Leganes vs Alaves prediction: Bore draw at Butarque
Key stats
- Our Leganes vs Alaves betting tips take into account that three of the last five matches in La Liga involving the Basque side have ended with one or fewer goals.
- The last four Leganes league matches have produced just four goals in total.
- Only two teams have drawn more matches in La Liga 2024/25 than Leganes (eight).
Correct score prediction: Leganes 0-0 Alaves
This is a classic relegation six-pointer, with two teams battling near the bottom of the table and looking short on goal threats.
While Leganes have beaten Barcelona and Atletico Madrid since the start of December, they’ve not beaten anyone else during that period. Both sides lack genuine attacking quality, and a low-scoring draw looks likely here.
