Deportivo La Coruna will host Eibar at the Estadio Riazor on Monday in another round of the 2024-25 La Liga 2 campaign. The home side have endured a difficult return to the Spanish second tier and find themselves just one point above the drop zone at this stage of the season.
However, they secured an empathic return to winning ways on their trip to Murcia last weekend as they thrashed last-placed Cartagena 5-1 featuring goals from four different players including academy product Yeremay Hernandez, who netted the first and last goals of the contest to continue his bright start to the season.
Eibar, meanwhile, have lost their way in recent weeks after a strong start to their season and are losing ground in the race for the promotion playoffs. They were beaten 2-0 by Elche last time out and perhaps deserved more from the game but were guilty of wasteful finishing mere days after a deflating Copa del Rey exit at the hands of fourth-tier Logrones.
They sit 12th in the table with 18 points from 13 matches and will be desperate to turn a corner this week.

Deportivo La Coruna vs Eibar Prediction
Os brancoazuis' latest result ended a four-game winless streak and they will be looking to kick on from that on Monday. They are, however, winless in their last four home matches and could struggle here.
Eibar are on a three-game losing streak and have lost six of their last eight games across all competitions. They have lost their last four games on the road by an aggregate scoreline of 4-0 but should have enough to pick up a point here.
Prediction: Deportivo La Coruna 1-1 Eibar
