Leganés form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Estadio Municipal de Butarque as Leganés have scored 27 goals to get 45 points from 20 games. The overall stats in the La Liga 2 are 14-3-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Nothing to worry about in defence for Leganés, as their goalkeeper Asier Riesgo Unamuno has completely shut out the opponents for 212 minutes in the La Liga 2.

Leganés shared the glory with Mirandes in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. Sergio González was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.42 out of 10. The defender González hit one key pass and won 11 of 15 duels.

Before that, Leganés had a home game versus UD Logrones which ended with a victory 3-0.

Leganés are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 27 goals in 20 games. From these home matches, Leganés have conceded only 12 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Málaga form and stats

8 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses. That’s the product of Málaga playing as the away team in the La Liga 2 this season. Málaga seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

D. Lomban was the last player to score for the away team. Málaga haven't scored a league goal in the last 260 minutes.

The manager S. Pellicer García was unhappy after their last game, a La Liga 2 match played at their home ground Estadio La Rosaleda. Málaga suffered a 0-1 loss to Girona (placed 5th). Juande Rivas, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.34. Rivas won 2 of 2 duels.

Prior to that match, the Málaga manager S. Pellicer García faced defeat when travelling to Real Oviedo and losing 0-1.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Málaga as they have only managed to score 17 times from 20 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 24 goals have been conceded by Málaga in these games.
