In the 90s and 00s, Deportivo La Coruna was among the top Spanish teams, but their fortunes took a downturn when they were relegated to the third tier of Spanish football a few years back. As they entered the 2023/24 season, they were eager to claw their way back to La Liga 2. However, after 17 league rounds, they are currently in 7th place with 26 points. Despite this, La Coruna has been showing signs of improvement, remaining undefeated in their last six league games. They managed a 2-1 victory against Arenteiro in their previous match, despite trailing initially. The team, under the guidance of Imanol Idiakez, displayed impressive play in the second half, securing a crucial win that propelled them to within three points of the playoff zone.

Real Sociedad B, established 68 years ago, has predominantly competed in the third and fourth tiers of Spanish football. However, they briefly played in La Liga 2 in the 2021/22 season but were relegated after just one season. They are currently back in the third tier, battling for a promotion. Currently, they stand fourth in the league with 30 points, trailing the leader, Celta Vigo B, by five points. Sergio Francisco’s squad haven’t managed to secure a win in their last three matches. Their most recent game against Real Union ended in a 2-2 draw at home. Despite being the favourites, they underperformed and only managed to earn a single point. Following their disappointing performance, Real Sociedad B will face a substantial challenge in their upcoming match against Deportivo La Coruna, testing their confidence.
