Leganes vs Sevilla

, KO: 20:00 Nov 9, 2024, Butarque Stadium
Sevilla

CONSISTENCY has been an issue for both Leganes and Sevilla in this season’s La Liga. The two meet in the league on Saturday, November 9th at the Butarque Stadium, with the hosts looking to close a four-point gap to their opponents in the bottom half of the table. 

How the bookies view it: Away win gets the nod from the bookies

Sevilla head into Saturday’s fixture as the 8/5 odds-against favourite at William Hill. That looks like a fair price for them, considering they have picked up more points than Leganes this season, but have indifferent road form. Leganes are 19/10 to a big home three points, which would shift them closer to mid-table than the drop zone.

Recent head-to-head: Sevilla aim for fourth straight success

Sevilla have had the upper hand in recent meetings with Leganes, winning the last three on the spin, all with a clean sheet. So there is a trend running there and from six previous visits there in all competitions, Sevilla have only suffered one defeat, which was in La Liga back in 2018. There have been three away wins in the last four meetings between the clubs as well.

Players to watch: Lukebakio the man for the job?

Sevilla have struggled in front of goal this season, with Dodi Lukebakio the only man in the squad to have managed more than one goal. Los Rojiblancos have 12 goals this season, but three of those were own goals by opponents, and Lukebakio has scored five of the nine netted by actual Sevilla players. The Belgian midfielder has scored three of Sevilla’s last four league goals as well, so makes the obvious pick in the goalscorer markets.

Leganes also have 12 goals to their name this season, and half of those they have scored in their last two league outings (W1 L1). Those six goals in two games was more than they scored in their previous six La Liga fixtures together, with Juan Cruz top-scoring for them with four goals this term.

Predicted Lineups

Both sides have some selection issues for this one, due to injuries. Leganes have a few players out, including Sebastien Haller and Jackson Porozo. Yvan Neyou will also miss due to suspension. Sevilla also have a fair few injuries to deal with including Suso who is a new major doubt alongside Saul Niguez, Orjan Nyland and more.

Leganes: Dmitrovic; Rosier, Gonzalez, Nastasic, Hernandez; Tapia, Cisse, Brasanac; Alti; De la Fuente, Cruz

Sevilla: Fernandez; Carmona, Marcao, Salas, Pedrosa; Gudelj, Lokonga; Lukebakio, Juanlu, Fernandez; Romero

Anything else catches the eye?

Leganes are W2 D1 L2 at home this season, with the two defeats coming against teams currently inside the top eight in the table. They have conceded at an average of less than a goal per game, and this has the look of being a low scoring game, even though each of Leganes’ last three matches have gone above 2.5 goals. Five of the last eight between Leganes and Sevilla have gone under that line.

Sevilla are not a prolific team and have scored more than one goal in just three of their twelve La Liga matches this season. Los Rojiblancos recorded their first away win of the season last time they were out on their travels, a 2-0 win at Espanyol, leaving them at W1 D3 L2 away from home. Two of their seven away goals this season were opposition own goals and they have earned a clean sheet in a third of their road games, but look slightly more likely to nick a valuable three points.
