Both teams have switched this season's plan, and any eventual survival struggles that may have been expected, especially for Girona, are now much closer to the center of the table, rather than the relegation zone and they can be quite relaxed. Girona is better for two positions and two points, with Leganes has one match less, but they will play against Real. Leganes is currently in a worse form with four games without a win, but they also played two matches in the Cup semi-finals. Girona is without defeat after four games. The first this season's duel of these rivals ended with a score of 0-0.
The fact that Girona was defeated in the last round did not spoil the overall impression when it comes to this season. They lost to Sevilla at home and this was minimal, so they cannot even blame themselves, although they have missed the opportunity to use the penalty at the end of the first half when the result was still 0-0.
That is why they had a series of four games without defeat before their duel in Andalusia, and they have celebrated twice without any goals received, with two draws, of which the one with Atletico in Madrid is especially valuable. They were not complete in Sevilla either because Maffeo got a fifth yellow card in their 2-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao and could not play, and it is also interesting that their first shooter Stuani was on the bench. Midfielder Pere Pons had to leave the game early because of the injury, and he is now questionable, while Maffeo and Stuani will probably be back in the team.
Probable lineups FC Girona: Bono – Ramalho, Espinosa, Juanpe – Maffeo, Granell, Pons(A.Garcia), Mojica – Borja, Portu, Stuani
Leganes is in a small drop in form and four games without a win, two in the Cup, in which they should not have allowed themselves another sensation, which is the elimination from Sevilla. Before that, they were better than Real, and they also failed against Sevilla in their field when they played 1-1, however, they did not repeat that in rematch in Madrid and they lost with 2-0 and thus remained without a placement in the finals. They are without a win in the previous two rounds of La Liga and they did not score any goals in those matches. While they played 0-0 with Getafe, and then lost in the last round to Eibar on their field with 1-0.
In the finish of the match, they were left without one player on the field due to the exclusion of striker Siovas, and then they received the only goal in the fourth minute of the injury time. Obviously, their Cup matches had taken a lot of strength, although coach Garitano made some changes. Zaldua was absent in the last round due to cards, but he is now back, while Siovas will not be in the team due to the suspension. Brasan and Titus are struggling with injuries, so they are questionable, while dos Santos and Szymanowsky are also out of action.
Probable lineups Leganes: Cuellar – Zaldua, Munoz, Mantovani, D.Rico – Ruben Perez, Gumbau – El Zhar, Gabriel, Naranjo – Guerrero
It can be said that these two teams are of equal strength, so home field might have be crucial, but also a better form of Girona, which is why we give them the advantage in this match and we believe they will win the new three points against the tired Leganes.
