Sevilla vs Leganes Prediction & Betting tips
In the fifteenth round of La Liga, number three Seville will be visited on Sunday afternoons by Leganes. Can Luuk de Jong help his team with an important home victory?
Seville:
Seville is busy with a surprisingly strong season. The Andalusians underwent a complete metamorphosis with a cartload of new players and a new coach last summer, but had hardly any adjustment problems. With four wins and two draws, Sevilla is already unbeaten for six league games in a row, and is a dangerous outsider in the Spanish title fight with 27 points and third place. The fact that the red and white played only six of their fourteen league matches in their own Sanchez Pizjuan, makes the performance of coach Julen Lopetegui’s men even more impressive.
The self-confidence is therefore high at Sevilla, which is known as one of the strongest home teams of La Liga. Last Thursday, Los Nerviones easily won 2-0 against weak Qarabag in the group stage of the Europa League. Seville has been assured of European wintering for several weeks, so Lopetegui could afford to kick off a complete B-team. Against Leganes, the usual names will appear at the kick-off, although club top scorer Lucas Ocampos (five goals) has to cancel due to a suspension.
Leganes:
With only six points from fourteen rounds of games, Leganes is still the final, but the Madrid players are certainly not playing the worst football of La Liga. Especially since the appointment of the new coach Javier Aguirre, the blues and whites go back as the fire brigade. Also last weekend in the 1-2 home defeat against league-leader FC Barcelona, the team actually earned at least a draw. Despite the disappointing results, we are certainly not allowed to write off Leganes. However, the team must train considerably in standard situations. All goals against Real Sociedad (1-1) and FC Barcelona (1-2) were the result of dead game moments.
So I still give Leganes a good chance of retention, although it is now time to actually turn her nice field game into results. However, it is not made easy for Aguirre, because he has to manage without a few strongholds in the run-up to the tough away match against Seville. Roque Mesa is suspended, while Kenneth Omeruo and Roberto Rosales are not fit. The good news is that Recio and Kevin Rodrigues are available.
