Will Atlético Madrid also win at Leganés?

Atlético Madrid remain at the top of the Spanish league. The “Rojiblancos” successfully defended the league lead last matchday, but their pursuer from Madrid is close behind. Only one point separates Atlético Madrid from city rivals Real Madrid. The next three points are targeted at Leganés. Our Leganes vs. Atletico Madrid betting tip is on the guests.

During the week, Simeone’s team already swept Elche out of the Copa del Rey. Atlético Madrid flexed their offensive muscles against the second division side and, despite rotation, secured a comfortable victory on foreign soil. The red-and-whites also warmed up for the upcoming encounter.

Leganés comes at the perfect time for the Madrilenians in their current form. The 16th-placed team is one of the weakest defenses in La Liga and has already conceded 29 goals in 19 games. It is quite possible that the defensive line will also be shown against the Madrilenians.

Leganes – Statistics & current form

Leganés is currently fighting to remain in the Spanish top flight. The promoted team only managed 19 points in 19 league games in the first half of the current league season, which is why their lead over the relegation zone is negligible at just three points. “Los Pepineros” have only managed a single point in the last two matchdays.

The 16th-placed team in the league took that point in the crucial league clash against Espanyol. Although Leganés played with the better xG value, they only managed a meagre draw against their direct rivals from Catalonia. They now face the league game against Atlético Madrid at home.

The team of head coach Borja Jiménez also played in the Copa del Rey during the week, just like the Madrilenians. Leganés booked their place in the quarter-finals with a 3-2 win over Almeria, thereby remaining unbeaten in all competitions for the third time in a row. However, ‘Los Pepineros’ have played two of these three competitive matches in the cup competition.

Will the home misery continue at Leganés?

At home, Leganés has lost the last three league games and now has a record of 3-1-5 in La Liga 2024/25 home games. Only Valencia have picked up even fewer points at home than the promoted side this season. In these nine home games, the opposition scored a total of 15 times in the Leganés goal – on average almost twice per game.

The newly promoted team has been particularly disappointing in their last few home games. After a clear defeat against Real Madrid (0-3), Leganes also lost the home games against Real Sociedad (0-3) and Villarreal (2-5). In these three matches, the “Los Pepineros”, who are weak defensively, conceded a total of 11 goals. A clean sheet can also be ruled out against the concentrated offensive of the “Rojiblancos” from Madrid.

Head coach Borja Jimenez will have to do without at least two players in the squad in the upcoming match. In addition to the injured Franquesa, Soriano, who is banned for red, is also missing in the match against the Madrilenians. There are currently no other personnel concerns. With four goals to his name, Juan Cruz is one of the few bright spots in the promoted team’s offense.

Atletico Madrid – Statistics & current form

Atlético Madrid caused a stir in the Copa del Rey, sweeping aside second-division Elche CF 4-0. The “Rojiblancos” established a clear superiority before half-time and went into the break after two goals from former Leipzig player Alexander Sörloth. After the break, Riquelme and Alvarez scored two more goals for the La Liga leaders to make the final score 4-0.

The focus is now back on the league. Atlético Madrid are currently fighting for the championship and are in the lead with 44 points. However, their rivals Real Madrid are hot on the heels of the “Rojiblancos”. Only a single point separates the two city rivals ahead of the upcoming league game.

Judging by the recent form of the Madrilenians, it is obvious that Atlético Madrid will successfully defend the league lead this weekend. Simeone’s team has won each of its last 15 competitive games, making it one of the most in-form sides in Europe.

Can Atlético continue their winning streak?

In the cup, Atlético Madrid already warmed up for the upcoming La Liga match. Although some changes in the starting lineup are to be expected, it cannot be ruled out that Atlético Madrid will once again deliver an offensive fireworks display. The red and whites have already scored 34 goals in the current league competition, which means they have scored almost two goals per match.

In away games, Simeone’s team have played nine league games with a record of 5-3-1. Since the defeat to Betis, Atlético Madrid have won each of their last three away games, scoring eight goals. They also celebrated a coup at FC Barcelona, among other things. The “Rojiblancos” beat the Catalans 2-1.

Simeone will likely only have to do without Gimenez due to injury in the upcoming game. The visitors do not have any other personnel concerns. Compared to the team that last played in the cup, numerous changes can be expected for the Madrilenians. If you want to place bets on goal scorers, you will find them at Winamax Sports Betting.

Leganes – Atletico Madrid Head to head / H2H record

In these 13 meetings, Atlético Madrid scored 18 goals – on average, more than one goal per game. In the first leg of the current season, Atlético won 3-1 against Leganés. A similar result cannot be ruled out in the second leg of the tie.

Leganes – Atletico Madrid Tip
