The Leganés & Rayo Vallecano managers J. Martí Soler and A. Iraola Sagarna are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the La Liga 2 league table.
- Leganés has the most points (21) at home in La Liga 2
- Leganés have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Rayo Vallecano have scored away.
It's no vacation for neither Leganés nor Rayo Vallecano as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Leganés form and stats
Leganés, who have the most points (21) at home in La Liga 2, have been outstanding at home so far in the La Liga 2 with 7 wins, 0 draws and only 1 loss. Leganés has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Estadio Municipal de Butarque. We remember; it was Girona.
No payout for Leganés in their previous match, an away game at Ponferradina that ended in defeat 2-3. Ahead of that match, Leganés won a home game hosting Espanyol (2-0).
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 ten games. Leganés has won four of these, drawn three and lost three.
The Leganés fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 8 matches. Defensively Leganés have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (3 in 8 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Rayo Vallecano form and stats
There's been little loot from Rayo Vallecano's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 8 away games in the La Liga 2. Rayo Vallecano only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws.
Vallecano played 0-0 against FC Cartagena in their previous match. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Real Zaragoza.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Rayo Vallecano in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Rayo Vallecano, five draws and zero defeats.
After this away game Vallecano return home for a La Liga 2 game against UD Logroñés. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Rayo Vallecano as they have only managed to score 5 times from 8 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 9 goals have been conceded by Vallecano in these games.
