Preview: Deportivo La Coruna vs. Real Madrid

La Liga basement club Deportivo La Coruna face a tough test against Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid this weekend.

Fernando Vazquez's side go into the match in atrocious form, losing their last five games on the bounce and lying eight points adrift of 17th-placed Real Zaragoza.

Barcelona may have run away with the league title, but Mourinho's side are determined to gain ground on city rivals Atletico Madrid, who sit four points above them in second.

Real are the hot favourites, having lost just once in their last six and already thrashed this weekend's opponents 5-1 earlier in the season.
