Prediction: 0-1
Getafe
There will be fireworks when Leganes and Getafe lock horns in the local derby on Matchday 26. Leganes are on a five-game winless run in La Liga and they head into Sunday’s clash following a 3-0 loss to Real Sociedad. Midfielder Renato Tapia serves a one-game ban, while Munir El Haddadi has yet to serve his ban. Defender Enriq Franquesa misses out with injury for the home team.
Los Azulones, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Real Betis. As previously mentioned, Leganes suffered a dip in form and given Getafe’s signs of improvement on the road, we predict that the visitors are going to win this Madrid derby. In their last encounter at Estadio Municipal de Butarque, Getafe recorded a 3-0 win over Leganes. Defender Domingos Duarte serves a one-game ban, but there are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Djené):
A central defender who can equally be deployed as a right-back, Djene Dakonam has emerged as one of the most influential Getafe players in the 2017/18 season. His road to prominence was a long one, however, and Djene had to bide his time in order to be recognized for quality he undoubtedly possesses. Dapaong-born Togolese international, Djene Dakonam made his first football steps as a youth member of Etoile Filante.
Spells in Benin and Cameroon with Tonnerre d’Abomey and Coton Sport, respectively, saw Djene Dakonam grab attention of Alcoron, who moved in to bring him to Spain in 2014. During two years in Spain Djene Dakonam made 59 league appearances before moving to Sint-Truidense. It was in Belgium that Djene Dakonam proved his defensive versatility and Getafe came calling the very next year, in 2017.
Djene proved to be an instant hit with the Azulones and is hoping a move to one of Europe’s biggest clubs will not be too far away for him. The likes of Arsenal and Tottenham have been sniffing around him during the summer transfer window in 2018 but were ultimately scared off by his £31 million release clause.
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.
