The lineups for each team are based on their previous match in this tournament.
Alaves
The Basques played their last two matches away against top-4 opponents and, as expected, suffered defeats. First, they lost to Villarreal (0-3), followed by a 1-2 loss to Atletico. As a result, the club has slipped to 16th place, with their lead over the bottom three reduced to three points. It's also worth noting their weak defense, which has conceded 24 goals. Only three clubs in the league, all below them in the standings, have conceded more.
Defender Manu Sanchez will miss the match due to suspension.
- Alaves have suffered 7 losses in their last 8 La Liga matches.
- The club has not drawn in 12 consecutive La Liga matches (4 wins and 8 losses).
- At least two goals have been scored in 10 of the Basques' last 12 league matches.
Leganes
Borja Jimenez's side predictably lost to Real Madrid in the last round. The team was thrashed 3-0 by the Madrid side at home, marking Leganes' first heavy defeat in the current championship. In their last 12 La Liga matches, Leganes have achieved only two victories, drawn four times, and suffered six defeats. They are just one point ahead of Alaves.
- At least two goals have been scored in 8 of the club's last 10 La Liga matches.
- Leganes have not won in the first half in 12 of their last 13 league matches (9 draws and 3 losses).
- The team has scored in 6 of their last 8 away La Liga matches.
Alaves vs. Leganes: Match Prediction
In this clash of two struggling teams, I give a slight edge to the hosts. The Basques have performed well at home, losing only twice in their last 10 league matches, with six wins and two draws. Meanwhile, Leganes have failed to secure a victory in their last seven away La Liga matches (4 draws and 3 losses).
Additionally, Alaves have not lost to this opponent in their last five meetings in La Liga and Segunda (2 wins and 3 draws). Both teams have scored in this series of matches. It's also noteworthy that the Basques have not lost to Leganes in seven consecutive home encounters in both top Spanish divisions (2 wins and 5 draws), with at least two goals scored in their last five meetings at Mendizorrotza. Furthermore, at least two goals have been scored in 7 of Alaves' last 10 home La Liga matches, as well as in Leganes' last five away league games.
My prediction – 1X and Total Over 1.5 goals
