Leganes vs Real Zaragoza Prediction and Betting Tips | December 19th 2022

Leganes v Rayo Vallecano - La Liga Smartbank Playoffs
Leganes will face Real Zaragoza - Segunda Division

Leganes will host Real Zaragoza at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque on Monday in another round of the Segunda Division campaign.

The home side are currently enjoying an upturn in form after a wretched start to their season but have particularly struggled to pick up wins of late. They played out a 1-1 draw against FC Andorra last time out, with Guinea international Seydouba Cisse scoring a near-instant leveler just minutes after their opponents had taken a spectacular lead.

Leganes have picked up 27 points from 20 games this season and sit 12th in the Segunda Division table. They will be looking to return to winning ways when they play next week.

Real Zaragoza have had mixed results this season but are playing well at the moment as they continue their push for the top half. They picked up a clinical 3-0 home win over Huesca in their last game, with three different players getting on the scoresheet, including Atletico Madrid loanee Giuliano Simeone.

The visitors sit two points and three places behind their midweek opposition in the league table and will now be looking to leapfrog them with maximum points on Monday.
