsome triumph after some unconvincing performances lately.
Expectations Zidane not to make major changes among holders as the sole Mateo Kovacic is suspended. Isko most likely will start at the expense of James Rodriguez.
Guests of La Coruna however, should not be underestimated because they have only three losses this season and are difficult to overcome. They occupy 7th place in the standings, having chances to win a place in European competition.
They have already managed to escape equality as guests of Barcelona and their only defeat away from home was in October against Malaga. However, they won just one of their last five meetings in the last round fell Villarreal at home. In the face of Lucas Perez, however, they have a striker who is able to punish any defensive blunder.
However, it is clear that Madrid is very strong favorite in the match and it would be a huge surprise if it fails to win. In the game the team is expected to have mood and guests will be extremely difficult to escape something.
