Match Details: September 1st, 2025 | Estadio Municipal de Butarque, Leganés | La Liga 2

Monday’s La Liga 2 action sees two still undefeated sides go head to head, as recently relegated Leganes take on Deportivo La Coruna, with both looking to make progress towards the top six.

Deportivo have had a strong start to the season, conceding just one goal, while Leganes have opened their campaign with two 1-1 draws, seeing them fall behind the chasing pack early in the campaign.

Key Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals at odds of 2.20 on Kwiff represents excellent value for the tip provided by our in-house tipsters.

Leganes vs Deportivo La Coruna Predicted Lineups

Leganes Predicted XI (4-4-2): Juan Soriano (GK); Marvel, Jorge Saenz, Lalo Aguilar, Ruben Pena; Duk, Seydouba Cisse, Amadou Diawara, Naim Garcia; Miguel de la Fuente, Diego Garcia.

Failing to take maximum points from either league game this season, and in truth a little lucky to take a point from both, Leganes have not had the start to the season they were after. As a recently relegated side from La Liga, many expected them to make a strong case for an immediate bounce back, but any sign of that has so far proved elusive.

It could just be a case of early season rust, and we don’t expect coach Paco Lopez to make any excessive changes quite yet. In terms of absences, Leganes are only missing Ruben Pulido through a cruciate ligament injury.

Deportivo La Coruna Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): German Parreno (GK); Sergio Escudero, Dani Barcia, Arnau Comas, Miguel Loureiro; Jose Gragera, Diego Villares; Yeremay Hernandez, Mario Soriano, Luismi Cruz; Zakaria Eddahchouri.

After a season to regroup following relegation in 2024, Deportivo seem to be back with a vengeance this season - a comprehensive opening day display earned them a deserved win, and a gritty goalless draw against Burgos illustrated their strength in defence.

With promising signs for the season ahead, Deportivo will already have their eye on the top six spots, and they lie level on points with three teams occupying those spaces. In terms of absences, Deportivo will only be without Jose Jurado, who has a muscle injury.

Leganes vs Deportivo La Coruna Recent Match Analysis

Leganes Last Five Games:

• Leganes 1-1 Cadiz (La Liga 2)
• SD Huesca 1-1 Leganes (La Liga 2)
• Oxford United 1-1 Leganes (Club Friendly)
• Valencia 0-0 Leganes (Club Friendly)
• Richmond Kickers 1-1 Leganes (Club Friendly)

Notching five draws in a row, it appears Leganes have forgotten how to kill off a football match. In the two La Liga 2 fixtures, Leganes scored first both times, but lapses in concentration late in the game saw three points turn to one both times.

The positives are that their defence seems organised, not conceding more than once since a May defeat to La Liga side Villarreal - but their attack needs to produce more. A one goal lead never seems like enough, and in their current form, Leganes are a side who need a two goal lead at least before they start to get comfortable.

Deportivo La Coruna Last Five Games:

• Deportivo La Coruna 0-0 Burgos CF (La Liga 2)
• Granada 1-3 Deportivo La Coruna (La Liga 2)
• Deportivo La Coruna 2-1 Real Oviedo (Club Friendly)
• Watford 1-0 Deportivo La Coruna (Club Friendly)
• Deportivo La Coruna 0-4 Elche (La Liga 2)

Losing four games in a row to end last season, Deportivo have cleared up their act over the summer. Apart from a friendly loss to Watford, Deportivo have looked really solid, and have the look of a side that is ready to challenge for promotion this season.

Of course, there is a lot of football left to be played, and plenty can change in just a week, but if they continue on their current path, dominating possession in both of their league games so far, the only way is up.

Our advanced algorithm analyses over 200 data points to generate these predictions, and as a result has deduced that there is a 62.5% chance of more than 2.5 goals being scored in this fixture - there have been seeing high scoring meetings in their last five clashes, and given both sides are prolific, it is hard to bet against it happening again.

Leganes vs Deportivo La Coruna Betting Tip

Football Park’s Best Bet: Over 2.5 goals at odds of 2.2 on Kwiff - Leganes have shown in their games that goals tend to be scored at both ends, lending a bet on over 2.5 goals validity. Deportivo are more of a goal threat, and will push to be the first side to score multiple goals past the fallen La Liga side this season. However, Leganes will match them, with the game ending 2-2.

Players to Watch: Leganes vs Deportivo La Coruna

Lalo Aguilar (Leganes): A key cog in keeping Leganes results to draws instead of losses, Aguilar has had a good start to life at the club. Acquired from Albacete over the summer, the centre back has shown he can be a colossus for this club, a player who at the age of just 23, can be a huge part of any success the club has. That starts with getting back up to the top flight, and going off of his performances in the early weeks of the season, Aguilar is more than capable of transitioning to top division football.

Mario Soriano (Deportivo La Coruna): One of Deportivo’s standouts last season with five goals and four assists from midfield, Soriano has picked up from where he left off. With one goal already scored on the opening day, the Spaniard is dictating play from midfield superbly, and fuels most of the good things his side do. He will have a big say in Monday’s result.

Stadium Details: Estadio Municipal de Butarque, home of Leganes, is a modern, open stadium which feels spacious, and yet maintains a raucous atmosphere on gameday. Able to hold upwards of 14 '000 spectators, it is a superb venue for this big La Liga 2 fixture.
