Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Alcorcon and Leganes square off against each other at Estadio Municipal de Santo Domingo in a highly-anticipated La Liga 2 encounter. Los Alfareros experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Mirandes and, no doubt, they are desperate to grab something from Saturday’s clash. Emmanuel Addai is pushing for a start, while there are no injury concerns in the home team. The capital club, meanwhile, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Andorra.
Leganes are eager to get back on course and we predict that they will take advantage of Alcorcon’s shaky defence. Cameroon midfielder Yvan Neyou is likely to return to Leganes’ starting XI as Borja Jimenez should opt to make changes to the team that faced Andorra in the opening match of the season. In their last meeting in the Spanish second tier Leganes defeated Alcorcon thanks to Juan Munoz’s goal.
Highlighted Team (Alcorcon):
Founded on July 20, 1971, Alcorcon have been competing in Segunda Division since the 2010/11 season. Los Alfareros welcome their rivals at Santo Domingo, the stadium opened in 1999. The venue has the capacity of 5,100 people. Alcorcon have made it to the Segunda Division playoffs on several occasions, but they have never participated in La Liga.
The club’s biggest success in Copa del rey came in the 2009/10 season when they made it to the last 16 of the prestigious competition. Alcorcon suffered a 3-2 (on agg.) loss to Racing Santander in the round of 16. The club’s home colour is yellow, while their away kit is mainly blue.
Los Alfareros played their first official game on September 8, 1971, with the team losing 2-0 to Atletico Madrid youth team. The likes of Cordoba and Leganes are regarded as the club’s main rivals, while David Rodriguez is the club’s all-time top goalscorer.
