Both Leganés and Tenerife are desperate for points in this match, in spite of the guesting team holding a 7 point lead so far this season.

Insights:
  • Leganés have won at least twice as many corners as they have conceded at home.
  • Tenerife have the most matches over the total-line (7) in La Liga 2

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

It's quite the trip for Tenerife when visiting Leganés as the cities are 2000 kilometers apart.

Leganés form and stats

Leganés have collected 5 points from their La Liga 2 home games so far after 1-2-2.

Leganés travelled for their previous game, a trip to Alcorcon that ended 3-3. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Édgar Bárcenas, a forward, was the best player for the side in that game, collecting a rating of 8.2 (out of 10). Bárcenas scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times and had 26 successful passes (of 31 total).

Preceding that match was a defeat to Real Valladolid (0-2).

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 ten games) they have won six times, drawn two and lost two.

Leganés aren't scoring a lot here at Estadio Municipal de Butarque in the league, with only 3 goals from 5 games. Leganés have conceded 5 in these home matches.

Tenerife form and stats

3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. That’s the product of Tenerife playing as the away team in the La Liga 2 this season.

Tenerife might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Eibar proved too strong as Tenerife slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Heliodoro Rodríguez Lopéz. Midfield player Aitor Sanz was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.15/10. Sanz hit one key pass and had 29 successful passes (of 32 total).

A 1-2 defeat away at Las Palmas before that.

We have checked recent matches where Tenerife have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those seven games were two victories, one draw and four defeats.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Tenerife have scored 8 goals in 6 league games away. As opposed to that, Tenerife have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Previous ten meetings featuring these contenders: Leganés won four, Tenerife were winners in three and we saw three draws. one game with more than 2,5 goals, nine matches with under 2,5 goals.
