Leganes vs Celta Vigo Preview

Leganes will be forced to stick with Darwin Machis on the right flank, unless Omar Ramos somehow recovers from a quad injury in time. David Timor, Ruben Perez and Gabriel will need to keep their discipline in check, as they are all one booking away from a ban. Roberto Ibanez, Serantes and Kone are out injured while Alberto is doubtful.

Celta Vigo will continue with Sergio Alvarez between the sticks with regular stopper Ruben Blanco out for at least another couple of weeks. Pablo Hernandez is expected to return to the side after being rested for Celta’s cup triumph over Real Madrid. He’ll look to get forward and support Iago Aspas who will be a real handful for the hosts to contend with.

Leganes vs Celta Vigo Prediction

Leganes are in poor form at the moment and sit just one place above the relegation zone. Luckily for them, the teams below have been even worse this season and they are safe by 5 points heading into this weekend’s round of fixtures. Estádio Municipal de Butarque hasn’t been a happy hunting ground for them and they need to improve their home form to stay out of danger.

Celta Vigo are pushing for European qualification and can be confident of a top-half finish in La Liga. They had won six in a row prior to slipping-up away to Real Sociedad in their latest league game. However, the grit and determination they showed to beat the league leaders in the Copa del Rey ensures they come into this game on a high.

Leganes have won just one of their last ten home matches in all competitions. Meanwhile, Celta Vigo have won four of their last seven on the road and have only tasted defeat twice during that spell. The visitors have that bit extra going forward and I believe it will tell over 90 minutes.
