Leganés - DLLLDD
It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just one fitness concern for the Leganés manager Borja Jiménez to contend with from a near full-strength set of players. Yvan Neyou (Lower leg fracture) won’t play.
In our view, Leganés look set to opt for a 5-3-2 system in the match featuring Marko Dmitrovic, Jorge Saenz, Sergio Gonzalez, Javier Hernandez, Valentin Rosier, Enric Franquesa, Darko Brasanac, Renato Tapia, Roberto Lopez, Juan Cruz and Sebastien Haller.
Leganés will play in this fixture after a 1-1 La Liga drawn match versus Rayo Vallecano.
In that game, Leganés managed 47% possession and 13 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for Leganés was Juan Cruz (55'). At the other end, Rayo Vallecano had 15 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Sergio Camello (8') scored for Rayo Vallecano.
Leganés have found it difficult to unlock defences in more recent games. Their sum of goals equals just 2 against opposing sides over their last 6 outings. In those games, Leganés have also seen the tally of goals against them come to 7. Even so, we must now wait to see whether that pattern will be sustained in this next game.
Taking a look at their past results, Leganés:
have not lost a league tie with Valencia in their previous 4 games.
haven’t won at home in the past 2 league games.
Valencia - LDLWDL
Thanks to a largely healthy group of players, there’s only a single fitness issue for the Valencia manager Rubén Baraja to be concerned with. Mouctar Diakhaby (Knee injury) misses out for this game.
We reckon that Los Che might elect for a 3-2-4-1 lineup by sending out Giorgi Mamardashvili, Cristhian Mosquera, Cesar Tarrega, Yarek Gasiorowski, Dimitri Foulquier, Thierry Correia, Diego Lopez, Pepelu, Enzo Barrenechea, Luis Rioja and Hugo Duro.
Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Real Sociedad in La Liga action, Valencia will be aiming to make amends here.
In that game, Valencia had 39% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 4 on target. For their opponents, Real Sociedad had 11 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. Takefusa Kubo (8') and Orri Steinn Óskarsson (80', 92') scored for Real Sociedad.
A tendency of at least one team not scoring a goal in games featuring Valencia has been evident recently. Checking on their last 6 outings reveals that it’s occurred 5 times. During these clashes, opposing sides have managed a goal tally of 8 while Valencia have scored 3.
Analysis of their past results shows that Valencia:
haven't won against Leganés when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
haven’t won away from home in the past 7 league matches.
Leganes possible starting lineup:
Dmitrovic; Rosier, Gonzalez, Nastasic, Hernandez; Cisse, Tapia; Cruz, Lopez, Alti; Haller
Valencia possible starting lineup:
Mamardashvili; Foulquier, Tarrega, Mosquera, Correia; Canos, Guilllamon, Pepelu, Rioja; Duro, Guerra
Leganes vs Valencia Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
*There is not much history between the two teams and they have met 10 times in all competitions since 2016. The hosts have been the dominant side in these meetings with six wins. Los pepineros have just one win to their name while three games have ended in draws.
*The visitors are winless in their last four meetings against Los Ches, with three games ending in 1-1 draws.
*The last five meetings between the two teams have produced under 2.5 goals.
*Leganes have failed to score in two of their three home games in La Liga this season.
*Valencia have suffered defeats in their four away games in La Liga this term, failing to score in three games in that period and conceding three goals apiece in three games.
*Both teams have scored five goals in eight league games thus far. The visitors have the better defensive record, conceding four goals fewer
Prediction: Leganes 1-1 Valencia
Three of the last four La Liga matches between these two sides have finished 1-1, and we can see the same scoreline occurring here. Valencia are just not winning games at the moment, and despite their quality, we are finding it difficult to back them to secure all three points on Friday night.
