Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Leganes will look to make amends for a 3-1 loss to Atletico Madrid when they take on Celta Vigo on Matchday 11. The capital club defended well against los Rojiblancos, but Diego Simeone’s men eventually managed to break the deadlock. Anyhow, Leganes produce much better showings at home than on the travels. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, fit-again forward Munir El Haddadi could sneak into the starting line-up.
Os Celeste, on the other hand, produced a fine display in a 2-1 loss to star-studded Real Madrid. Anyhow, Celta Vigo are more of a team than Leganes and we predict that the Galicians are going to prove their worth on the field. To make things even better for the away team, both Ilaix Moriba and Iago Aspas are back from suspension. Midfielder Jailson, though, remains in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Jonathan Bamba):
After spending his youth career at CS Paris-Charenton, UJA AlfortVille and Saint-Etienne, Jonathan Bamba started playing for Saint-Etienne II at senior level. In 2015 he was given a chance to prove his worth with the first team and it has to be noted that he scored eight goals in 42 appearances for les Verts in Ligue 1.
Following his loan spells with Paris, Sint-Truiden and Angers, Jonathan Bamba joined Lille in the summer of 2018. The pacey winger born in Alfortville (France) on March 26, 1996, has been playing for les Dogues ever since, but he has yet to earn a cap for the French national team. Nonetheless, Jonathan Bamba has 12 caps with France U21 in which he scored four goals for les Tricolores.
Jonathan Bamba’s main position is left winger, but he is used as a centre-forward as well. The French footballer, whose preferred foot is right, has a contract with Lille until June 30, 2023.
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.
