Leganes will play host to Levante at Estadio Municipal de Butarque in Segunda División action on Sunday.
Leganes vs Levante Preview
The two sides are getting on with their respective campaigns, full of ambition and energy. The hosts boast of nine wins out of 23 league contests, drawing six and losing eight times. Leganes occupy the eighth spot with 33 points – seven shy of Levante and 12 below the leaders Las Palmas. They could leap into the playoff zone if they win on Sunday.
Los Pepineros finished 12th out of 22 teams in the Segunda División last season and last played in La Liga in 2019-20. They are hoping to make it this time but need to produce more consistent performances. Leganes have been unconvincing on the road so far but have shown dominant qualities at home.
The visitors are title chasers. They were relegated from La Liga last term after finishing 19th out of 20 teams. Levante are impatient for a return to the top flight and want it via the automatic promotion spots – No.1 and No.2. They sit third with 40 points, three points below Eibar and five below table toppers Las Palmas.
Granotes have won 10 league games out of 23, drawing 10 and losing three. They boast of three wins in their last five meetings.
