Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
After sharing the spoils with Osasuna in Pamplona, Leganes will look to record their first win of the season when they welcome Las Palmas to their Estadio Municipal de Butarque. The capital club’s main goal is to secure the La Liga survival and, as a result, they must collect as many points as possible from home games if they are to meet the goal. Jorge Saenz remains in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
La Union Deportiva, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Sevilla. Las Palmas produced a fine display in their opener, but given their difficulties on the road, we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from Sunday’s encounter. The likes of Adnan Januzaj, Jesus Crespo, and Daley Sinkgraven should miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
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.
