Leganés form and stats

Leganés have performed here at Estadio Municipal de Butarque this season with 8 wins from 10 La Liga 2 matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 0 games and lost 2.

It's back home for Leganés, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Socuellamos away with the result 2-0. Kevin Bua and Miguel De La Fuente found the net in that victory. Before that, Leganés played out a La Liga 2 draw 0-0 when visiting Fuenlabrada.

This is expected to be a close game, with Leganés perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Leganés as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Leganés has won five of these, drawn three and lost four.

Leganés are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 10 games. Leganés have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 4 goals.

Almería form and stats

Almería's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Almería collect 21 points from their 10 away matches in the La Liga 2. 7 victories and 0 draws have created these points (and only 3 defeats).

It's the second away game in a row for Almería, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Numancia in the Copa Del Rey last time out. Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Ponferradina in the La Liga 2.

The end of the last match, against Numancia, was very satisfying as Lucas Robertone scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Almería playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were six Almería wins, four draws and four defeats.

Almería find the net regularly in their away games. 13 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. Almería are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 9 times in 10 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
