Expert’s Overview

In the sixth round of , two teams widely considered contenders for promotion to La Liga will clash. However, the reality has been harsher than expected: both Leganes and Las Palmas have started the season below expectations, with a top-6 finish currently remaining just an ambition.

Leganes Form Analysis

Leganes, under the guidance of Pacho Lopez, are undefeated at the start of the campaign, but four consecutive draws before the last match were frankly disappointing. The hosts frequently lose concentration, letting winning positions slip. Their 2-0 victory over Granada was their first of the season, yet in terms of play, the team was inferior in almost all aspects. Granada significantly outshot them (13-5), dominated possession (53-47%), and generally looked much better. Offensively, there are still issues, with only six goals scored in five rounds. Defensively, however, they are stable, keeping two clean sheets and conceding only four goals.

Las Palmas Form Analysis

Las Palmas have shown a clear inconsistency: a confident 3-1 victory over Cordoba was followed by a toothless 0-1 home defeat to Malaga. In their match against Sociedad B, the visitors dominated possession (63%) but faltered in the final moments, barely holding onto a minimal 2-1 lead. Luis Garcia’s team clearly lacks stability and appears significantly more vulnerable in away fixtures. Notably, Las Palmas have identical goals scored and conceded records with Leganes (6:4).

Overall Prediction

Both teams are currently performing below their potential. Moreover, Leganes and Las Palmas typically play low-scoring matches. The hosts have seen under 2.5 goals in four out of five games, while for the visitors, this has occurred three times this season. I anticipate a tough contest with a limited number of goals.
