Leganes vs Valencia Predictions

• Valencia haven’t lost any of their last nine matches against Leganes.
• Leganes have only won one of their last six league games.
• Leganes have dropped points in 13 of their 17 home games.
• Valencia have picked up points in seven of their 17 away games.

The hosts are without a win in their last five home games

Leganes played out a goalless draw away at fellow relegation battlers Eibar on Thursday night but remain in the bottom three heading into Sunday’s match, while Valencia claimed a 2-1 win at home against Real Valladolid and sit 8th in the table on 50pts.

A Parejo penalty in the 21st minute put Valencia in front when they played host to Leganes in September but an effort from Rodriguez in the 35th minute saw the game end in a 1-1 draw. Valencia head into this weekends’ latest encounter between the two clubs as the form favourites with two wins, one draw and three defeats from their last six matches. Leganes have lost one fewer game during that same period but with just one win and three draws, they sit behind their guests in the form guide.

Leganes have never beaten Valencia before

Our prediction for a double chance bet on Valencia this weekend is backed up by the head to head record between the two clubs and the performances of both clubs so far this season. Valencia have never lost against Lganes before with the pair meeting on nine previous occasions. Sunday’s guests have won six and drawn three of those nine encounters but the last three meetings have all ended in 1-1 draw, which is why we have backed a double chance bet rather than an outright away win.

Leganes have dropped points in 13 of their 17 home games this season while Valencia have picked up points in seven of their 17 away trips. The hosts have been poor at home of late and are without a win in their own backyard in their last five attempts. In terms of a final scoreline, we’re predicting a 1-0 win for Valencia this weekend.

We’re expecting a tight and tense match at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque

The visitors are the form favourites and boast an excellent head to head record against Leganes, as well as outperforming their hosts in all departments so far this season. Valencia score an average of 1.00 goals per away game and the hosts have failed to score in 41% of their home matches so far this season, which ties in neatly with our prediction for a 1-0 away win on Sunday.
