One of the matches in La Liga’s 13th round will take place on Saturday at the “Butarque Municipal Stadium”, where Leganés will face Sevilla. Here’s a promising betting pick on the number of goals in this match with strong chances for success.
Match Preview
Leganés has had a poor start to the season, currently sitting in 16th place in the La Liga standings. With only 11 points from 12 matches and just two wins, they are just one point above the relegation zone.
Heading into their match against Sevilla, Leganés comes off a dramatic 3-4 away defeat to Girona. Interestingly, this marks the second consecutive game in which Leganés has scored three goals. However, while they won 3-0 against Celta in their previous match, their high-scoring effort was not enough to avoid defeat against Girona. At home, Leganés has won two and lost two of their five matches this season.
Meanwhile, Sevilla sits in 13th place, just five points clear of the relegation zone. The Andalusian club has four wins and five losses after 12 rounds.
In their latest match, Sevilla hosted Real Sociedad at home but lost 0-2, marking their second defeat in the last three rounds. On a positive note, Sevilla advanced to the Copa del Rey round, defeating Los Rosas 3-0 away.
Probable Lineups
- Leganés: Dmitrovic; Saenz, Nastasic, Tapia; Alti, Cissé, Neiyu, Franquesa; Raba, Haller, D. Garcia.
- Sevilla: Nyland; Carmona, Bade, Nyanzu, Pedrosa; Gudelj, Lokonga; Lukebakio, J. Sanchez, Idumbo; Romero.
