Leganes take on the visitors Athletic Bilbao in the round 18 match of Spanish LaLiga. The game will be played on Saturday, January 14th at Estadio Municipal de Butarque (Leganes).
Leganes fails to keep up with pace of teams in elite division. The hosting side took only two wins in their last 15 matches and they are currently on seven-match streak without victories which started back in the end of November. As the results, Leganes descended on 16th position in the standings with 16 points gained in 17 matches and only four points ahead of teams below the drop line. The team had awful away record and started to gain points at own turf just recently. Pepineros took 2-0 win over Osasuna, drew with Villarreal and Eibar, 0-0 and 1-1 respectively. Eight home matches got the team six points so far.

Athletic Bilbao are currently seventh in the league with 27 points gained after 17 matches played. The team avoided defeats in recent two league matches and may contend for a place in Eurocups for next season. However, to reach that objective, Basque side need to improve away results as they have only seven points gained in eight away matches and the most recent victory on the road was recorded back in September, five away matches ago.
Upcoming match will be the first one between the teams as Leganes never played in Elite division before while Athletic were never relegated. Of course, the visitors are much stronger side but they have tough mid-week matchup with Barcelona in Copa del Rey, which ended poorly for Basque team. In addition, Athletic aren’t strong of the road and it gives Leganes chances for positive result in this match.
Prediction for the match: Leganes to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (1X).
