Leganes take on the visitors Lugo in the round 22 match of Spanish LaLiga2. The match will be played on Friday, January 6th at Estadio Municipal de Butarque (Leganes).
Leganes are not as good as fans would like. The Cucumber Pickers gained their notoriety in 2016-2020, when they held on for several seasons in a row in La Liga. Moreover, it wasn't enough for them to come back - in the Segunda, they first finished in 3rd position, then lost in the play-offs. This failure was, it seems, a serious blow: the next cycle ended in a modest 12th place. And, worst of all, they could not fully win back positions now. On the other hand, it also has a terrible start, with 6 defeats in 8 fights. But then Imanol Idiaquez was able to improve the situation. There was only 1 more "misfire", and that one in mid-September. After that, the unbeaten streak has already reached 10 fights. After 2-1 with Zaragoza, they managed to climb to the top half of the table, to 9th place.

Lugo engages in a familiar struggle for survival. "O Nabo Mecánico" made it to the Segunda in 2012. And, at the very least, but now they have already begun their 2nd dozen of seasons in a row. The team is very stable, it only once finished in the top half of the table there, and so it dangled between 11th and 18th place. So in the last temporade was the 16th position. Now the wards of Fran Justo go even lower, with might and main getting involved in the struggle for survival. In this regard, it turned out to win at the end of December, due to the early goal of Loureiro, having issued 1-0 with Granada. As a result, it even managed to catch up with Racing on points, but they take the “saving” 18th place in terms of additional indicators. But, most importantly, today’s visitors managed to cheer themselves up after a couple of wins over Sporting and Ponferradina.
Back in the Segunda, Leganes plays poorly with Lugo - only 1 win in 5 fights. In August, Lugo was able to win again, albeit minimally, 1-0. Leganes has gradually gained momentum, and this should now affect. We bet on his victory at home.
Prediction for the match: Leganes to win.
