Almeria will face Deportivo La Coruna at the Estadio del Mediterraneo on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 La Liga 2 campaign. The home side endured a disappointing return to the Spanish second tier but have found their feet in recent weeks, sitting 12th in the table with 22 points as they begin their push for the promotion playoffs.
They traded tackles with Elche last time out and picked up a 2-1 win with Dion Lopy and former Olympique Marseille man Luis Javier Suarez getting on the scoresheet in either half to overturn an early deficit for the Andalusian outfit.
Deportivo La Coruna, meanwhile, have picked up important wins in recent games as they look to pull further clear of the drop zone. They beat struggling Eibar 1-0 in their last match and had looked set to be headed toward a point before Mario Soriano thrashed home a late winner against the side where he spent last season on loan.
The visitors sit three points behind their weekend opponents in 15th place and will be looking to draw level with maximum points on Sunday.
