Match Analysis

In recent performances, Mallorca has shown a mixed bag of results. They recently secured an impressive away win against Sociedad, defeating them 2-0, but faced setbacks with losses to Celta and Valencia. Mallorca's attacking efficiency is reflected in their average of 1.6 goals per game over the last five matches, coupled with a solid defensive record, conceding only 1.2 goals on average. Their expected goals metrics further support their attacking prowess, with 1.714 expected goals per game. Leganes, on the other hand, is on a challenging streak. Despite a commendable effort against Real Madrid, which ended in a narrow 3-2 loss, they managed only a draw against Osasuna and a close defeat to Barcelona. This struggling form is evident in their low goal-scoring average of 0.6 per match, while defensively, they concede an average of 2.0 goals per game. Their expected goals indicate potential for improvement, but their defensive vulnerabilities are evident.

Final Prediction

Mallorca's superior form and league standing give them a distinct advantage going into this match. Their ability to score and maintain defensive stability, as evident from their recent clean sheet against Sociedad, positions them well against a struggling Leganes side. A key factor to watch will be Mallorca's ability to capitalize on their scoring chances against a vulnerable Leganes defense, which could be decisive in securing the win.
