Leganes
- Leganes have lost their last three consecutive games in LaLiga 2, conceding eight goals and scoring just once in that span.
- Leganes are the team they are trying to chase down, some 30 points adrift of Racing in 16th place on 42 points after an equally number of games.
- The Lame Wolves have lost four of their last five and their 0-4 defeat to FC Andorra at home was their third successive loss.
- Their home record reads six wins, five draws and seven defeats in 18 games, with Leganes scoring 21 times in that spell.
Racing Santander
- Racing Santander arrive at Butarque on Sunday on the back of a run of three wins and a draw from their last five league matches with 72 points from 38 games seeing the White and Blues top the LaLiga 2 standings.
- This season has been one of major progress for Racing Santander, who have taken some time to implement their attacking style and steady tactics.
Head-to-Head
The last four head-to-head meetings between these two clubs in LaLiga 2 have seen Racing Santander win two, Leganes win one and one draw.
Key Players
- Peio Canales has been their playmaker, creating chances and making things happen from his advanced number 10 position, but talisman Andres Martin has been the main man in scoring 20 goals in 37 league appearances.
- Leganes have a little bit of magic in Juan Cruz, who has scored two of their last four goals during their run of four defeats in five matches.
Betting Insights
Backing Both Teams to Score - Yes seems a little short at 1.44 , but I will take the odds on because the quality in Racing ’s attack and Leganes ’s home-field pride should see a few goals at either end.
Prediction
Racing Santander are in better form, however, and have more to play for in terms of the promotion race, so I’m backing them to grab all three points in a game where over 2.5 goals also looks likely to be cleared.
