Leganes vs Espanyol Prediction & Betting tips
The Spanish football Sunday starts spectacularly, because already at twelve in the afternoon we are presented with the relegation cracker between the gate seals Leganes and Espanyol from the Butarque. Both teams cannot afford a point loss in their fight against relegation.
Leganes:
Vice-squadron Leganes is starting to play better since the appointment of Mexican coach Javier Aguirre, but the Madrilenians have not yet managed to escape the quicksand of the relegation zone. The blue and white will close 2019 anyway in the danger zone, because the backlog at number seventeen is five points. However, a win over Espanyol is necessary to start 2020 with good spirits.
It is not going well with Leganes either. Last week the Madrilenians were well on their way to an important 0-1 away victory, but despite a handball from Alaves goal scorer Joselu, they got the equalizer in the final phase: 1-1. Earlier this season, the VAR had already targeted Los Pepineros, for example in the games against Valencia, Atletico Madrid, Levante and Osasuna. Lady Fortuna is therefore still in debt to Leganes. In terms of player material, the team with players such as Ivan Cuellar, Roberto Rosales, Oscar Rodriguez, Roque Mesa and Youssef En Nesyri is certainly no less than the competition.
Espanyol:
There is also little to enjoy at Espanyol this season. The second club of Barcelona ended last season in a creditable seventh place, but is this year with only ten points from seventeen games together with Leganes shared at the bottom. The arrival of trainer Pablo Machin has not helped, because the nine competition duels under his leadership yielded a total of only five points.
Last weekend, however, Espanyol showed in the 2-2 draw against Real Betis that we cannot write off the Catalans yet. “We have shown that we are still alive and kicking,” said spokesman and club hero Joan Capdevila. ‘We played strong, although it is a pity that we did not win. We are, however, on the right track. ” The belief in own abilities is therefore still present at the RCDE Stadium, but as long as the results are not forthcoming, the fans do not buy much for it.
