Leganes vs Girona Predictions

• Both teams have scored in six of Girona’s last seven games.
• The visitors have gone 15 without a clean sheet across all competitions.
• Both teams have scored in four of Leganes’ last six at home.

Relegation six-pointer at the Butarque

Leganes sit 19th in the La Liga table, three points adrift of safety with six games remaining, and on Thursday they host a Girona side they can still catch.

The visitors were the league’s surprise package last term as they qualified for the Champions League but they sold the majority of their stars over the summer and this season has been one of struggle.

The Catalan club sit in 16th spot – five points ahead of Leganes and just three clear of the drop zone – and they are on a 10-game winless run ahead of Thursday’s game (D4, L6).

Both teams to score the starting point

Both of these teams are in terrible form as Leganes are winless in six, with four defeats, but both have at least been scoring so backing goals at both ends looks a strong play here,

There have been goals at both ends in six of Girona’s last seven games and they have gone 15 without a clean sheet across all competitions.

Leganes have only failed to score in one of their last six home games and they drew that blank against Barcelona. Los Pepineros have scored a meagre 29 goals in 32 La Liga games but they have been more effective at home lately, having scored in seven of their last nine at this venue.

Both teams may feel they need a win here but the desire not to lose could win out in the end and a 1-1 draw looks a reasonable correct score prediction. Girona haven’t scored more than once in any of their last six games and they’ve drawn three of their last seven. Two of Leganes’ last five at home have finished all square, so these two struggling sides may each have to settle for a point.
