Leganés form and stats

There's been little loot from Leganés's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 12 away games in the La Liga 2. Leganés only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 4 draws.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Leganés goalkeeper Asier Riesgo Unamuno is eager to challenge this, with his 180 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Muñoz scored in Leganés's previous match, the home game against Sporting Gijon that ended 1-0. Those three points felt nice as this team had gone three league games without victory. Riesgo was the team player of the game with the player rating of 7.62. The agile goalkeeper Riesgo topped it up with a clean sheet.

Before that, Leganés travelled to Eibar and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Leganés as they have only managed to score 8 times from 12 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Leganés as they have only conceded 11 goals from these away games.
