Espanyol vs Leganes Prediction 20.10.2023

• Competition: Spain &— Segunda Division
• Date: Friday, 20th, October 2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC +1 / 21.00 CEST
• Venue: Stage Front Stadium (Cornella de Llobregat)

On Friday, Espanyol and Leganes, the top-performing teams in the ongoing Segunda Division, will face each other in a thrilling match at the Stage Front Stadium to determine the leader of the league.

Espanyol has been a consistent member of the elite for many years. However, due to a lack of financial investments in recent times, the club has faced numerous struggles to stay afloat. Unfortunately, last season they finished second to last, resulting in relegation from La Liga. Determined to quickly regain their position in Spanish football’s top tier, the Catalan team has adapted well to their new circumstances, as seen in the current league standings. After playing 11 matches, Espanyol has accumulated an impressive 23 points, leaving all other teams far behind.

After finishing the previous two seasons in 12th and 14th place, far from playoff contention in the second Spanish division, there were not many who believed that Borja Jimenez’s squad would have such a strong start to the 2023-24 Segunda División campaign. Despite not being one of the big-budget teams, Leganes has proven to be the best team in terms of football, only behind Espanyol. This suggests that they are serious contenders for a return to La Liga after being absent for four years. Additionally, Los Pepineros have prepared themselves perfectly for their toughest challenge yet by defeating Amorebieta 6-0 and currently holding a strong second place in the table with 23 points. They are just one point behind the leaders, Espanyol.

Espanyol vs Leganes Betting Tips: Espanyol to Win

After capitalizing on Tenerife’s draw and comfortably defeating Real Valladolid, Espanyol has reclaimed their position as the top team in the table. They are only one point ahead of Leganes, their next opponent, and are determined to maintain their lead in the Segunda Division after the 12th week. Espanyol’s impressive home record, earning 13 out of a possible 15 points in five matches (winning four and drawing one), will play a crucial role. They have scored an impressive 15 goals, averaging three goals per game.

Although Los pepineros visit Catalonia after achieving the biggest win in their club history, thrashing Amorebieta 6-0, we feel that Periquitos have the attacking resources needed to quickly bring them back down to earth. Indeed, one of the pivotal factors behind Espanyol’s impressive season start lies in their lethal attacking unit, having netted 22 goals, making them Segunda’s top scorers. In this top-of-the-table clash, with the advantage of playing at home and considering all other factors, we predict that Espanyol will demonstrate their true caliber precisely when it’s needed and secure the maximum three points!
