Ebro vs Leganes Predictions

  • Ebro have won 1 of their 12 league meetings with sides above them in the table.
  • Leganes have lost only 1 of their last 7 games.
  • Leganes have a solid record in this competition, while their last four away defeats were at Real Madrid, Sevilla, Villarreal and Valencia.
  • Leganes have scored eight times across their last four games.

Hope for Ebro

Ebro head into their clash in the last 32 of the Copa del Rey aiming for a giant-killing. The hosts are mid-table in one of the four branches of Spain’s third tier. However, midweek sees them taking on top-flight Leganes, with the visitors in a tricky spot in La Liga. Will that see them risk their place in the cup on Thursday night?

Hosts Going Nowhere

Ebro can celebrate five years in the third tier later this year, a landmark for a club who had never made it this high in the pyramid before. They look good for a spot in the division next season, with a four-point lead over the bottom four. They’ve lost just once at home to the sides below them in the table, so they should be good enough to survive.

However, that’s about the height of it for this side. They aren’t going to get much higher based on their results this term, which has seen them win once in 12 clashes with the sides above them in the third tier. Now they host a side who are coming from La Liga, while the visitors aren’t exactly your typical strugglers.

Life for Leganes

Just like Ebro, the visitors are at their highest ever level, in their fourth top-flight season. Leganes have been fighting against the drop throughout their time in La Liga, while they have sparked a comeback after slipping into the bottom three. Former Mexico boss Javier Aguirre has taken charge, leading them to one defeat in seven matches. That’s boosted their survival hopes and led them through two rounds of this competition.

Leganes cruised past Real Murcia in the last round, beating the second-tier side 4-0 on the road. We expect them to edge out a victory over Ebro here, given that their last two campaigns in this competition have brought them to the semi-finals and the last 16. Since 2016, Leganes’s away defeats in this competition have come at Real Madrid, Sevilla, Villarreal and Valencia. Otherwise, they’ve secured a result.

We expect Leganes to edge this clash here, with the top-flight side in form. We’re backing them to see off Ebro, while we’re going for a 2-0 victory here, having seen goal-shy Leganes score eight times in their last four matches.
