Leganés Espanyol betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Leganés heads into this matchday in advantage not only for playing with the support of their fans, but for the moment they are going through in the Spanish league. On the other hand, outsiders should enter the field with a careful strategy, just looking for the counterattack, but without great success. That said, Leganés has all the conditions to add up to the three points in this game, but we will still protect ourselves in a possible draw.

Confirmed Lineup: Pichu Cuéllar, Kenneth Omeruo, Roberto Rosales, Jonathan Silva, Chidozie Awaziem, Kevin Rodrigues, Roque Mesa, Óscar Rodríguez, Rubén Pérez, Martin Braithwaite, Youssef En-Nesyri.
