Leganes vs Osasuna Preview

• Competition: La Liga
• Date: 7 April 2025
• Kick-off Time: 7:00 pm GMT
• Venue: Estadio Municipal de Butarque, Leganes, Spain

Matchday 30 of the 2024/25 La Liga season will include Leganes welcoming Osasuna at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque on Monday evening to close out the round of fixtures. Leganes is in a spot of bother and is struggling in the relegation zone with just 27 points on the board. Osasuna, on the other hand, is in 14th with 34 points and looks set for a mid-table finish. The Leganes vs Osasuna fixture will be a key one in the context of the overall shape of La Liga 2024/25.

Leganes will be disappointed with how the recent games have played out. In the last six games, the club has managed just a single victory to go with four defeats and a draw. Leganes arrived in the topflight of Spanish football this season after four years in the Segunda division and was always going to find it tough to survive. Yet, the fans can be proud of the displays and the commitment shown by the players, such as against Real Madrid last weekend, where the minnows took the Los Blancos to their limit and lost only by a single goal margin. Daniel Raba has been the top scorer (six) as well as the top assister (four) for Leganes.

Osasuna will also not be satisfied with its latest results. Osasuna has accumulated three defeats and three draws in the last six matches. The club's winless run stretches to eight games.

At the moment, Osasuna is not in a spot of bother, occupying the 14th spot with 34 points. However, Vicente Moreno will be aware that further unfavorable results will put his side's survival in the top tier in jeopardy, which will be considered nothing less than a disaster. Osasuna has scored 1.1 goals per match in La Liga which is the ninth highest in the league.

Leganes Team News

Leganes will have to negate the Osasuna threat without the services of Oscar Rodriguez (Suspended), Borna Barisic (Cruciate Ligament Injury), and Enric Franquesa (Cruciate Ligament Injury). The three absentees will surely shake up the plans of Leganes coach, Borja Jimenez.

Osasuna Team News

The Osasuna team will travel to Leganes without Iker Munoz (Broken Toe) and Unai Garcia (Physical discomfort). The main worry for the fans will be the potential absence of Bryan Zaragoza, who is recovering from a hamstring injury but has his chance of participating in the contest.
