Leganés vs Huesca: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from "Butarque" played in La Liga last season and even collected 40 points, but still immediately dropped back to the second division. Now, they are at risk of sinking further—results have been very modest. Especially in the decisive period over the past month, little has gone right. They also lost to Racing in the previous round.
The team from "El Alcoraz" was fighting for a return to La Liga a year ago, just missing the playoff zone—finishing eighth with 64 points. This season, their performance has notably dropped, and from mid-February to the end of April, they didn't win at all, only later managing a 1-0 victory against Zaragoza—after which they lost to Racing and Real Sociedad B.
The players who were decent in La Liga just a year ago are now scoring only 1.08 goals per game and conceding 1.23 at this lower level. Their rival scores 1.03 goals per game but concedes almost twice as many—1.56 per match.
