Leganes welcome the visitors Eibar in the Spanish La Liga – Round 21. The match will be held on Saturday, January 26th, at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque (Leganes).
Wins over Barcelona and Real, draws against Atletico Madrid and Sevilla – this is all we need to know about Leganes’ home performance. Hopeless on the road, they are outstanding within the comforts of the Municipal de Butarque, acknowledging no favorites there. Leganes are a typical coaching team that compete in the La Liga just for the third season, and there are chances that they will not keep their position in the elite league – despite the team’s results noted above. The hosts are hovering only two points above the relegation zone. They rarely celebrate wins, coming victorious in just in one fourth of their matches, while four of these were held at home. The team play with five defenders, their tactical scheme pays off, and they don’t allow much. Their effectiveness is not great though. Given such an impressive home record, if Leganes don’t manage to win the visitors Eibar tomorrow, they may miss crucial points in the end of the season (Eibar struggle a lot on their travels). Even considering that the hosts featured two very tough consecutive encounters against Real and Barcelona lately, in our view, they are considered favorites in the Saturday clash. We won’t bet on the 0.0 handicap, expecting that they are capable of getting a win tomorrow.

Eibar’s performance is, actually, similar to Leganes’ one. The guests are very strong on their soil. In outings though, they could win only once against Girona. The team were least effective and missed in nearly each encounter. The travelers mostly press aggressively, which brings certain concerns – they may happen to face a quick counterattack because of their defenders’ high positions. Discipline is still an issue for Eibar.
In their novel history, Leganes have never celebrated a win over their guests. This may possibly happen tomorrow. We do not expect many goals; probably, the teams will net only once. The guests often take unjustified risk. The guests, on the contrary, may be considered a neat team making not many mistakes.
Prediction for the match: Leganes to win home.
