Leganes
The club from the Madrid suburb has been unable to enjoy a victory in the league for six matches, with two draws and four defeats. Borja Jimenez's side narrowly lost to Barcelona (0-1), and drew with Osasuna (1-1) and Leganes (0-0) in their last three La Liga outings. The team remains in the relegation zone but still has a chance to stay in the top flight, trailing the 17th safe spot by three points. Notably, the club has scored only 29 goals, with only Valladolid scoring fewer in this La Liga season with 23 goals.
- At least two goals have been scored in 7 of the last 10 league games.

The Catalans continue their slide down the standings, edging closer to the bottom three, from which they are only three points clear. Michel Sanchez's side is approaching this match with a 10-game winless streak in the league, having suffered seven defeats and three draws.

Leganes vs. Girona: Match Prediction
Both teams are in poor form, with long winless runs in the league. Therefore, the upcoming match is seen as an opportunity to improve their standings, especially since they are facing a direct competitor in the battle for survival in La Liga. I give a slight edge to the hosts, who, despite their poor results, have not suffered heavy defeats in the league and have not lost by more than one goal in their last seven matches.
Notably, in their last three La Liga matches, Leganes drew twice and narrowly lost only to league leaders Barcelona. Meanwhile, Girona is struggling at the end of the season. Moreover, in their last six away La Liga matches, the Catalans have picked up just one point, conceding at least two goals in five of those games.
My prediction – Leganes with a handicap (0)
