Crucial duel in the bottom part of the La Liga 2, with both Huesca and Leganés enduring more distress than happiness. This fixture is a classic "six-pointer" with the host team at 15th and the visiting team in 18th position.

Insights:
  • Leganés have lost all their away matches so far.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

L W W L L

Huesca form and stats

Huesca have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the La Liga 2. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. When Huesca hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like UD Ibiza, Huesca, Tenerife, Lugo, Mirandes, Racing Santander and Malaga), they have won 2 of 2 matches! Two home wins in a row for Huesca bring valid hopes of a third.

No payout for Huesca in their previous match, an away game at Deportivo Alaves that ended in defeat 1-2. Rațiu was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.35 out of 10. The defender Rațiu hit two key passes and won 14 of 19 duels.

Ahead of that match, Huesca won a home game hosting Malaga (1-0).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Huesca have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 11 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 6 and lost 3.

Huesca has scored 6 goals so far and conceded 3 goals from 3 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Leganés form and stats

It's not happening yet for Leganés on their La Liga 2 travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Leganés's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Leganés have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 180 minutes ago. Jose was the goal scorer.

Leganés delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Burgos (placed 6th) in their previous fixture. Sáenz, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.41. Sáenz won 9 of 13 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Las Palmas wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Leganés playing away and similar expectations, we found 10 relevant matches. Results were 1 Leganés win, 5 draws and 4 defeats.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Leganés has managed 0 goals and let in 3 from 3 matches.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head numbers (for the previous eight meetings): Huesca won three games, one match ended with a tie and Leganés managed four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / five.
