Cultural Leonesa will host Leganes at the Estadio Reino de Leon on Sunday in the fourth round of the 2025-26 Spanish La Liga 2 campaign. The home side have endured a difficult return to life in the Spanish second tier and have another challenging task ahead of them as they look to pick up their first points of the new season and climb up from 21st place.
They suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat away at Sporting Gijon last time out but could have no major complaints about the result after failing to register a single shot on target in the opposition box throughout the contest.
Leganes have endured a sluggish start to their season, owing largely to their inability to hold on to leads. They dropped points for a third game running in their 2-2 draw with Deportivo La Coruna last time out, racing to a two-goal lead in the first half via efforts from Miguel de la Fuente and Duk before letting it all slip in the final 20 minutes of the contest.
The visitors sit 14th in the table with three points from an obtainable nine and will be desperate to pick up their first win of the season this weekend against a newly-promoted outfit.
