16/12/22 3629

Leganes are unbeaten in six straight games in the Segunda ahead of round No 21. El Lega will host Real Zaragoza on Monday night, with the chance to move closer to the top six.

Real Zaragoza are also on a good run of form in the Segunda. Los Manos are unbeaten in five straight games and winners of two of their last three Segunda fixtures.

Draws have been a common feature of Leganes’ season. Leganes have six draws, the joint third-most draws after 20 matches. Real Zaragoza have also seen a high number of stalemates, as they have collected seven from 20 fixtures.

El Lega took 10 points from the last six Segunda matches. Leganes scored eight goals and conceded six to the last six opponents. Each of El Lega’s last three games ended as draws.

Leganes are playing well at home with five wins, three draws, and two losses. Their last six games at home all ended without a defeat. The team is +3 in goals on their own turf.

Real Zaragoza picked up nine points from the last six games. Los Manos scored eight goals and allowed five during that time. Real Zaragoza are up and down on the road. Just nine points from 10 games were taken to start the season.

Los Manos drew their last two road games as goals were difficult to find. Real Zaragoza have scored just six goals on the road with nine being conceded. Los Manos failed to score in five of their last seven Segunda away fixtures.

Leganes posted five wins and one loss in their six most recent head-to-head games against Real Zaragoza. El Lega did the Segunda double over Zaragoza last term, by a combined score of 4-1.

Manager Imanol Idiakez has just one player on the absence list for Leganes, as Daniel Raba will miss the game due to a red-card suspension. Idiakez should have a fully fit team available otherwise.

Fran Escriba is well-travelled with five different managerial jobs under his belt. Escriba took charge of Real Zaragoza at the beginning of the season, intending to prevent relegation and possibly battle for promotion.

He will be without Cristian Alvarez until January due to an elbow injury. Forward Ivan Azon is a major doubt with a thigh muscle injury.

Draws have been common for both teams this season, and Monday’s fixture should finish 1-1, with neither side able to find a winning goal.
