Leganes and Zarazoga face off at the Estadio Municipal Butarque for matchday 21 of the Spanish second division on Monday. Both teams find themselves languishing in mid table as we approach the midway mark of the league season. Leganes, sitting 12th with seven wins, six draws and seven defeats, are nine points behind leaders Eibar and are coming off a 1-1 away draw against FC Andorra in their last outing. The Pepineros have found it difficult to see out results lately, which has resulted in four of the last five matches ending as a draw. On a positive note, Leganes are on a current nine match unbeaten run in the LaLiga Smartbank, managing four wins during that stretch. They’ll fancy their chances of getting the three points here as the hosts have won five of their 10 home matches, losing just twice.

The visiting Zarazoga find themselves only two points behind their opponents today, with six wins, seven draws and seven defeats on the season. Los Blanquillos have put together a positive run of form as well and are currently on a five match unbeaten streak in the league. Like Leganes, Zaragoza have struggled to close out games and have seen three of the five matches on their current run end in draws. Their last result was an encouraging one however, smashing three goals past Huesca at home for a comfortable 3-0 win. Manager Fran Escriba will be hoping his team can carry over that performance away from home as Zaragoza have only managed to win two of their 10 away trips, losing five and drawing the other three.
