Leganes hosts Celta in round 35 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, April 27th at Estadio Municipal de Butarque (Leganes)
Leganes is one of those teams that doesn’t need to handle any tasks in the current season. Recently, the team of Mauricio Pellegrino has shown good results, so they do not participate in the struggle for survival. Surely, you remember how difficult it was for Pellegrino to start after he returned to Spain. Nevertheless, the Argentine specialist is famous for his successful work with the middle-class teams. Leganes was no exception, and the team began to pick up gradually. A few weeks ago, Los Pepineros could already relax and finish the season at a quiet pace, because the margin of points from the relegation zone was enormous. Recently, Leganes very confidently dealt away with Valladolid and Getafe, and then it tied the game with Real Madrid. But all the rivals were motivated to meet with Leganes, because they were solving important tournament tasks. As for the Ukrainian legionnaires in the squad of Los Pepineros, namely Kravets and Lunin, the coaching staff doesn’t hurry to trust them - these players continue polishing the bench.

Of course, football fans in Vigo would have been delighted with the place, which Leganes ranks now. At the moment, Celta is experiencing far from best pages of its history. The team is balancing on the verge of relegation. Now the club from Vigo is in 17th place, having only 1 point advantage over Valladolid, which is in the “red zone”. However, a drop in class also threatens Levante, Villarreal and Girona, which also stand near Celta. By the way, Celta plays very effectively in this season - it already has 45 goals on its account, and according to this index, it is second only to the top four. Escriba’s team cannot lose points at this stage, because it may lead to relegation. It has every chance to relegate to Segunda at the end of this season. If you look at their game in defense, then such a fate would be a fair result for Celta. At the same time, it will be difficult to expect to win in the upcoming game against Pellegrino, because Celta plays away poorly. If we consider home matches, the team won 6 times, but there are only two victories away.
The first round match in Vigo ended in a goalless draw in. Despite the fact that the match was not scoring, it turned out to be quite interesting. First of all, I would like to mention a rough game − the teams earned 3 yellow cards each. In general, Celta had everything to win that match. The team possessed the ball 80% of playing time, which is rare in modern football. Moreover, the hosts shot three times more, but luck did not smile at them. It was the first draw in the history of opponents’ confrontation. Before that, they had 2 wins over each other.
In the current season, Leganes performs much better than Celta. Of course, the potential of Los Pepineros is quite modest, but at the same time, due to the game system, Pellegrino manages to hold his team in the middle of the standings. Celta is another kettle of fish; it looks much interesting in the attack. In the upcoming meeting, the team from Vigo will have problems in defense again; however, it will certainly manage to take control of the ball. Celta, which needs victory the most, will do everything to stay in the elite.
Prediction for the match: Celta to win
