Espanyol vs Leganes Prediction & Betting tips
The picture “periquito” part as a favorite due to the collective and offensive potential that has, which allowed him to make a good campaign in the start of the Santander League. For this reason and knowing that he will come out with everything to win at home, we believe that his simple win is an interesting option to bet on. Remember that the “parakeets” are combative and competitive, but could end up losing by some punctual play. In the end, we trust that the Catalans will win well or badly, because they need to cut the losing streak as it is.
Espanyol:
The “periquito” team lost 1-0 to Atlético de Madrid in the Metropolitan Wanda, extending their bad moment in the Spanish tournament. He has added his sixth consecutive loss in the competition, staying with 21 points in the general table (18 goals in favor and 24 against). Gone was the good start of the season and the possibility of fighting to qualify for the next Champions League. Now the objective of the squad is to cut this slump as it is and add at least one point at least. The ideal is to win, but in times of crisis everything is well received. The most curious thing about the situation is that the Catalans have good players in attack to be able to reverse this situation.
As a local in the RCDE Stadium, Espanyol has reaped diverse results that can be framed in two stages. First achieved 5 consecutive victories to then register 3 defeats in a row (1-3 with Girona, 0-5 with Barcelona in the classic and 1-3 against Betis on the final). He has scored 10 goals and has yielded 11 on his fence, throwing overboard his good defensive work by conceding 11 goals in his last 3 appearances. Gone are the 5 games in which he kept the fence undefeated. His last victory against his people was two months ago when he beat Athletic Bilbao 1-0.
Leganés :
The box “pepinero” does not go well to this duel after equalizing 1-1 with Sevilla as a local and adding 19 units in total. The painful thing of this duel was to have given the parity with few seconds left for the final whistle. That yes, despite everything, continues to add positive results that are serving to move away from the direct decline (2 wins and 3 draws in a row in his last 5 presentations). He has scored 16 goals and has given 20 on his fence, standing out as a compact and complicated squad to overcome thanks to the harsh style of Professor Pellegrino.
As a visitor, Leganés has obtained various markers product of 1 victory, 3 equalities and 5 falls in total. He has scored 7 goals and has yielded 13 in his goal, standing out for being a combative eleven in this condition. Of course, despite this, he still has defensive problems, which increase when he plays away from Butarque. It comes from equaling 1-1 with Valencia, losing 2-0 with Levante, drawing 0-0 with Girona, outscoring Valladolid 2-4 and drawing 0-0 against Celta in Balaídos. Apparently, the performance of the team has increased significantly in their last outings, demonstrating it by adding important points in difficult fields of the Santander League.
In the last 2 and a half years, Espanyol and Leganés have met twice at the RCDE Stadium. These were the results of those duels: Victory 3-0 of Espanyol in November of 2016 and triumph 0-1 of Leganés in August of the 2017. There is no clear pattern in these two games, being feasible that the procedure is even in this opportunity . Of course, we trust that the “parakeets” cut the bad run they carry and add a vital victory from the emotional.
