Leganes
Two weeks ago, the Pepineros finally managed to end their eight-game winless streak with a 2-1 win over Las Palmas. In their last three home games, Borja Jiménez’s side failed to score a single goal, recording defeats against Mallorca (0:1) and Athletic Bilbao (0:2), as well as a dismal match draw without a goal against Valencia. However, in their last five away outings, the Whites and Blues have gradually accumulated points, drawing against Valladolid, Getafe and Rayo Vallecano.

After the October international break, Leganes lost to Atlético in Madrid, but luck smiled on them a week later. In a generally balanced match, they managed to take the lead and even double and triple it against Celta – winning 3:0. The first goals of the season were scored by Diego Garcia, Darko Brasanac and Sergio Gonzalez. Borja Jiménez’s team also found the net three times in their next league match – among others, the Whites and Blues won 2:1 in the Copa del Rey against fifth division club Ciudad de Lucena – but they could not avoid a defeat against Girona, losing 3:4. In the first half, Leganes reacted twice thanks to splendid goals from Renato Tapia and Juan Cruz Diaz. After the break, the visitors inexplicably conceded a penalty, followed by a Sergio Gonzalez own goal, which proved decisive. Munir then scored a magnificent goal, reigniting the intrigue, but the Pepineros failed to get back into the match.

Sevilla
Slowly slipping back into form after a poor start to the season, the Nervionenses began to pick up points and secure wins. García Pimienta’s team recorded its first victory in the fifth round – 1:0 against Getafe. In their next home match, Sevilla won again, this time overcoming Valladolid (2:1). Subsequently, they conceded a draw in Bilbao against Athletic in a match of reasonable quality and secured a crucial and grounded victory in the Seville derby against Real Betis with a score of 1:0. After their second consecutive home victory, the club management decided to extend the contract of the head coach, who had only just started working with the team in the summer, for another year, and the victory in the derby won him praise.

After the international break, Sevilla suffered a heavy defeat at Barcelona (1:5), but less than a week later they secured their first away win of the season by beating Espanyol 2:0 at Barcelona thanks to a double from Dodi Lukebakio. They ended October with a comfortable 3:0 Copa del Rey victory over fifth division side Las Rosas. However, in recent weeks, Sevilla have suffered from huge injury problems, which impacted their performance in the match against Real Sociedad, where they lost 0:2, conceding a goal in each half.

Leganes will be without influential Dani Raba, while midfielder Ivan Neyu is suspended, and several players are doubtful for the match – defenders Jorge Sayens and Jackson Poroso, winger Naim Garcia, as well as attackers Diego Garcia and Sébastien Haller. As for Sevilla, they will have to do without their starting goalkeeper Er’yan Nuland, central defenders Loïc Badé and Tanguy Nianzou, midfielder Saul, the versatile Suso, as well as wingers Chidera Ejuke and Stanis Idumbo.
Leganes vs Sevilla : Author’s prediction
Injury problems continue to undermine García Pimienta’s side’s chances of winning. Leganes are generally quite unstable, and it remains to be seen who will ultimately be missing from their lineup. As far as prediction goes, I don’t see a clear favorite in this head-to-head, and I wouldn’t be surprised by any potential outcome, other than a significant win for one of the teams. The most likely outcome, in my opinion, is a goal-rich draw.
