Leganes – Levante SOCCER PICKS
Leganés may close the 26th round of La Liga with a home game against Levante. The teams currently occupy the fourteenth and fifteenth place in the ranking, the winner is almost certainly free of the relegation football. Who can praise football after ninety minutes?
Leganés:
The Madrilenians perform especially in away games very changeable and although it fits the budget, you sometimes get the feeling that there is more to get out of the matches. Los Pepineros have already demonstrated more often this season to be able to tighten up the bunch in the back with three central defenders, so that the opponents regularly break up at the rear. With this player material it seems to be the only correct strategy for trainer Mauricio Pellegrino to play a role of meaning at the highest level. In home games the formation of Pellegrino performs a lot better, the club has not been defeated in Butarque even since September. With that, the capitals now have the longest series of matches without defeat of all teams in La Liga behind their name.
A big loss for the Madrid squad is the suspension of Youssef En Nesyri, he took his fifth yellow card in the game with Valencia. The 21-year-old striker already scored eight goals this season and may call himself the club top scorer. Furthermore, the supporters will keep the seats in the stadium empty for the first five minutes of the game, the fans do not agree with the fact that their team has to play regularly on Friday or Monday evening.
Levante:
Levante had a good part of the first half of the season at the top of the middle class, but since the end of last year performance has deteriorated. The club from Valencia was only able to win two of its last eleven wins, making Las Granotas now have to settle for fifteenth place in the rankings. In principle not a man overboard, but the team has to step up a bit to stay away from the relegation zone.
The program of the coming weeks offers some perspective to collect quite a few points, until April 28 the team of Paco López will not find any club from the current top six anymore. It also looks as if left-back Toño will soon be available again. The 29-year-old Spaniard was in prison for some time because of his alleged ties with a criminal organization, but is conditionally released. Furthermore, Levante has historically not much to fear for the opponent on Monday night, in 2002 was last lost of Leganés.
