The Spanish La Liga season continues this week as Leganés host Valencia in a battle towards the bottom of the table. Both teams are in desperate need of three points right now.
Leganés take on Valencia in a battle towards the bottom end of the Spanish La Liga table. As mentioned, both teams will be desperate to pick up three points in an attempt to turn around their early season form. This could be a big opportunity to do that.
Leganés Predicted Lineup - Marko Dmitrović; Javi Hernández, Matija Nastasić, Sergio González, Valentin Rosier; Renato Tapia, Seydouba Cissé; Adrià Altimira, Roberto López, Juan Cruz; Sébastien Haller
Leganés currently sit 16th in the league on seven points from eight games. This is a disappointing start to the campaign.
The finishing touch seems to be one of their major issues having only scored five goals so far this season. With a prolific goalscorer in Sebastien Haller up front that comes as a surprise. If he can find his form from a few seasons ago his team's fortunes could begin to change.
Valencia Predicted Lineup - Giorgi Mamardashvili; Jesús Vázquez, Cristhian Mosquera, César Tárrega, Dimitri Foulquier; Luis Rioja, Pepelu, Hugo Guillamón, Diego López; Hugo Duro, Javi Guerra
It doesn’t feel like that long ago that Valencia were a huge challenge for teams in La Liga. Now however they sit 18th in the league in the relegation zones on just five points.
To be fair to them though they have faced a tough challenge at the start of this season having faced the likes of Athletic Club, Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, Real Sociedad and so on. This will be a big opportunity to turn their season around.
These two teams have played one another on ten occasions previous to this game.
Valencia have a huge advantage in this fixture with six of those games ending with them winning. Leganés winning just once. There have also been three draws.
However, despite this Leganés are unbeaten in the last four games against Valencia. Can they continue that here?
