The upcoming La Liga match between Alaves and Leganes presents an intriguing contest, as both teams seek to improve their standings in the league. Alaves currently sits in 16th place following a disappointing 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid, while Leganes, positioned 14th, recently suffered a heavier defeat with a 3-0 loss against Real Madrid . The inconsistency displayed by Alaves this season contrasts with Leganes’ more favorable recent form, which includes three victories in their last five matches across all competitions. This context sets the stage for an important clash where both teams will be eager to secure points.
The home side, Deportivo Alavés, have shown glimpses of form on their own turf, securing three wins, one draw, and two losses in their six home matches. In contrast, CD Leganés have yet to taste victory on the road, managing four draws and three defeats in their away fixtures. This stark difference in home and away performances could play a crucial role in determining the outcome of this match.
Both teams enter this contest on the back of defeats against formidable opponents, with Deportivo Alavés falling 2-1 to Atlético Madrid away from home, while CD Leganés suffered a 3-0 home loss to Real Madrid. These results underscore the challenging nature of the Primera División and the importance of securing points against fellow strugglers.
Predictable match lineups:
Alaves possible starting lineup: Sivera; Tenaglia, Abqar, Mourino, Sedlar; Guevara, Blanco; Vicente, Guridi, Martin; Kike
Leganes possible starting lineup: Dmitrovic; Gonzalez, Nastasic, Hernandez; Alti, Tapia, Neyou, Cruz; Brasanac, De la Fuente, Raba
Leganes were denied getting a shot on target in their previous game against Real Madrid as they lost 3-0 in the encounter on home soil. It was a difficult match for Borja Jimenez’s side as it was impossible for them to beat Los Blancos who are struggling on the European stage with a back-to-back defeat against Liverpool and AC Milan.
In terms of predictions, analysts suggest a potential draw of 1-1 based on the teams' recent performances and historical encounters; notably, Alaves remains unbeaten against Leganes in their last five meetings. Additionally, betting tips recommend wagering on under 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. While specific lineups have not been disclosed in available sources (Ojele, 2024), fans can anticipate competitive play from both sides as they navigate this critical fixture.
