Leganes - Espanyol: betting tip for the Spanish Championship match

Current form

Even before the start of the season, Leganes was considered among the main candidates for relegation, as it did not have a strong enough squad by La Liga standards. As a result, the team has been fighting a fierce battle for survival throughout the season and is approaching the upcoming match in the relegation zone in 19th position, four points behind the saving 17th line. Borja Jimenez's men are fighting to the maximum in every game, they have drawn in the last three rounds, but so far this is not enough. In the previous Primera match, Leganes took away points from Sevilla (2-2) on the road, although the opponent had the advantage in the game. Then we managed to make good use of our few attacking chances: out of three shots on target, two turned out to be scoring.

Disqualifications and injuries

Barisic, Francesa and Cruz are in the infirmary. Hernandez will serve his suspension.

Interesting betting trends

• In five consecutive matches, Leganes have drawn in the first half.
• In six of the last eight matches involving Leganes, at least two goals have been scored in the Primera

Approximate composition: Dmitrovich — Tapia, Gonzalez, Saenz — Chico, Brasanac, Cisse, Altimira — Munir, Raba, Duc.

Current form

Espanyol had a strong three-match winning streak in April, which allowed them to break away from the relegation zone. The team was not able to consistently score points on the course, and in the last two rounds there were defeats from Villarreal on the road (0:1) and from Betis at home (1:2). With 39 points, Manolo Gonzalez's team is in 14th place in the table with a seven-point lead over the relegation zone. Obviously, it will be difficult to lose such a handicap in the remaining four rounds. Espanyol is a typical home team, with only 12 points scored and a modest three wins in 17 matches played.

Disqualifications and injuries

Olivan will not play due to injury. Lozano's entry into the field is questionable. El Hilali is disqualified.

Interesting betting trends

• In three of the previous five matches, Espanyol won in the first half.
• At least two goals have been scored in seven of Espanyol's last nine matches in the Primera

Approximate composition: Garcia — Tejero, Cabrera, Cumbula, Romero — Kral, Urco, Edu–Jofre, Fernandez, Puado.
