LaLiga: CD Leganés vs. Athletic Club Predictions, Team News, and More
Pre-Match Analysis
LaLiga is back in action with another exciting matchday as CD Leganés welcomes Athletic Club to the Estadio Municipal de Butarque on Friday.
Leganés, currently sitting 19th in the table, will be desperate for a win to boost their chances of survival. Athletic Club, on the other hand, are looking to continue their push for a European spot.
Team News
Leganés will be without the suspended Kenneth Omeruo and the injured Javier Eraso. Athletic Club will also be missing suspended midfielder Ander Herrera.
Leganés coach Javier Aguirre is expected to make changes to his team after their disappointing defeat to Real Betis last weekend. He could bring in Juan Muñoz and Guido Carrillo to add more attacking threat.
Athletic Club coach Gaizka Garitano is likely to stick with the same team that beat Villarreal last time out. Raúl García and Iñaki Williams will lead the line, supported by the creative talents of Iker Muniain and Óscar de Marcos.
Prognosis
This is a tough match to call, but Athletic Club will be confident of getting a result. They have a stronger squad and are in better form than Leganés.
However, Leganés will be buoyed by the home crowd and will be determined to put on a good performance. If they can take an early lead, they will have a chance of causing an upset.
Overall, Athletic Club are the favorites, but Leganés should not be underestimated. A draw would be a fair result.
