Key Prediction Insights

Leganes is anticipated to secure a victory with a 57.0% probability when they face off against Espanol. Despite Leganes' position near the bottom of the La Liga standings at 19th, they are projected to win over 14th-placed Espanol. The game is predicted to have fewer than 2.5 goals, with a 45.0% chance of exceeding this total.

Match Analysis

In their recent run of games, Leganes has shown resilience, avoiding defeat in their last three matches through consecutive draws. Their recent performances include a 2-2 draw against Sevilla and a goalless encounter with Mallorca. Although they have struggled to secure victories, their ability to hold their opponents suggests a defensive stability that could be crucial in their upcoming match. Espanol, on the other hand, comes into this fixture following a less favorable progression. They suffered defeats against Betis and Villarreal, scoring a solitary goal across both games. However, their draw against Valencia demonstrates some capacity for resilience. Notably, Espanol's defensive capabilities have been stronger than Leganes', with 0.8 goals conceded on average in the last five games, along with two clean sheets. Advanced metrics highlight that Leganes has been less prolific in front of goal, averaging 1.0 goals scored in their last five matches, whereas Espanol has been slightly more productive, scoring 1.6 on average. Both teams have similar expected goals conceded metrics, which could indicate a closely contested match.

Final Prediction

Leganes is favored to win due to their recent ability to avoid defeat and their slightly higher probability of success. The key factor to watch in this match will be Leganes' defense, which has been tested but not broken in recent matches. How they manage Espanol's attacking efforts could be decisive in determining the outcome of this encounter.
