Almeria vs Leganes Prediction

Almeria have started the season strongly and are already among the forerunners to secure promotion to the top-flight. They come into the game as favorites against a struggling Leganes.

However, their poor historical performance against the Madrid outfit will give the visitors an extra edge. Nevertheless, we are backing Asier Garitano's side to secure maximum points with a comfortable victory.

Prediction: Almeria 2-0 Leganes
