Leganes welcome the visitors Valencia in the Spanish La Liga – Round 25. The match will be held on Sunday, February, 24th, at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque (Leganes).
Leganes presently sit thirteenth in the La Liga standings, featuring quite a good season. They are six points above the relegation zone so far, but the table developments suggest that they will mostly likely fight to secure their place in the elite division. The side are blistering on their soil – of eleven home encounters, they lost only one; that was the defeat to Villarreal yet in the fourth round. In the head-to-head against Valencia out, Leganes attained one point, but they could bring three, as ‘Los Che’ played back only on the eighty-fifth minute. In five fixtures, Leganes lost twice; both defeats were away against solid opponents Real Sociedad and Barcelona. As to us, in the coming home clash with Valencia, the drawing specialists, Leganes will manage to rack up points.
Four of five ‘Bats’’ latest rounds ended level, Valencia could win only once, in the Champions League trip to Celtic. In the last round at home, the guests on the day could not find the net against Espanyol, but they did not miss either. Marcelino’s men are struggling on the road – only three of eleven outings were victorious. Valencia have recently held two matches in three days – first they travelled to Celtic, then they hosted a tough match against Espanyol. The ‘Bats’’ form is not best, moreover, they had issues in the first-term encounter versus Leganes.
We tend to think that the homeside will gain at least one point on Sunday. Leganes’ home run is outstanding – the record reads their wins over the toppers Real Madrid and Barcelona, moreover, the teams like Alaves, Atletico Madrid, and Sevilla dropped points at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque. We’re betting on the hosts’ no-loss.
Prediction for the match: Leganes to win or Draw.
