Leganes vs Espanyol Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 11th May 2025

Mid-placed Espanyol visit Leganes, who are currently struggling to put some distance between themselves and the relegation-zone. This is a round 35 match taking place at Estadio Butarque this coming Sunday.

Too many recent draws have halted Leganes in their progress. Their upcoming match with Espanyol could be a good opportunity to return to winning another match this season.

Leganes only average a modest one goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored ten goals. They also conceded 16 for an average of 1.6 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring two times.

Espanyol scored 13 goals, conceded eight and managed four clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Betting on the draw would have earned you a sound profit the last time Leganes played Espanyol. The pair finished even in a 1-1 match, where no one managed to get the upper hand.

Leganes vs Espanyol Prediction

Leganes Form

Leganes have three draws to show from their last three games, as Mallorca held on to a 0-0 draw. Against Girona, the score was 1-1, while their most recent match finished 2-2 against Sevilla. Leganes only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at Estadio Butarque in the LaLiga. They also drew three and lost two of these six encounters, in which they scored eight and conceded nine goals.

They went into the season as candidates for the drop, and unfortunately for Leganes, they have lived up to expectations. As the season draws to a close, they are still in with a chance of escaping relegation, though.

Espanyol Form

In their previous three games, Espanyol drew 1-1 with Valencia, then lost 1-0 against Villarreal and 1-2 against Real Betis. Espanyol managed a decent return of three wins in their last six LaLiga away matches, in which they scored nine while also conceding four times. They also experienced one draw and two defeats.

Leganes might be favourites, but their current form doesn't cut it for us, at least not compared with the prices on offer at the bookmakers. We would rather take a shot at Espanyol to nick a point or perhaps even a win.

Leganes won 11 points from their last eight encounters with teams from the bottom six, like their upcoming opponent. They won two, scored 13 and let in 12 goals. Espanyol claimed three wins from ten goals scored and 14 conceded from their past ten matches against teams placed in the bottom six. This handed them 12 points to their account. Leganes claimed six wins, 13 draws as well as 15 defeats in the LaLiga this season. Espanyol have a record of ten wins, nine draws and 15 defeats in the LaLiga.
