The Spanish La Liga returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Leganes and Girona square off at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque on Thursday. Borja Jimenez’s men have failed to win their last six home games against Girona across all competitions and will be looking to end this poor 11-year run.
Leganes continue to struggle for results at the wrong end of the La Liga table as they were held to a goalless draw by Mallorca last Saturday.
Jimenez’s side have gone six straight matches without a win, losing four and claiming two draws since March’s 1-0 victory over Getafe.
Leganes have picked up 29 points from their 32 La Liga games so far to sit 19th in the standings, three points behind 17th-placed Las Palmas in safety.
Trending
Like the home side, Girona failed to pull clear of the danger zone last time out as they suffered a 3-1 loss against Real Betis at the Estadi Montilivi.
Michel’s men have now lost four back-to-back La Liga games and have failed to win their last 10 league outings, losing seven and claiming three draws since February's 2-1 victory over Las Palmas.
Having stormed to an impressive third-placed finish last season, Girona find themselves at risk of relegation as they sit 16th in the table, three points above the dotted line.
