Among these three matches, two ended in defeats, against Real Sociedad in the Basque Country 3-1 and last weekend at home against a Basque team, in this case Osasuna 1-2.

The starting scorer Fernandez (5 goals, 2 assists in La Liga) has only scored once in his last 8 matches. Plastered by his coach, Joseph Aidoo will not play today, nor will Sotelo and the holder Alvaro Nunez, suffering from pubalgia.
