Action continues in round two of La Liga as Leganes and Las Palmas go head-to-head on Sunday (August 25). Luis Carrion’s men are winless in six visits to Leganes' Estadio Municipal de Butarque since May 2015.
The hosts were denied a dream start to their new La Liga campaign, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Osasuna at the El Sadar Stadium last Saturday. That followed a solid run of results in pre-season, where Borja Jimenez’s side won two of five warm-up games, losing one.
Leganes are coming off a remarkable 2023-24 campaign, clinching the La Liga 2 title to secure promotion.
Meanwhile, Las Palmas turned in a resilient display in last week’s season opener, fighting back from behind twice to salvage a 2-2 draw with Sevilla at the Gran Canaria Stadium.
That followed an unconvincing run of results in pre-season, where Carrion’s men won two of their seven friendlies, losing twice. However, following the draw with Sevilla, Las Palmas men have gone 13 straight La Liga games without a win.
