CD Leganés – Levante Soccer Prediction
Butarque prepares for one of his last matches of the course when the pepineros receive the visit of the already saved Levante match of the 36th round of the Santander League. CD Leganés continues to make history, playing an excellent season. The table pepinero got for the first time in a semifinal after starring the big surprise of the tournament to eliminate Real Madrid, which defeated by 1-2 at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The team from the south of Madrid occupies the 15th position in the table, with 40 points in 35 days. The Lega faces his second season in the highest competition of Spanish football with greater enthusiasm than the last, in which he had little trouble maintaining the category. Asier Garitano continues to lead the cucumber box, which will have more than 41 million euros in budget. To try to improve the performance given last year, the Lega has invested just over 6 million euros in the definitive purchase of the Greek powerhouse Siovas and right-back Tito, apart from the purchase of Genoa from another power station, Ezequiel Muñoz. The Real Sociedad assigns them to right-back Joseba Zaldúa, while the goal Nereo Champagne arrives from the Argentine Olympus. In addition, free left-back Raúl García, just ex-Alavés; midfielder Gerard Gumbau, formed in Barça B; the playmaker Javi Eraso, former Athletic Club Bilbao; the center of the Eibar Mauro dos Santos; and the goal Iván Cuéllar, ex-Sporting de Gijón. In the final hours of the transfer market, Celta gave forward Claudio Beauvue and Watford, Nordin Amrabat.
The Lega drew in their last home match against Deportivo de La Coruña before losing at the Santiago Bernabéu last weekend.
Once Probable: Cuellar – Zaldua, Bustinza, Siovas, Rico – Eraso, Rubén Pérez, Gabriel – El Zhar, Amrabat, Guerrero.
Levante changed coach almost two months ago, replacing Muñíz with Paco López. Since then, the Granota have staged a huge comeback, leaving salvation closed to the defeat of Sevilla last day. The change of coach seldom had such an immediate effect, starting a three-game winning streak in the four games with the new coach on the bench that has helped them distance themselves by 9 points in the relegation zone. The Levantista table has 40 points in 35 games and a balance of 9 wins, 13 draws (two against Real Madrid) and 13 defeats.
One of the keys to this comeback is that the Valencian team was one of the teams that strengthened most in the winter market after losing steam after a great start of the championship, where it was placed in 5th place after the first 5 days .
Eleven Probable: Oier – Coke, Rober Pier, Postigo, Luna – Doukoure, Morales, Lukic, Ivi – Lerma, Boateng.
The dynamics are opposite in one and the other team, tied to points in the table, and saved one more year. It will be a more relaxed game than expected, in which visitors can continue their great run although perhaps with salvation in hand, they can leave more calm. The prognosis is that Valencians are going to take at least one Butaque point.
