Deportivo La Coruna will host Sporting Gijon at the Estadio Riazor on Saturday in the fourth round of the 2025-26 Spanish La Liga 2 campaign. The home side have enjoyed a positive start to their season and now sit eighth in the league table with five points from an obtainable nine as they target a top-half finish in their second season back in the second tier.
They played out a 2-2 draw away at Leganes last time out, finding themselves two goals down at the break before Samuele Mulattieri and Yeremay Hernandez netted second-half goals to secure a point for Antonio Hidalgo's men.
Sporting Gijon, meanwhile, have enjoyed a perfect start to their campaign and are now making an early push for the promotion playoffs. They picked up a narrow but well-deserved 1-0 victory over Cultural Leonesa with summer arrival Lucas Perrin heading home the sole goal of the contest in the 54th minute.
The visitors sit second in the league standings with nine points from three matches and will now be looking to extend their perfect record when they hit the road this weekend.
