Leganes v Huesca Prediction, Tips and Bet Builder

It has been a miserable campaign for both sides in the second tier of Spanish football, but Leganes can make sure they stick around in the Segunda Division for another season with a victory over Huesca, whose fate could be sealed with a loss in this clash.

Leganes stand in 17th in the table, five points clear of danger and with most sides around them having just two games remaining.

One of those strugglers, Huesca, lie down in 20th, four points adrift of Cadiz, who occupy the last safe spot in 18th.

With four teams destined for the drop and just seven points separating the bottom six teams in the division, it promises to be a frantic final fortnight in the second division.

Leganes v Huesca Prediction

Best Bet: Leganes & under 2.5 goals @ 7/2

Leganes have been on a miserable run of form and have slipped down into a perilous position on the back of four straight losses.

Having been relegated from La Liga last term, much more was expected from Los Pepineros, but they will be happy just to avoid relegation with three games to go.

Their return to the second tier started quite well with four straight draws being followed by a win at Granada, but things gradually unravelled and just two wins from their last 14 matches have left them in a sticky situation.

However, things are even more grave for Huesca, who have only a win over Real Zaragoza to show for their efforts over the past 13 outings.

The Blue and Reds are four points adrift of safety, but things could look even worse after this trip to the Butarque, where a cagey home win looks like the best bet.

Leganes are unbeaten in their last four meetings with these opponents, who are winless on the road in seven and with both sides low on confidence, going low of three goals could also pay off.

Alternative Bet: Leganes to win 2-0 @ 17/2

These two have met on 11 occasions and only four of those have featured more than two goals, so, with so much at stake, expecting a cagey encounter at Butarque could yield a profit, with a 2-0 home win looking a solid wager.

It was 1-1 when these two sides met earlier this term and each of the last three meetings have featured no more than two goals.

Huesca have a decent record, they haven't fired a blank in five outings on the road, but two of their past four visits to this venue have seen them fail to score.

The visitors are averaging less than a goal-per-game on the road in the Segunda Division and it is hard to see them improving that figure with plenty of nerves likely to be running throughout the side.

Leganes have scored exactly two goals in four of their five meetings with Huesca on home soil and they could reach that mark again on Monday.

Leganes v Huesca Bet Builder Tip

• Leganes to win

• Under three goals

• Juan Cruz to score at any time

  Pays 14/1

Leganes are unbeaten in their four previous meetings with Huesca, so backing a home win looks a good starting point for a three-way bet builder in this crucial encounter.

The visitors have lost 15 of their 19 away league matches this season and they are in grave danger of relegation to the third tier.

Because of that, they could be at a low ebb for this clash, in which they may struggle to create any chances of score get any goals.

Under three goals looks like a decent second leg and in-form Leganes midfielder Juan Cruz can get his name on the scoresheet once again. 

The former Real Betis man has left his run late, but he has bagged three goals in his last nine outings and he may be one man playing with more confidence than those around him at Butarque.
