Season ticket holders at Estadio Abanca-Riazor haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Deportivo La Coruña languishing in the 19th position so far. The guesting Sporting Gijón will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 258 minutes without scoring a league goal. V. Mollejo was the last player to find the net.
Coruña lost their last game at Almería (placed 3rd) after a 0-4 scoreline. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Lugo.
As you see from the result above, Deportivo La Coruña suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
