El Barça Femení enters Riazor holding a four-point lead at the top of the Liga F Moeve standings after an intense week of domestic and European fixtures, infobae reported.
The defending European champions travel to Galicia on Sunday at 18.00 local time (17.00 UTC) to face Deportivo ABANCA, according to DXT Campeón. The squad looks to bounce back from a 1-1 draw against Arsenal FC in the UEFA Women’s Champions League at the Spotify Camp Nou, where infobae noted the side suffered from a lack of clinical finishing.
Deportivo approaches the fixture following a narrow 1-0 win over Europa in the Copa de la Reina, secured by a late goal from Marisa in the final minute, as detailed by DXT Campeón.
That victory helped the blanquiazules recover from a 2-0 league defeat against Valencia CF, leaving the team under Alberto Rodríguez searching for stability after dropping consecutive domestic matches against Valencia and Madrid CFF, as reported by infobae.

"Nos enfrentamos a uno de los mejores equipos del mundo," Alberto Rodríguez said, describing the fixture as a difficult match against elite opposition, according to Deportivo de La Coruña.
The encounter marks Deportivo’s third match in seven days following their Copa de la Reina commitments, DXT Campeón reported. Last season, the Galician side suffered an 8-0 defeat against Barcelona at the Johan Cruyff stadium under former coach Fran Alonso.
However, the squad draws defensive encouragement from their second-round meeting last term, when they held Barcelona scoreless until the 65th minute before conceding twice in a 2-0 defeat, according to DXT Campeón.
Barcelona arrives with an identical recovery timeline to their hosts after playing Arsenal on Thursday, DXT Campeón noted. The visiting side will be without Vicky López due to a renewed physical setback.
Aquestes han determinat que la jugadora presenta una reagudització de la lesió, motiu pel qual els serveis mèdics del Club han establert un període de recuperació d’entre 6 i 8 setmanes per tal de garantir-ne la plena recuperació, FC Barcelona Femení stated on X on November 13, 2026.
Barcelona enters the weekend maintaining a four-point advantage over the second-place side in the Liga F Moeve table, infobae reported. Real Madrid sits immediately behind the leaders, looking to recover ground after a 1-1 draw against Athletic Club in Lezama, while Atlético de Madrid occupies third place, four points adrift of the merengues.
On Sunday at 18.00 local time, the referee blows the whistle for kickoff at ABANCA Riazor.
