Levante form and stats

Levante have collected 17 points from their La Liga home games so far after 5-2-3. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Levante with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Celta de Vigo game, 47 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

In their previous game, the manager F. López Fernández led his Levante to a defeat in the La Liga match away at Barcelona. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Ciudad de Valencia. Heartbreak before that as Levante lost 0-2 at Osasuna's place.

Aitor had a busy but productive day in the Barcelona match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.

Levante have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estadio Ciudad de Valencia with 15 goals in 10 league matches. Levante's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 11 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Leganés form and stats

There's been little loot from Leganés's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 10 away games in the La Liga. Leganés only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 5 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Leganés have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Real Betis game.

Leganés had fun at their own home (Estadio Ciudad de Valencia) last time out, beating Real Sociedad 2-1. Óscar Rodríguez and Kenneth Omeruo scored. Prior to that match, the Leganés manager J. Aguirre Onaindía faced defeat when travelling to Barcelona and losing 0-5.

Óscar Rodríguez came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Real Sociedad last time out, making the manager J. Aguirre Onaindía feel like a tactical genius. The end of the last match, against Real Sociedad, was very satisfying as Óscar Rodríguez scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

The visitors have scored 6 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Leganés have conceded 16 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
