Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Leganes will be aiming to clinch top position in the standings when they take on Ferrol on Sunday afternoon. The capital club are leading the chase for automatic promotion and they must be high on confidence following a 2-1 win over Sporting Gijon. Juan Chicco misses out through suspension following his sending-off at the weekend, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
The Galician outfit, meanwhile, aim to keep their playoffs hopes alive. As Ferrol will go for a win in Sunday’s clash as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Midfielder Alvaro Vadillo remains on the sidelines with injury, while Moi is pushing for a recall to the starting XI. The opposition back-line should have Alvaro Gimenez at bay. In their last meeting in the Spanish second tier the two sides played out a 2-2 draw.
Highlighted Team (Leganes):
Leganes are a Spanish football club that have mostly been playing in lower leagues. Los Pepineros play their home games at Batarque (Madrid) and the capacity of the stadium is just 8,138. Leganes secured their promotion to the Spanish La Liga for the first time ever in 2016 and, no doubt, that is considered the club’s biggest success.
Leganes’ bitterest rivals are fellow capital club Getafe and there have always been fireworks when the two teams take on each other in the South Madrid derby.
The colour of the team’s home kit is white and blue, whilst their away kits are green. The likes of Pierre Webo, Samuel Eto’o, Ivan Zarandona, Jose Chamot, Catanha, Ruben Falcon, Jordi Lardin and Pedro Lago are famous players who were part of the Batarque outfit in the past. Lady Maria Victoria Pavon is the first female president in the history of the club and she has been in charge of the club since 2009.
