Leganes
Match Time & Date:

21:30
Prediction: 1-1
Mallorca
Leganes will look to extend their unbeaten run to four games when they welcome Mallorca to their Estadio Municipal de Butarque on Saturday evening. The capital club defeated Las Palmas in their last home game of the process, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of Mallorca. Even though Borja Jimenez has no fresh injury worries, Serbian midfielder Darko Brasanac should be recalled to the starting line-up.
Los Bermellones, on the other hand, played out a boring goalless draw with Sevilla in midweek. As Mallorca are likely to adopt yet another defence-minded approach against Leganes, we are tempted to place our bets on under 2.5 goals. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last four meetings in all competitions. Forward Javi Llabres should be the only absentee in the visiting team, while veteran midfielder Daniel Rodriguez returns to the starting XI.
Highlighted Player (Predrag Rajkovic):
Predrag Rajkovic is a professional footballer who plays for Stade Reims and the Serbian National team. Born on the 31st of October, 1995, the Serbian goalkeeper spent his youth career with Hajduk Velijko and Jagodina before signing a professional contract, his first, with the latter in 2012.
His first professional appearance came on the 9th of March, 2013, in a Serbian Superliga match against Partizan. A two-year stint at Red Star Belgrade succeeded Rajkovic's time at Jagodina, after which he moved to Israel to join Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2015. At Aviv, the six-foot-tall established himself as a first-team regular, and in his four-year spell at the club, he made 192 appearances, kept 90 clean sheets and won the Toto Cup.
The 24-year old now plays in Ligue one with Stade Reims and is on a contract that expires in 2023. At the International level, Rajkovic is a former youth international and has capped at every youth level for Serbia. He made his senior team debut meanwhile on the 14th of August, 2013, in a friendly match against Colombia.
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.
