Almeria will be hosting Leganes in Segunda Division in the battle for an automatic promotion slot this Saturday. Two winless outings in their last two league games meant Almeria stay rooted in third place on 56 points while Leganes are fourth, on 53 points. The two winless outings denied Almeria a chance to rise to second place in the league standings. They remain five points below the league leaders Mallorca and two below second placed Espanyol, who are in the automatic promotion spot. Almeria have two wins only in their last six league matches, and have lost three in the process. The fact that they don’t score a lot of goals has at some points this season proven detrimental to their targets. In their last 10 matches, Almeria have scored two goals or more in three, and they have three losses in the last 10 matches. Out of a possible 30 points in their last 10 matches, Almeria have secured just 15. However, they have a great run in Segunda Division when playing at home; they are unbeaten in eight and won six. They however have just two clean sheets in their last eight home matches in the league. The hosts have one loss and nine wins in their last 14 league games at home.

Leganes march to this game having won twice in their last five matches, but failing to score in three of the five. Just like Almeria, they are coming from a loss, 2-0 to Fuenlabrada but are packing up six wins in their last nine going to this game. They haven’t been the best scorers lately, with multiple goals in just one of their last five matches but they’ve done well defensively and they don’t concede a lot. In their last 15 matches, Leganes have conceded multiple goals in just three and that mix is what causes 10 of their last 15 matches to have ended in under 2.5 goals. It is worse away from home though; Leganes have three wins in 11 away league matches and have just four wins in 14 away league matches this season.
