Leganes will take on Deportivo on Monday, 1 September, as part of the third round of La Liga 2 matches this season.
The hosts come into this match still searching for their first win of the new season, which wouldn't have been how they were hoping to start the season following relegation from La Liga last season.
Deportivo, meanwhile, have picked up four points from their first two matches, putting their dismal end to last season behind them.

Leganes vs Deportivo prediction: Another draw on the way
Key Stats
- The last time these two teams met, the match finished all square.
- Four of Leganes' last five matches have finished as draws.
- Fewer than three goals have been scored in three of Leganes' last four league matches.
Correct score prediction: Leganes 1-1 Deportivo
Although Leganes are the superior team, they do seem somewhat stuck in a rut at the moment, and given how confident the visitors currently are, it's difficult to see them finding their first win of the campaign this weekend. Deportivo have won just one of their last five away matches, though, so it's difficult to imagine them winning, too.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Tough to call
- HOME: 21/20 (2.05) – 48.8%
- DRAW: 2/1 (3.00) – 33.3%
- AWAY: 23/10 (3.30) – 30.3%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Leganes preview: Cruz continues to be absent
Juan Cruz is yet to make an appearance for Leganes since their relegation from La Liga, and the forward is angling for a way out of the club. He has even gone as far as to request long-term paternity leave, so he will certainly miss out here. Ruben Polido is still waiting to make his debut for the club and is in contention to do so on Monday.
Predicted lineup: Soriano (GK), Pena, Saenz, Aguilar, Marvel, Garcia, Diawara, Cisse, Duk, Garcia, De la Fuente

Deportivo preview: A debut for Stoichkov?
New striker Stoichkov could make his first appearance for the club after signing on loan from Granada, but he will most likely have to settle for a place on the bench for now. Jose Jurado missed the end of last season with a groin injury and he still isn't ready to return.

Player to watch: Miguel de la Fuente
If there are any positives about being relegated, then Leganes will believe that they should get the 2023/24 version of Miguel de la Fuente back. The centre forward struggled with the jump in quality in La Liga last season, but he should excel once again at this level. After two games, he has already matched his goalscoring tally from last season.
