The Madrid-based side have not won in their last eight matches, with their most recent six games yielding four draws and two losses. Defensively, they have shown some resilience, keeping one clean sheet and conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game.

Leganés have shown a tendency for low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their last six matches featuring under 2.5 goals. Despite their poor run, the team's ability to secure draws against the likes of Sevilla and Girona suggests they are fighting hard to avoid relegation.

RCD Espanyol

Their impressive run of victories included a standout 4-0 away thrashing of Rayo Vallecano, which was their highest-scoring match in this period. Despite their current 14th position in La Liga, Espanyol have demonstrated solid defensive capabilities, conceding only 0.67 goals per game in their last six matches and keeping three clean sheets. Their goal-scoring record has been respectable, averaging 1.5 goals per game, although 67% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals. Interestingly, both teams have scored in only a third of these games, suggesting Espanyol have been involved in some tight, low-scoring affairs. Their current form indicates a team capable of both impressive performances and disappointing results, reflecting their mid-table position in La Liga.
