Deportivo de la Coruña fans, known for their unwavering support on the road, are eagerly awaiting the latest fixture announcements from LaLiga. The upcoming match against Valladolid at the Nuevo Zorrilla stadium is no ordinary game, as it marks the penultimate round of the Segunda División (Liga Hypermotion). For the Galician side, direct promotion hangs in the balance, and a combination of results from the previous round (Dépor vs Andorra and Almería vs Las Palmas) could even see them secure promotion on the day of the match. The clube has now confirmed that the encounter will take place on Sunday at 18:30 local time, with live coverage on Liga Hypermotion TV.
This will be a unified matchday, as all teams still have something at stake, however remotely. LaLiga reserves the right to adjust the schedule after the penultimate round, removing teams that have already achieved their objectives or been relegated from the unified slot. In Deportivo’s case, this seems unlikely, as they will be fighting for direct promotion or a playoff position until the very end.
Beyond the promotion implications, a massive traveling contingent is expected from Deportivo fans, drawn by the proximity of the venue and the fact that the team will be vying for a crucial result against a Valladolid side that is already safe from relegation and likely to have low fan turnout. A significant allocation of tickets for the visiting supporters is anticipated.
