Valencia vs Leganes: forecast for the Spanish Championship match

In the upcoming La Liga match between Valencia and Leganes, we can expect a productive game with an abundance of scoring chances. Both teams have difficulties in defense, but they have potential in attack, which makes a high-total scenario very likely. Valencia, despite the unstable results in the season, traditionally plays aggressively at the Mestalla. Carlos Corberan's team is striving to improve their position in the standings, and confident performances on their own field help them stay competitive. Los Ches have won their last two La Liga home matches, and their attack shows the ability to open up the opponents' defenses.

Leganes are also not reliable in defense, which is confirmed by their recent away matches. The team consistently concedes on someone else's field and in five of the last seven meetings on the road allowed the opponents to score at least twice. However, Leganes' attack is capable of causing problems for the hosts, especially considering their successful statistics against Valencia — in the last five face-to-face matches, Pepineros have not lost once. Given the vulnerability of both teams' defenses and their motivation to score points, we can expect open football and a high total of goals.

Our forecast is a total of more than 2.5 goals. We bet on this outcome with a coefficient of 2.65

Betting on the outcome

The match at the Mestalla between Valencia and Leganes will provide the hosts with an excellent opportunity to strengthen their position in La Liga. Valencia traditionally demonstrates a fighting spirit and a determination to win in their home matches. Despite the unstable results in the season, Corberan's team is confidently competing at the Mestalla. In the last game, they scored an important 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad, which confirms their ability to produce results at their home stadium. Leganes, in turn, is experiencing difficulties on the road. The team has not won in the last six away matches of La Liga, and their game against teams from the Valencia region also leaves much to be desired — they have lost seven of the last nine meetings. In addition, Leganes will approach this match with personnel losses, which may weaken their game in attack and defense. Historically, Valencia feels confident in their home games against Leganes, and they should take full advantage of this match.

Our forecast is a victory for Valencia with a coefficient of 1.83

Betting on statistics

An active and dynamic match is expected, as both teams have defensive problems and are playing with an emphasis on attacks. Valencia, playing on their own field, always makes efforts to create pressure on the opponent, which leads to a large number of shots on goal. In recent home matches, Los Ches have averaged more than four shots on target per game. Leganes, despite the difficulties in away games, also creates chances, often using long-range shots. In the last five away games, they have shot on target at least three times. Given the importance of this meeting for both teams, we can expect a large number of attacks and attempts to shoot through the goal.

Forecast — shots on target are more than 8.5 with a coefficient of 1.95
