Leganes, Recent FormLeganes manager Borja Jiménez will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Huesca. They came away from that fixture with 48% of the possession and clocked up 5 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Huesca managed 6 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
7 goals in 6 matches haven't proved quite enough for them in terms of a return in points, and that's despite having only conceded 3 goals in those 6 games, which shows a pretty solid defensive line. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games; however, they've kept a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have had a good run of form at The Estadio Municipal de Butarque recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Diego García will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at The Estadio Municipal de Butarque having scored 5 goals in Leganes' last 6 home games in the league.
Espanyol, Recent FormEspanyol enter this game with a comfortable 2-1 home win over Albacete Balompie last time out in the league. In that game they had 54% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Albacete Balompie who had 9 attempts and 4 on target.
Although they have only shipped 3 goals in their past 6 matches, they have taken a relatively modest return of points from those games, primarily due to an indifferent return at the other end with 5 goals netted in those 6 matches. When playing away from home, they have scored in 4 of their last 6 games and are on a run of 2 consecutive clean sheets.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 8 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Martin Braithwaite will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 18 goals in Espanyol's 34 league games this season.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 0-1 win for Leganes.
Leganes will be confident of finding the net in this one against Periquitos, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 5 encounters between the two sides. Espanyol have struggled to break down the Pepineros defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings. Leganes have managed to keep a clean sheet against Espanyol in 4 of their previous 5 meetings.
In the league, Leganes has a good track record when they host Espanyol, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
Miguel de la Fuente has scored in each of Leganes' last 2 league games against Espanyol.
There is only really one injury concern for the Leganes manager Borja Jiménez ahead of this clash, with Jorge Sáenz (Physical discomfort) missing out, which gives Jiménez a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Espanyol manager Manolo González has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
