Sevilla Leganes match preview

After first match between Leganes and Seville played in Madrid both teams have equal chances to reach the final as the match ended as draw 1-1. Sevila stands better in La Liga table; it is sixth at the moment and has four points more than 12th-positioned Leganes. Their match played last autumn in the league had ended as home victory for the Andalusians 2-1.

Sevilla

Now, stakes are higher as the match decides who goes in the final of Spanish Cup. In Sevilla are very much aware that have to play another excellent match in order to definitely eliminate stubborn Leganes. However, last weekend didn’t bring needed improvement in their self-confidence as they lost in the league to Eibar to high 5-1, which at the same time put an end to their five-game unbeaten streak of three wins and two draws.

True, two of those three wins were achieved right in previous round of the Copa del Rey against very strong Atletico Madrid. In the same period they won in the league against Espanyol by even 3-0, however, in two following rounds of La Liga they won just one point which endangers their sixth place in the table. Let’s add that out of four newcomers coach Montella can use this time only defender Layun, as out of action are still injured defenders Kjaer, Carrico and Corchia.

Probable lineups FC Sevilla: Rico – Layun, Mercado, Lenglet, Escudero – N'Zonzi, Banega – Sarabia, Vazquez, Correa – Muriel

Leganes

The guests from Madrid outskirts definitely didn’t expect more than draw from the first match with Sevilla, especially as they eliminated great Real Madrid in previous round of the Copa del Rey. In the 2nd leg Leganes managed to annul minus of one goal from the first match in a way that it won at the Santiago Bernabeu by 2-1 thanks to Eraso and Gabriel who scored those two goals.

After the victory Leganes won in the league Espanyol at home and drew with Getafe away, so not it has even 12 points more than teams in the drop zone, while in the Spanish Cup they are still in race for the great final. True, to achieve that Leganes need victory in Sevilla or draw with at least two scored goals. We doubt that coach Garitano will opt of overly offensive tactic, especially as he still cannot count on two very important players, stopper dos Santos and winger Szymanowski.

Probable lineups Leganes: Champagne – Tito, Bustinza, Siovas, Garcia – Perez, Gumbau – Eraso, Gabriel, Amrabat – Guerrero

Verdict:

Although Sevilla need just a goalless draw to reach the final of Copa del Rey, we are certain that the Andalusians are interested only in victory over Leganes, especially as they owe to their fans for high away defeat to Eibar in the league.
