Match Facts:
Leganes (16th, 21 pts)
- This fixture will have the feel of a cup final about it, with both teams desperate for three massive points in the relegation dogfight. The Butarque faithful will be looking to inspire their side to a second successive home victory following the 4-0 rout of RC Deportivo on Matchday 24, in what was another potentially pivotal showdown down at the bottom end of the table.
- The Madrilenians prevailed when the clubs met earlier in the season at Los Carmenes, with Alexander Szymanowski grabbing the only goal of the game.
Granada (18th, 19 pts)
- Although they remain in the drop zone, the Andalusians head to the capital with renewed belief that they can stay up in the wake of their 2-1 win over D. Alaves, which was their third home triumph in a row.
- On the other hand, Lucas Alcaraz's charges' prolonged travel sickness could yet prove costly. Indeed, Granada have garnered a measly three points on the road this term (D3 L10), the worst return in the division.
