Leganés vs Real Zaragoza Prediction & Preview

Preview

This coming Saturday, the Spain La Liga 2 will witness an intriguing clash as league leaders Leganés host mid-table Real Zaragoza at Estadio Municipal de Butarque. Kick-off is scheduled for 14:15 in what marks the 37th round of action.

Leganés, under the guidance of Borja Jiménez Sáez, have maintained a solid performance throughout the season and currently sit at the top with 63 points. Their recent form has seen them unbeaten in their last five matches (1 win and 4 draws), showcasing a strong defensive record by conceding just an average of 0.5 goals per game overall, and only 0.4 goals at home.

Real Zaragoza, managed by Victor Fernández Braulio, are positioned in a less favorable spot on the table as they hold onto the 13th place with 45 points. However, their recent outings have been relatively positive compared to earlier in the season; they've secured two wins, one loss, and two draws from their last five games.

The head-to-head record between these two teams leans slightly in favor of Leganés who have won three out of their last five meetings against Zaragoza's two victories. Notably though, Real Zaragoza claimed a narrow victory (1-0) during their latest encounter against Leganés back on December second.

In terms of goal-scoring capabilities when playing at home this season: Leganés averages significantly higher than when away – scoring around 1.4 goals per match at Butarque compared to their general average of just over one goal per game across all venues.

On Real Zaragoza’s side - while they struggle more away from home - scoring about half what Leganes manages (0.6 vs Leganes' approximately double that figure), it should be noted that they recently turned heads with a crucial win against Huesca away from home which ended Huesca’s aspirations with a scoreline reading Huesca (1) - Real Zaragoza (2).

Bet

Considering both team's current form and defensive strength especially that shown by Leganés it might appear tempting to predict another low-scoring affair here particularly given both sides’ averages indicate fewer than three goals typically being scored combined per match when either is involved respectively.

Given these statistics along with betting odds provided – opting for "Under 2.5" goals seems prudent as not only does it align well statistically but also provides reasonable value odds-wise listed currently at around 1,36 which suggests this outcome is quite likely according to bookmakers thereby making this option my recommended bet for this particular matchup.
