CD MirandesvsCD Leganes

The Clash of Contrasts

CD Mirandes and CD Leganes are set to face off in what promises to be a thrilling encounter. Mirandes, sitting comfortably in third place in La Liga 2, have been in impressive form, winning two of their last four matches. However, their home form is a cause for concern. They have lost all three of their home matches this season, failing to score in two of them. This could spell trouble against a Leganes side that has been unbeaten in their last eight away matches.

Leganes' Resurgence

Leganes, fresh off a historic first Segunda title, have been making waves in La Liga. Currently 15th in the standings, they are coming off a notable 1-0 victory against Atletico Madrid. Their recent form has been strong, with four wins in their last six matches. Despite this, they have struggled to find the net in their last two games, a trend they will be eager to reverse against Mirandes.

Head-to-Head Dominance

The history between these two sides heavily favors Leganes. In their last 12 meetings, Leganes have won seven times, with Mirandes managing just one victory. The most common result between these teams is a 0-0 draw, but with both teams' recent scoring patterns, a goalless game seems unlikely. Leganes have scored 2.2 goals on average against Mirandes, while Mirandes have struggled with just 0.6 goals per game.

Key Players and Missing Links

Mirandes will be without key players Unai Eguiluz and Postigo due to injuries, which could impact their defensive solidity. Meanwhile, Leganes will rely on their top scorers, Diaz Esposito and Munir El Haddadi, to break their recent scoring drought. With Mirandes conceding in each of their last 12 matches, Leganes will fancy their chances of finding the back of the net.

Prediction

Given the contrasting forms and historical dominance, Leganes are poised to take the win. However, with both teams' defensive vulnerabilities, expect both sides to score. This match could end with a 2-1 victory for Leganes, continuing their strong away form and Mirandes' home woes.
