Leganes vs Getafe Preview
The South Madrid derby might not be the greatest Spanish local competition, but there is not much love lost between the two clubs. This will only be the fifth time the game has been played in the top flight and Leganes so far unbeaten in their two visits to this country in the Primera, claimed a famous victory in South derby Madrid here last season.
As happened later, Getafe head into the game as clear favorites. They have mixed a little early for the continuation of last year's campaign well-5 finish though. They sat in the 12th position today and the reason seems to be mostly related to their inability to be as solid at the back this term. They average 1.5 goals per game conceded compared to less than one per game last season with defender Leandro Cabrera Djene and not quite hit the same heights so far.
Leganes is a team similar in terms of style with perhaps slightly less quality in the final third of the pitch. They were not as bad as the league table currently shows but this worrying time for Mauricio Pellegrino whose side currently propping up the division with only 2 points and only 4 goals. When you consider that only three parties have had more shots of the Lega in La Liga this season, it is clear that poor finishing had cost them badly.
Geta still have some injury sidelined by Mathias Olivera and Vitorino Antunes struggling for fitness so Allan Nyom had to face his former club here after playing for South Leganes in Madrid derby last season. Leganes which is at least boosted by the return of fitness first choice goalkeeper Ivan Cuellar is supposed to help stabilize their back-line.
Getafe vs Leganes Predictions
The host has been in good form in the season so far. They have lost only one game in the last five games and that too with Spanish giants Barcelona. Also, they have 2 wins and 4 draws from their eight league appearances until now.
their extra time series had pulled them down in climbing the league table this season. But coming out of a comfortable win at Real Sociedad in their last trip, the home side will be confident to face the team at the bottom end.
On the other hand, Leganes has suffered 6 losses already in their eight league games. Not to find victory, guests will be far from making an impact at the Coliseum. And they are the only team in the table to do so in this season until now.
Even in their away games in the main competition, the trip has suffered 6 losses and 2 wins in the prior ten tips on the road. Meanwhile, the hosts have won in all but one home game in the previous ten home ties. Thus, we can expect the hosts to be strong and launched their attacks on the opposition the possibility to harvest three points from it.
In addition, the home team has scored an average of 1.5 goals per game in the campaign so far. With their double loss to the tail of the previous league match, Lega will hold their pelvis to withstand heavy attack expected from contingent hosting. As a result, it is rare to expect goals from the visiting side at the opposite post in ninety minutes.
