La Liga action resumes after the winter break on matchday 19 with a crucial relegation six-pointer between Espanyol and Leganes on Saturday. This match at the RCDE Stadium between the hosting 18th-placed Parakeets and the visiting 15th-placed Cucumbers comes with our prediction of under 2.5 goals.
Espanyol has 15 points and is one point adrift of safety, while Leganes has 18 points and is marginally above their hosts. Espanyol lost 1-0 away to Las Palmas in their last match before the break, making it a sixth defeat from their last nine league games.
There’s still hope for the home fans of avoiding the relegation, as their recent form at this venue is impressive. Espanyol won four and drew two of their last eight home league games.
Leganes also went into the break on the back of a defeat, losing 5-2 at home to Villarreal. That continued their indifferent form with five defeats from their last nine league games but never lost two games in a row.
In fact, the visitors haven’t lost consecutive league games since three defeats in a row in mid-September. The challenge is to convert form into points, especially on the road, as Leganes have drawn three and won one of their last six away league games.

Our Espanyol vs Leganés Prediction
Espanyol and Leganes played each other in the Segunda Division last year and are now desperate to avoid an immediate relegation from La Liga. Leganes are in a relatively better position, although with only three points separating them, there’s not much to rejoice for the away fans. There isn’t much to rejoice in their scoring records either, as both clubs are among the lowest-scoring teams of this season in La Liga. That could reflect here as a low-scoring game is more likely, and our prediction for Espanyol vs Leganes is under 2.5.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
