Team News

Leganes
Valencia
  • Leganés are monitoring Neyou and Cissé's injuries. Neyou is recuperating from a muscle injury, while Cissé sustained a knock in the last match.
  • Munir is uncertain due to soleus problems, and Naïm is also injured, though this doesn't greatly affect Coach Borja Jiménez's decisions.
  • Valencia will need to manage without Diakhaby and Rafa Mir. Though Jaume and Gayà are back in training, they might not be ready for the squad until after the break.
  • Jesús Vázquez's recent injury adds to their list of absentees.
  • Coach Rubén Baraja faces decisions on altering the starting lineup post their last loss. Thierry is expected to rejoin the team, while Jesús Vázquez's absence could lead to Yarek starting
  • Barrenechea may replace Guillamón in midfield, with Almeida potentially stepping in for Javi Guerra.

Prediction

  • Leganes, currently in 16th place with seven points, showcased a solid defensive performance, having conceding only nine goals this season. Despite a recent dip in form with only two points from their last five matches, they are unbeaten in their last two games.
  • On the other hand, Valencia, struggling in 18th place with five points, have faced difficulties this season, managing only one win, two draws, and five defeats. Their recent 3-0 loss to Real Sociedad added to their challenges, with a total of 13 goals conceded in their first eight matches.
  • Leganes hold a four-game unbeaten streak against Valencia and claimed a 1-0 victory in their previous encounter. Valencia, seeking improvement, secured their first win against Girona after a slow start but followed it with a 0-0 draw against Osasuna.
  • Ruben Baraja's Valencia, finishing ninth last season, have not been able to replicate their previous success this term, remaining distant from their fourth-placed finish in the 2018/19 season.
  • As the season progresses, both teams aim for better performances. A win on Friday night could significantly boost their spirits before the upcoming October international break, setting the stage for a potential turnaround in their campaigns.
