Loyal fans at Estadio Municipal de Butarque haven’t celebrated many wins this season, with Leganés struggling in the 18th spot. The visiting Huesca will hope to defend their higher league position in this fixture.

Insights:
  • Leganés have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.

Leganés form and stats

When playing at home in the La Liga 2, Leganés have managed 9 wins, 5 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 19 games.

Leganés are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Tenerife. Midfielder Neyou was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.12 (out of ten) in that game. Neyou dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 49 successful passes (of 57 total).

Prior to that, an away loss at Deportivo Alaves.

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 10 games. Leganés has won 3 of these, drawn 2 and lost 5.

It should be taken into account that a look at the 11 latest league games reveals that 9 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the sides scored).

Leganés has scored 20 league goals at home this season, in 19 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Leganés have conceded only 17 goals.

Huesca form and stats

There's been little loot from Huesca's travels as they have only collected 13 points from 19 away games in the La Liga 2. Huesca only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 10 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 14 away games in a row.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Malaga (placed 19th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 0-0. Fernández (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 7.61. Fernández saved a penalty and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Tenerife.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Huesca playing away and similar expectations, we found 10 relevant matches. Results were 2 Huesca wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats.

Low-scoring game? 27 of this club's most recent 32 league matches have contained two goals or less.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Huesca as they have only managed to score 10 times from 19 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Huesca have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
