This is an important match for both teams when it comes to fighting for survival, with the proviso that Leganes is in a much more comfortable situation and they would overcome all the worries with a victory in this duel. And so Leganes has a big 12 points more than Deportivo, which is the first team under the line and they have much bigger imperative of victory in this duel. Deportivo has managed to tie two matches without defeat, while they only played a draw in the previous round. Leganes is recording victories and defeats and they have lost in the last round as well as in the first part of the championship in La Coruna.
The team of Leganes is winning more and more and the triumphs are mostly taking place at home, but there is no reason for panic and this team will probably manage to stay in the elite rank. There are 15 more points in the game, and they are 12 points away from the relegation zone, and it is clear that they should not ruin it. More precisely, everything can be resolved even with a draw in this duel and it is desirable for them to do so, because their schedule is not very easy till the finish.
Two rounds ago, they defeated Celta with 1-0, and this could prove to be crucial, especially since they have lost their matches from Valencia and Barcelona before. They also lost against Villarreal away with 2-1 and they could not do much in that duel. It is interesting that coach Garitano almost completely changed the starting lineup after Celta, so now it is hard to imagine who will be on the field for this match.
Probable lineups Leganes: Cuellar – Zaldua, Bustinza, Siovas, Garcia – Gumbau, Ruben Perez – Brasanac, Eraso, Naranjo – Guerrero
Deportivo has improved their game lately, but it seems that this is too late for this team and they really need a lot of things to coincide to preserve their elite rank status. They will have some very strong rivals till the end of the championship and this further complicates the job, and it seems that this could even be the easiest match. Hope for survival has increased after two triumphs in a row. They have defeated the last ranked Malaga with 3-2 on their field, and it was a match in which they have taken the lead twice. The guests have managed to equalize, but thanks to a third goal in the finish, Deportivo finally celebrated in this match.
After that, they have celebrated with the same result in Bilbao, which was not expected, but they did really well and there was no overwhelming uncertainty. The hero of both triumphs was striker A.Lopez, who scored four of six goals in these duels. In the last round, he did not manage to help them to score a goal against Sevilla and win a new triumph. Coach Seedorf has not changed the team much, and only Guilherme jumped, and now center-back Sidney is also available.
Probable starting lineup for Deportivo: Ruben – Juanfran, Schar, Albentosa, Luisinho
Probable lineups Deportivo: Ruben – Juanfran, Schar, Albentosa, Luisinho – Mosquera, Guilherme – Colak, Borges, A.Lopez – L.Perez
Leganes has been quite relieved but also good on their field, where they are wining most of the points lately. Deportivo plays somewhat better and there is not much room for the calculations, so we expect them to play openly for all or nothing, which means this could be an open match.
Pick: over 2.5 goals 2.21
