Atletico Madrid welcome the visitors Leganes in the Spanish La Liga – Round 27. The match will be held on Saturday, March, 9th, at the Wanda Metropolitano (Madrid).
The hosting Atletico Madrid are presently second in the La Liga standings featuring a seven-point breakaway from the leaders Barcelona; so, they cannot afford dropping points in the coming clash with Leganes. That said, three days after the home encounter, Atletico travel for the second leg against Juventus. Their 2:0 win in the first leg against the Italian toppers is hardly a great advantage, therefore, they need to save the efforts – the Champions League is crucial for them. In our view, the first half-time against Leganes will turn tough – the stats proves that: of twenty-six La Liga fixtures, Atletico were winners in the first half only six times.

The visitors on the day overcame Levante at home, 1:0, though they did not have a great advantage and the goal scored yet on the thirteenth minute was the only one produced in that clash. Leganes are presently eleventh in the table, sitting just four points off the European places, thus, their motivation is same high as their hosts’. Leganes’ first half-times are fine this campaign – they conceded only eight halves in twenty-six rounds; in thirteen outings, they conceded only three first halves. In the first-term meeting with Atletico, Leganes managed to attain one point. The normal time ended in 1:1, while in the end of the first half, the scoreline read 0:0. That said, it was in the first half that the guests had a serious advantage over the opponents.
In our view, Leganes can end the first half undefeated on Saturday. Atletico are not blistering in the first halves, so, the guests have every chance to attain some points. Our bet is on Leganes’ no-loss in the first half.
Prediction for the match: Leganes to win or Draw in the first half-time.
