Leganés challenge UD Ibiza for fame and victory.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Leganés's stadium, Estadio Municipal de Butarque, has a grass surface. UD Ibiza have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for UD Ibiza when playing on grass; 13 wins, 10 draws and 8 losses from 31 matches. They have scored 31 goals in these games and conceded 24.
