Live coverage of the EA Sports LaLiga match between Leganés and Atlético Madrid.
Both teams are finalizing their warm-ups! Everything is ready for this highly anticipated clash between Leganés and Atlético Madrid!
Following their performance at Cornellà to conclude the first half of the season, Leganés coach Borja Jiménez makes just one change with Javi Hernández replacing Darko Brasanac. It seems that a five-man defensive line is being established in Leganés.
Diego Pablo Simeone maintains the same formation that allowed him to win against Osasuna in their last league match. However, they will have to cope without Alexander Sorloth, out for an indefinite period due to an embarrassment during the Copa del Rey.
The composition of the Leganés team has been confirmed – it’s official!

Leganés find themselves in a mixed situation under the leadership of Borja Jiménez. With 19 points to their name, the club maintains a slight margin over Deportivo Alavés when it comes to relegation concerns. They have not won in the league since their surprising victory at Barcelona on December 15, but remain active in the Copa del Rey. Butarque will witness a fresh start for the second half of the season, facing what is perhaps the toughest challenge currently in the top flight of Spanish football.
With a record of 15 consecutive victories, the most fit team in the national landscape is ready for the second half of the season. They enter this phase with 44 points, one more than Real Madrid, posting 34 goals scored and only 12 conceded, with only one defeat in the league: against Real Betis at the Benito Villamarín.
Welcome to Butarque, where it’s the leader’s turn! Atlético Madrid visits Leganés hoping to secure their 16th consecutive victory. Since establishing their fearsome form starting October 31 against Vic in the Copa del Rey, they have become the team to beat as the second half of the La Liga season gets underway. Enjoy football!
