Leganes vs Alaves Prediction & Betting tips
In the previous one, there is no clear favorite on this occasion, since both tables are tactical, harsh and highly combative between the lines. Therefore, it is logical that they neutralize in the midfield and that the process is slow in many moments of the game. Given this reality and knowing that the game will be in a neutral field, we believe that the bet “minus 2.5 goals” is more attractive to bet. Paint to be a tactical duel in which the defenses are imposed on the attacks from the initial stage. In the end, a 0-0 or 1-1 equality is expected, not ruling out a 1-0 or 2-0 victory for either side.
Leganés:
The “pepineros” reach this second preparation duel after colliding with Alcorcón last weekend (1-1 draw after equaling 0-0 until the 78 ‘minute of play when the 1-0 fell in his favor, then came the equality at 43 ‘of the second half). Little could be drawn from that friendly, since the process was quite fought from the first time. Now the objective of coach Mauricio Pellegrino is to continue to get to know his squad and try to give him an idea of his own after what was done by Asier Garitano in the 2017-2018 season. As mentioned, the preseason is being quite hard, a fact that could hinder the elaboration of goal plays. At the moment many signings have not arrived, being vital to replace the injured Szymanowski.
Continuing with the analysis, you should know that this game against Alavés will take place in Los Angeles de San Rafael, a town near Leganés. Anyway none will have the local factor, which sometimes benefits some teams in this kind of preparation matches. Being rivals of the same division, we believe that no advantage will be taken, fact that allows us to trust more in obtaining this pick. The following friendly matches will be played by the “yellow” team: Rayo Majadahonda on July 28, Olympiakos on August 1, Zaragoza on August 4 and Rayo Vallecano on August 11. Already with 6 matches on top, it is feasible that the proposal of Pellegrino technician can curdle something more. So far, only sketches have been seen from the tactical.
Alavés:
After having completed an acceptable campaign in the Santander League 2017-2018, the objective of the team is to maintain the category another year and move away as soon as possible from the direct descent. To achieve this goal, coach Abelardo is slowly gaining a name in Spanish football. At the moment you can not notice much his work, since the team is immersed in a tough preseason. If we talk about reinforcements, the leadership has not achieved too many, having to improve in this aspect. In terms of friendlies, the team drew 0-0 against Racing Santander their first preparation match, being the second against Logroñés (1-1 draw after losing 0-1 in the first half and scoring the parity at minute 17 of the second half ). Then there will be other important clashes, among which the following stand out: Alcorcón, Numancia, Oviedo, Valladolid, Real Sociedad and Huesca.
If we analyze what was done by the technician Abelardo, we tell you that he has promoted some players of the branch so that they can enroll in the first team. Its objective is to be able to renew the team and give it a touch of freshness to face all the matches that are coming. Of course, what this DT will seek is to give more football to the team, because in recent years the brand has prevailed over the development. The ideal is that Alavés is balanced between lines and that he can attack without losing his classic defensive essence. To be able to score a goal in this presentation, we believe that the stopped ball will be extremely important to consider, since his opponent is quite solid to score.
Since the two teams promoted to the first division, they have faced each other 5 times (4 by the Santander League and a friendly that was played in August of 2017 and whose final result was a 1-1 equality in regular time). The other clashes were the following: Draw 2-2 in January 2017 Alavés local, parity 1-1 in May 2017 being local Leganés, 1-0 victory of Leganés in August 2017 as local and equality 2-2 in January of 2018 being local Alavés.
