Points have been hard to come by for Lugo so far, and you could say the same about Leganés. These weathered teams have a chance to get some vital points here.

Insights:
  • Lugo have the most dropped points from leading position (26) in La Liga 2
  • Leganés have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

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.

Lugo form and stats

The story so far in the La Liga 2 for Lugo at their home stadium (Estadio Anxo Carro) is 8 wins, 7 draws and 2 defeats.

In their previous game, the manager Yáñez led his Lugo to a defeat away at Ponferradina. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Anxo Carro. Sánchez was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.11 out of 10. The defender Sánchez hit three key passes and won 7 of 11 duels.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting FC Cartagena in a game that was won 1-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Lugo perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lugo as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Lugo has won five of these, drawn four and lost three.

Lugo has scored 20 league goals at home this season, in 17 matches. From these home matches, Lugo have conceded only 14 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches. Lugo has at home met teams with this table position (low), four times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 4 of 4 times.

Leganés form and stats

5-4-9 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Leganés in their La Liga 2 matches away. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Leganés have lost on their last two travels.

Leganés aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 193 league minutes without a goal. Jose was the last player to find the net.

Home advantage was not enough for Leganés in their previous game as they lost hosting Malaga, 0-3. Midfielder Pardo was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 6.95. Pardo hit two key passes and had 46 successful passes (of 57 total).

Prior to that match, the Leganés manager Nafti faced defeat when travelling to Real Oviedo and losing 0-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Leganés playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were one Leganés win, five draws and four defeats.

Leganés have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 18 league away games 20 goals have been scored. 26 goals have been conceded by Leganés in these games. When Leganés is visiting a side on the bottom half, 4 of 6 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Alcorcón, Amorebieta, Leganés, Sporting Gijon, Real Sociedad II, Fuenlabrada and Malaga.
