Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Estadio El Sadar will host Saturday’s football game between Osasuna and Leganes, the two teams who meet for the first time since June 2020. Back then Osasuna defeated Leganes 2-1 and los Rojillos are seen as favourites to win the upcoming match as well. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be summer signing Bryan Zaragoza, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line. Centre-back David Garcia has joined Al-Rayyan SC for a fee of €8.75m.
The capital club, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Real Oviedo (2-1) and Deportivo La Coruna (3-1). Leganes, though, are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Osasuna’s party at El Sadar. The good news for the visitors is that the club chiefs have signed a permanent deal with key attacker Miguel de la Fuente.
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.
