Prediction: 1-0
Lugo
Leganes and Lugo go head to head at Estadio Municipal de Butarque on day 8 of the new La Liga 2 campaign. Leganes are eyeing their third win of the season, and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach on Sunday evening. The promotion-chasing capital club aim to move closer to the playoffs berth, and they are surely capable of beating Lugo in front of home fans. Bautista Jon, who opened his goal-scoring account at Mirandes, is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts.
Los Albivermellos, on the other hand, are only one point clear of the relegation zone. Lugo’s away record in Segunda Division is anything but good, and seeing that Leganes have been making progress week by week, home win should be considered. In their last meeting in the suburbs of Madrid Leganes defeated Lugo 3-2.
