Venue: Estadio Municipal de Butarque (11454 seats)

The season is still fairly new and the La Liga 2 table has to be read with caution. So far Leganés find themselves in 8th position and Girona are placed 22nd.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Leganés form and stats

Perfect La Liga 2 season at home so far for Leganés 2 wins from 2 appearances. Leganés has recorded two wins in a row here at Estadio Municipal de Butarque, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

In their previous game, the manager J. Martí Soler led his Leganés to a defeat in the La Liga 2 match away at Castellón. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Municipal de Butarque. Before that, Leganés had a home game versus FC Cartagena which ended with a victory 3-1.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Leganés matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, zero draws and zero defeats (from one game).

Leganés has scored 4 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Girona form and stats

Girona have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the La Liga 2 were 3 victories, 7 draws and 11 defeats from 21 fixtures.

Girona are looking to quickly end their 366 minutes long goal drought in the La Liga 2.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a La Liga 2 home defeat versus Fuenlabrada with 0-1 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Sporting Gijón wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Girona playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and two home wins.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Girona has managed 0 goals and let in 2 from 1 match.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Leganés, four draws and four wins for Girona. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
