On January 31, Leganés will host Rayo Vallecano at Estadio Municipal de Butarque in an important La Liga matchup. The home team enters the contest following a draw in their previous fixture, while Rayo Vallecano is coming off a victory and will aim to maintain their winning momentum. Leganés currently holds the 14th position in the league standings with 23 points, whereas Rayo Vallecano sits 7th with 29 points. Despite the difference in their current rankings, Leganés has historically dominated this fixture, winning 67% of their previous La Liga encounters against Rayo Vallecano. Leganés, a team that gained promotion to La Liga last season, has shown solid performances at home, securing three victories in their last six matches across all competitions. Under the management of Borja Jiménez, the team has employed a cautious strategy, especially in the first half, prioritizing defensive stability before taking more offensive risks later in the match. This conservative approach is evident in their recent results, as Leganés has been level at halftime in six of their last nine matches, reflecting their preference for a measured start before transitioning to a more attacking game in the second half. Playing at home could work in their favor, considering Rayo Vallecano’s inconsistent away performances.
