Match Facts:
Leganes (17th, 27 pts):
- Asier Garitano's men have got something out of three of their last four home encounters. The odd one out was their 4-2 defeat to Real Madrid in their most recent fixture at Butarque.
- After going five games without a win, Leganes entered this matchday still perilously perched just one place – and five points – above the relegation zone.
Espanyol (9th, 46 pts):
- The Catalans are winless in their last five away trips and have only triumphed in one of their last nine matches on their travels. That victory came against Malaga CF at La Rosaleda back in February.
- Espanyol prevailed 3-0 in their only previous LaLiga Santander meeting with Leganes, with a Pablo Piatti brace and a Gerard Moreno goal sealing the spoils for Quique Sanchez Flores's side earlier this term. Furthermore, the two clubs have only ever met five times in all competitions and Los Pericos ran out victorious in four of those games.
