The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Leganés have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won six times, drawn two 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 28 in 21 matches. From these home matches, Leganés have conceded only 12 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
