Match Analysis

Sevilla's recent form has been less than stellar, with no victories in their last three matches. They suffered losses against Osasuna and Valencia, both with a 0-1 scoreline, and managed a 1-1 draw against Alaves at home. Their offensive struggles are evident, scoring an average of only 0.8 goals per game over their last five matches, while conceding 1.8 goals on average. Despite their higher expected goals (xG) of 1.136 per game, their conversion rates are letting them down. On the other hand, Leganes has also been struggling, recording two draws and a loss in their last three outings. They drew 1-1 with Girona and 0-0 with Mallorca, showing some defensive resilience, but failed to score against Barcelona, losing 0-1. Their average goals scored per game in the last five matches is a low 0.6, with an average of 2.0 goals conceded. Their expected goals scored (xG) is slightly better at 1.002, indicating potential that hasn't translated into goals.

Final Prediction

Sevilla's higher probability of winning is largely due to their home advantage and the overall quality gap between the two squads. Despite their recent dip in form, Sevilla has enough firepower and tactical acumen to overcome a Leganes side that has been porous in defense. A key factor to watch will be Sevilla's ability to capitalize on their chances, as their expected goals suggest they can create opportunities against a struggling Leganes defense.
