Leganes and Real Valladolid draw the curtain on their La Liga campaign when they lock horns at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque on Saturday. While the visitors have been relegated, Borja Jimenez’s Leganes are two points away from safety, making this weekend’s clash a must-win one to preserve their top-flight status.
Leganes picked up three huge points in their push for survival, with a 1-0 victory over Las Palmas at the Gran Canaria Stadium last Sunday. It followed a 3-0 defeat to Villarreal on May 14, which snapped their four-match unbeaten run in the league.
Leganes have 37 points from 37 games to sit 18th in the standings, two points behind 17th-placed Espanyol just above the relegation zone.
Valladolid, meanwhile, were left empty-handed yet again, with a 1-0 defeat to Alaves at the Jose Zorrilla Stadium last time out.
