Elche will host Deportivo La Coruna at the Estadio Martinez Valero on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 LaLiga 2 campaign. The home side have had mixed results in the league this season and currently find themselves 13th in the table with 10 points from eight matches, although they remain hopeful of a top-half league finish.
They were beaten 1-0 by Racing de Ferrol in their last match, falling behind midway through the first half and failing to find a way back into the game despite an improved second-half display.
Deportivo La Coruna have had their struggles upon promotion to the Spanish second tier but continue their push for survival. They played out a goalless draw against Malaga last time out and perhaps deserved more from the game but were guilty of wasteful finishing as they recorded yet another winless outing against Los Albiceleste.
The visitors now sit in the first relegation spot with eight points from eight matches and will be desperate to add to that tally when they play this weekend.
