CD Leganés Review
Leganés find themselves in a precarious position, sitting 19th in the La Liga table with 31 points, four points adrift of safety. Their recent form has been concerning, as they are winless in their last eight league matches, drawing four of them . The team has struggled defensively, conceding goals in crucial moments, and their attacking output has been limited, averaging 1.15 goals per match this season .
Manager Borja Jiménez faces additional challenges with key players unavailable. Defender Javi Hernández is suspended, and there are concerns about the team's overall cohesion and morale . Despite these issues, Leganés managed a 2-2 draw against Sevilla in their last outing, showing resilience and a fighting spirit.
RCD Espanyol Review
Espanyol are in a more comfortable position, occupying 14th place with 39 points. A victory in this match could mathematically secure their La Liga status for next season, especially after Las Palmas' recent defeat
Under the guidance of coach Manolo González, Espanyol have become a more solid and competitive unit in the second half of the season.
The team welcomes back midfielder José Gragera after a long injury layoff, but will be without right-back Omar El Hilali due to suspension, with Álvaro Tejero expected to fill in . Midfielder Pol Lozano is also sidelined with an injury, and his spot is likely to be taken by Král . Espanyol's recent form has been mixed, with two wins and two losses in their last four matches.
Head-to-Head
Historically, matches between Leganés and Espanyol have been closely contested. Out of 13 encounters, Leganés have won six times, Espanyol five, and two matches have ended in draws . The most recent meeting in January 2025 resulted in a 1-1 draw. Notably, eight of the last nine head-to-head games have produced fewer than three goals, indicating a trend of low-scoring affairs .
Nowgoal Prediction: Leganés 1–1 Espanyol
Given Leganés' desperate need for points and Espanyol's opportunity to secure safety, both teams have significant motivation. However, considering Leganés' recent struggles and Espanyol's relative stability, a draw seems a plausible outcome.
