Yvan Neyou and Seydouba Cissé are the two doubts for this match for Borja Jimenez due to muscle injuries. Cissé has not been called up by Guinea for international duty due to this injury.
Los Ches have failed to score in their last two games and will look to return to goalscoring ways. They are winless in their last seven away games in La Liga, suffering six losses, which is a cause for concern.
Hugo Duro is back from a muscle injury while Rafa Mir, Mouctar Diakhaby, Jaume Doménech, and Jose Gayà remain sidelined.
