Contending squad Deportivo La Coruna (5-2-6, 21 points) will play middling team Sevilla FC (5-5-3, 18 points) in a 2015-2016 La Liga season game at the Estadio Municipal de Riazor on Saturday.
Deportivo is coming off a 2-0 victory over bottom-three squad Las Palmas at the Estadio Gran Canaria last Saturday to extend their winning run to two games, as reported by SkySports.
The game's scoring was opened by an own goal from Las Palmas defender David Simón at the 19th minute before Spanish winger Lucas Pérez Martínez netted a second during injury time to seal the win for Víctor Sánchez's boys.
With the win, Los Turcos had overtaken Villarreal for the fifth spot in the league table.
Meanwhile, Sevilla continued its up-and-down campaign in the season with a close 1-0 escape against Valencia on Sunday at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, via Goal.
Despite Valencia's two-man disadvantage, Unai Emery's men were able to score only once in the match courtesy of a left-footed strike from defender Sergio Escudero at the 50th minute.
The Sevillistas have alternated winning and losing in their last five matches, enough to stay in the middle of the overall standings at the 10th spot.
The game will be tough and hard-fought, but Brancoazuis will come out on top in a close game to continue Los Rojiblancos alternating pattern.
The predicted result is a close 2-1 win for Deportivo La Coruna.
Deportivo La Coruna starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Lux; Juanfran, Arribas, Sidnei, Navarro; Cani, Bergantinos, Mosquera, Luisinho; Rodriguez, Lucas
Sevilla starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Rico; Mariano, Rami, Kolodziejczak, Escudero; N'Zonzi, Krychowiak; Vitolo, Banega, Konoplyanka; Llorente
