Round 5 clash of two Primera sides, who struggle to create chances this season.
Deportivo La Coruna take on the visitors Leganes in the round 5 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played at Riazor Stadium on Thursday, September 22nd
Deportivo continue play in the same style they did in past couple of season, scoring small number of goals and playing confident at own turf. This season will be tougher for them as their top striker Lucas Perez moved to Arsenal. Deportivo scored only in one match this season in 2-1 win over Eibar on matchday 1 when Perez was still in the team and scored the winning goal. Following four matches ended with two 0-0 draws with Betis and Alaves and 0-1 loss to Athletic Bilbao. So Deportivo have five points in five matches and occupy 11th position in the league with 2-2 goal difference.
Leganes started the season with unexpected win over Celta Vigo, 1-0 and impressive 0-0 with Atletico Madrid. It seems it was the end of the fairytale and Leganes lost two following matches to Sporting, 1-2 and got thrashed by Barcelona, 1-5. The clash with quite even opponents who struggle to score should help the team to recover after this disappointing loss.
Deportivo and Leganes haven’t met before of football fields. Both teams are focused on denying opponents’ efforts and there are no notable goal-scorers in this teams. It gives us ground to expect a match with small number of chances and the winner will be decided by one goal.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
