Deportivo La Coruna take on the visitors Sporting de Gijon at Abanca-Riazor in the 4th tour of the Segunda Division. The match will be played in A Coruna on Sunday, September 9th.
Deportivo La Coruna tried hard to save themselves in La Liga last season but were relegated to the Segunda Division in the end. Now they have set the goal to compete for the highest places and for La Liga promotion for them. The Branquiazuis have already had three matches in the 2018/2019 Segunda Division season and have not lost yet. The upcoming fixture will be the first home one for the team of Natxo Gonzalez this season so they should show a great performance in front of their home crowd. They often had good home performances even against the top teams in La Liga last season. In their last three matches Deportivo La Coruna drew against Tenerife with a 2-2 score, beat Ferrol with a 1-0 score and Extremadura with a 1-0 score.

Sporting de Gijon failed in the end of last season. They have done some changes in their squad this summer and have looked almost perfect in their seven friendly fixtures. The Rojiblancos have also successfully started the 2018/2019 Segunda Division season, they have gotten seven points after three tours. Thereby the team of Ruben Baraja is on the second place in the table now. In their last three matches Sporting de Gijon beat Extremadura with a 2-0 score, Gimnastic de Tarragona with the same 2-0 score and drew against Alcorcon with a 1-1 score.
The last fixture between Deportivo La Coruna and Sporting de Gijon happened in La Liga where the Branquiazuis often came off victorious. It is likely that the team of Natxo Gonzalez will get some points in the upcoming fixture too. They have not lost in the new season yet and they are unlikely to lose in front of their home crowd.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 goals scored.
