Leganes vs Espanyol Prediction & Betting tips
In her last home game of this season, Leganes will play against Espanyol on Sunday evening. The home club is already safe and therefore only plays for the sporting honor, but the visitors are still in the race for European football.
Leganes:
There is a positive and optimistic atmosphere in and around the Butarque in Madrid. Logical, because thanks to the equally handsome and beautiful 0-3 victory, Leganes is definitely assured of a fourth season at the highest level in a row. The team of coach Mauricio Pellegrino had its peaks and troughs this season, but it didn’t have to seriously fear relegation.
Leganes is therefore safe, although Pellegrino is not yet completely satisfied: ‘We want to take another step this season by achieving a minimum of 48 points. That was our goal from the start of the season. ” At the moment the Madrid counter is at 45 points, so with a win at Espanyol the coach can finally laugh. Pellegrino is in any case satisfied with the progress of his team, because this week he extended his contract until the summer of 2021. Great news for everyone who supports Los Pepineros, because this coach knows how to get the most out of his player material.
Espanyol:
The fans of Espanyol are facing an exciting final phase of the season, because with only two rounds of play ahead, the Catalans still have a chance to win European football. However, everything must be okay, because in order to actually be allowed to cross the border, the blue and white will first have to go past Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad on the rankings. However, there is great confidence in the RCDE Stadium. Defender Naldo: “We had a strong final sprint last season, so why wouldn’t we succeed again?”
Despite Catalan optimism, I think Espanyol will narrowly seize European football. The main reason is the poor results outside the home, because with only two wins in eighteen matches they are not to write home about. Yet the future looks bright. Players like Adria Pedrosa, Mario Hermoso, Oscar Melendo and Marc Roca are still young and will continue to form the foundation at Los Pericos in the coming years. Borja Iglesias also has an excellent debut season at the highest level with fifteen goals, and Chinese striker Wu Lei keeps millions of countrymen glued to the TV every week and is a player to keep an eye on, both financially and sportingly.
