Leganés - Alavés: Match Preview
Both Leganés and Alavés are fighting for survival in La Liga, with relegation looming for both teams.
Leganés currently sit in 17th place with 23 points from 23 matches, just one point above the relegation zone. Their poor attacking form (19 goals, the second-worst in La Liga) and three consecutive defeats make this a crucial match in their survival battle.
Alavés are also struggling, having lost their last two games without scoring. They currently sit in 18th place with 21 points, just two points behind Leganés. A win here could push them out of the relegation zone, making this a high-stakes encounter.
Probable Lineups
- Leganés: Dmitrović; Altı, Rosier, S. González, Nastasić, Cruz; Raba, Cissé, Brasanac, Munir; De la Fuente
- Alavés: Sivera; Tenaglia, Abqar, Diarra, M. Sánchez; Blanco, Guevara; Vicente, Martín; T. Martínez, Kike García
Prediction
With both teams struggling in attack and desperate for points, this game is expected to be tense and low-scoring. Given Leganés’ poor goal-scoring record and Alavés’ recent struggles, I expect a cagey affair with limited chances.
My betting recommendation: Under 2.5 total goals with odds of 1.44.
