On Sunday afternoon, Sevilla travel to Leganes in La Liga as the Andalucian’s attempt to keep pace with league leaders Barcelona.

Leganes have endured a poor campaign so far in La Liga and sit 16th place in the table, just three points above the relegation zone. The home side’s main problem this season has been scoring goals, as they have scored just 15 goals in their 16 league outings this season.

The home side are now six games unbeaten in La Liga, although four of those six unbeaten games have finished in draws. Leganes recent matches in the Spanish top-flight have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in nine of their last ten league games.

Mauricio Pellegrino’s side are now unbeaten in five home games in La Liga, recording three wins and two draws in the process. Leganes recent home matches in La Liga have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last four games.

Sevilla are currently second in La Liga, three points behind reigning champions and league leaders Barcelona. A 2-0 home win over Girona last time out means that Pablo Machin’s side are now unbeaten in seven league games.

The Andalucian’s recent games in the Spanish top-flight have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six matches.

The visitors have struggled for wins on their travels of late in La Liga, failing to win in their last four league games. However, Machin’s team have drawn their last three La Liga games on their travels.

Sevilla’s recent games on their travels in La Liga have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last three matches.

Forebet predicts that the Andalucian’s will record a victory in a low scoring match to stay in touch with Barcelona.
