The action continues in round 24 of La Liga as Leganes play host to Alaves on Saturday. Eduardo Coudet’s men journey to the Estadio Municipal de Butarque unbeaten in their last six games against the hosts and will be looking to extend this impressive run.
Leganes failed to stop the rot last Sunday as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Valencia when the two sides squared off at the Mestalla Stadium.
Borja Jimenez’s side have now lost three straight matches, suffering league defeats against Rayo Vallecano and Valencia on either side of a 3-2 loss against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals on February 5.
Leganes have picked up 23 points from their 23 La Liga games so far to sit 17th in the league table, level on points with Espanyol and Las Palmas, and one point above the relegation zone.
Like the home side, Alaves continue to struggle for results at the bottom end of the table as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Getafe at the Mendizorrotza Stadium last time out.
Coudet’s men have failed to win 11 of their last 12 matches across all competitions, losing six and claiming five draws since early November.
With 21 points from 23 matches, Alaves are currently bottom but one in the La Liga standings, six points above last-placed Real Valladolid and two points away from safety.
