Espanyol welcome the visitors Leganes in the Spanish La Liga – Round 18. The match will be held on Friday, January, 4th, at the RCDE Stadium (Barcelona).
Espanyol are having their rough times. Featuring a promising start to the La Liga, the Catalan outfit are currently struggling for survival. The league table is that tight that the hosts are only six points away from the relegation zone. Their play also leaves much to be desired. The team lost in six latest rounds. The three last home encounters also saw Espanyol’s defeats. In our view, the break will not benefit the hosts. The welcoming side will find it very hard to win over the kicking into gear Leganes.

The visitors have really gained a great shape ahead of the break. Failing the start of the campaign, Leganes have gradually found their playing style, and they have been picking up many points recently. In fact, they are just two points behind their Friday hosts, and they are also fighting for survival in the league; so, the team are in crucial need of points got even in outings against below average opponents. Leganes taste no defeat in the latest seven consecutive matches. On the road, they took points from clubs like Sevilla, Atletico, Valencia, and they won Barcelona. Does the home match factor favor the Catalan team? Yes, it does. That said, however, in five previous away matches, Leganes lost only once.
The visiting side will definitely fight for points in the coming Friday clash, and they are very capable of drawing at least. Overall, the opponents are quite equal, Leganes are considerably better than Espanyol lately though. Note that both last season’s head-to-head stakes ended in Leganes’ win, including the last one on Espanyol’s soil. As to us, the guests will not concede.
Prediction for the match: Leganes to win or Draw.
