Current Spanish top flight leaders Real Madrid CF (10-0-4, 34 points) will look to keep their undefeated status in the 2016-2017 La Liga season as they clash with lowly club Deportivo de La Coruna (3-7-4, 13 points) at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on Dec. 10, Saturday.
Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 2:45 p.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Real Madrid remained as the only unbeaten team in the league after 14 rounds of matches. The team is currently undermanned with injuries to key players such as Gareth Bale and Alvaro Morata.
Los Blancos were on a six-game winning streak before they were held to a 1-1 draw by defending champions and arch-rivals Barcelona on the road at the Camp Nou last Saturday for the first El Clásico of the current season, as per SkySports.
It was a hard-fought match right from the kick off as both teams were able to fend off the attacks of each other. The first half ended in a goalless draw for the two powerhouses, but it was Real who had the closest chances.
Luis Suárez finally broke the deadlock in the 53rd minute as he headed in a free-kick by Neymar, who was pushed down by Raphael Varane in the previous play.
However, head coach Zinedine Zidane's boys were able to salvage the draw as team captain Sergio Ramos buried his own header in the dying moments of the game as the Spanish center back was left completely unmarked inside the box.
Meanwhile, Deportivo La Coruna snapped a six-game winless slide by thrashing contending team Real Sociedad, 5-1, at their home ground of Riazor Stadium on Monday, via Sporting Life.
Deportivo striker Florin Andone led head coach Gaizka Garitano's squad with a brace in the 42nd and 77th minutes to spearhead the team's five-goal haul. Sidnei and Ryan Babel scored a goal each while an own goal by Sociedad defender Inigo Martinez was the fifth one.
