In a thrilling Spanish LALIGA encounter at Butarque, Leganés edged out Espanyol with a 3-2 victory. Leganés, playing a 3-4-3 formation, took an early lead through goals from Seydouba Cissé and Yan Diomande, before a Marash Kumbulla own goal extended their advantage. Espanyol, lined up in a defensive 5-4-1, fought back with late goals from Leandro Cabrera and Pere Milla, but it wasn't enough to salvage a point. The game was relatively balanced in terms of possession, but Leganés were slightly more clinical with their shots, converting 5 of their 13 attempts on target compared to Espanyol's 6 out of 12. The AI pre-game prediction correctly forecasted a Leganés win in what was expected to be a balanced match.
Leganés' win breaks a streak of draws and a loss, suggesting an upturn in form, albeit against an Espanyol side struggling for consistency. Their next match is away against a strong Villarreal, who have won their last three LALIGA games at home before losing to Celta Vigo. Espanyol, on the other hand, will face a daunting task against Barcelona, who are in excellent form domestically. Looking at their previous encounters, recent matches between Leganés and Espanyol have often been tight affairs, suggesting this match was no exception. Leganes recent performance in the last 5 matches before this one, suggests that the team does not perform well at home as they draw more games than they win. However, they played better in this game.
