Leganés form and stats

6 victories, 8 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Leganés have to build on here at Estadio Municipal de Butarque in the La Liga 2. When Leganés hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Alcorcon, Amorebieta, Leganés, Lugo, Sporting Gijón, Real Sociedad II and Fuenlabrada), they have won 3 of 6 matches! In general it's been a long time since Leganés tasted defeat here at Estadio Municipal de Butarque, as they have taken at least one point from their last eleven home games in the league.

The club members are hoping that Leganés will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the game against Real Oviedo (placed 6th). Omeruo, defender, was given a rating of 7.41/10 in that game, top of the team. Omeruo won 13 of 17 duels.

Málaga form and stats

Málaga have only collected 11 points from their away games in the La Liga 2, after 2-5-10 (17 played). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Málaga have lost on their last two travels.

Málaga played 2-2 against Real Valladolid in their previous match. Drawing 2-2 against Real Valladolid after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Sáenz needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. Martín had red hot gloves after the game against Real Valladolid, shaping the outcome of the game with six saves made. Attacker Vadillo got a player rating of 8.05 in the game. "Man of the match" Vadillo scored one goal, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

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

We have checked recent matches where Málaga have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 16 games were four victories, four draws and eight defeats.

There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
