Leganes vs. Getafe: Match Prediction
In the battle of teams near the relegation zone, I give a slight edge to the visitors. Getafe is in good form, having accumulated 30 points, and is close to securing their place in La Liga for next season. To ensure their spot, they need to gather as many points as possible against lower-ranked clubs. Pepe Bordalas' side has performed well on the road, winning their last four away league matches.
Meanwhile, Leganes has failed to win 5 of their last 6 home league games (1 draw and 4 losses). Additionally, this game is expected to feature at least two goals. Such a number of goals has been scored in 5 of Getafe's last 7 league matches. Three or more goals have been scored in 4 of Leganes' last 6 home games in La Liga. Furthermore, Getafe has not lost to this opponent in 6 of their last 7 league encounters (3 wins and 3 draws). At least two goals have been scored in the last four head-to-head La Liga meetings.
My prediction: Double chance and total over 1.5 goals
