Córdoba visits Deportivo de La Coruña this Friday in a match played at the Riazor stadium, which has historically not been favorable for the white-and-greens. Throughout 18 matches in various competitions such as La Liga, Segunda, Primera Federación, and Copa del Rey, the Córdoba team has only achieved one victory, four draws, and thirteen defeats at this venue.
The only time Córdoba managed to win at Riazor was in the 2013-2014 season, also in Segunda. Despite the unfavorable statistics, the Córdoba team managed to maintain their goal intact in the last encounter against Deportivo, a direct rival in the fight for the playoffs. Currently, only three points separate both teams in the standings.
Córdoba will seek to repeat the feat from a decade ago when they succeeded in winning at this stadium, aiming to add a victory that strengthens their position in the silver category and allows them to continue in the playoff race. With 13 rounds left in the competition, the white-and-green team still has opportunities to reach the promotion spots.
In their last encounter at Riazor in the 2022-2023 season, in the Primera Federación, the result was a 0-0 draw. Although both teams were favorites to be promoted that season, neither achieved the objective. Since then, Córdoba has not managed to win at this stadium, so a victory on this visit would allow them to gain an advantage in the table and take the goal average, an important factor in case of a tie.
In the event of a tie on points, the goal average will be decisive. In the 2022-2023 season, a goal from López Silva secured victory for the white-and-green team in a previous match played at El Arcángel. Additionally, Iván Ania's boys have a lot at stake in this match at Riazor, where they seek to change the course of history in this confrontation against Deportivo de La Coruña.
