Leganés - Valencia predictions

Beating Valencia will not be easy, but we believe Leganés are more than capable of doing so. The matchup is somewhat balanced, after all, so all three possible outcomes are still on the table.

Valencia will need to dig deep in order to get past the motivated hosts. An away win at 2.89 betting odds is considered a high risk but that’s exactly why the reward would be much sweeter.

Leganés are coming on the back of a decent performance in their previous away game at Rayo Vallecano . Although the game ended in a 1:1 draw, Leganés were trailing behind on half time. In the end, they managed to recover despite the fact top online bookmakers considered them clear underdogs, pricing an away win at 5.72.

The 3:0 defeat Valencia recorded in the previous round was harsh, but entirely predictable. The home-field disadvantage and severely unfavourable matchup against Real Sociedad were too high of a hurdle for almost any team to overcome, and they spent most of the game’s runtime struggling to keep up.

Whether they’re playing home or away, Leganés games are rarely as exciting as fans might want them to be. Thheir previous five outings all had less than 3 goals at the 90-minute mark.

The records show a rather unimpressive away game track record for Valencia. They’ve allowed more than 5 times in their latest 3 away outings.

Though we can’t say Leganés fared too well so far in the La Liga, they have 2 points separating them from the relegation zone. Winning the match on Friday would be great news for their table position, but the 3 points will not be easy to claim.

The 9 games Valencia played so far have not been kind to them. Though the season just started, they’re near the bottom of the table. Snatching 3 points away from a tough opponent like Leganés might just be the confidence boost they need to turn things around.

Our advice is to go for an Under 2.5 Goals market, though it was likely not your first instinct. While the probability is rather low compared to what you’re used to from Under 2.5 bets, it compares favourably to the 1.40 odds offered by Pncl.
