Sporting Gijon vs Deportivo La Coruna Prediction 28.03.2026 | Segunda Division

Entering Matchweek 32, Sporting Gijon find themselves positioned ninth in the Segunda División standings, sitting five points adrift of the final playoff spot following a narrow 1-0 defeat to Las Palmas, a result that once again underlined their ongoing struggles for attacking consistency.

Under the guidance of Borja Jimenez, the Asturian outfit have developed a reputation as something of a “Jekyll and Hyde” side; while their emphatic 4-1 dismantling of Castellon earlier this month showcased their offensive potential, the Rojiblancos have frustratingly failed to find the back of the net in three of their last four league outings.

Despite their shortcomings in the final third, Sporting remain a formidable force on home soil, having suffered just three defeats in front of their Asturias supporters all season, a record they will be eager to preserve on Saturday evening if they are to keep their promotion ambitions within touching distance.

There are, however, concerns on the team news front, with Uruguayan forward Andres Ferrari a major doubt after missing the previous league clash through injury, while midfielder Nacho Martin and first-choice goalkeeper Ruben Yanez are both expected to remain sidelined.

Meanwhile, Deportivo La Coruna make the trip to Asturias as arguably the most clinical outfit in the division, currently occupying an impressive 2nd place and applying steady pressure on league leaders Racing Santander, largely thanks to a string of commanding displays throughout March.

Since the turn of the month, the Herculeans have secured three victories from their four Segunda Division outings, most recently edging past relegation-threatened Real Zaragoza in a hard-fought 2-1 triumph, a result that underlined both their resilience and growing credentials as serious contenders for automatic promotion.

Under the guidance of Antonio Hidalgo, the visitors will be confident of rounding off their March schedule on a high note, drawing further belief from the fact that they boast the strongest away record in the division, having emerged victorious in four of their last five matches on the road.

However, there remain a few selection concerns, with key figures Miguel Loureiro and David Mella both doubtful after missing the previous two league fixtures through injury, while experienced forward Stoichkov will be unavailable for Saturday’s clash as he serves a one-match suspension due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
