Looking to make a return to winning ways, Alaves will host a struggling Leganes on Friday night.

Starting with the hosts, after suffering back-to-back defeats, Alaves have their sights firmly set on making a return to winning ways and extend their buffer over the drop zone. In their 16 La Liga matches this year, they have recorded five wins, three draws, and eight defeats, scoring 17 and conceding 23 in return. With a points tally of 18, Alaves open the weekend in 15th and holding a five-point buffer from slipping into the relegation zone. As for their recent run of results on home soil, Friday’s hosts have lost just one of the last five matches that they have hosted, winning three of those appearances.

As for the visitors, while Leganes may have picked up a crucial victory last time out, they still find themselves in the midst of a real relegation scrap. In their 16 La Liga matches this year, they have recorded just two wins, three draws, and 11 defeats, scoring 11 and conceding 27 in return. Sat down in 19th and four points adrift of safety, it should also be noted that they hold the second-worst attacking record in the division. As for their recent run of results, losing four of their last six appearances, Leganes have also failed to record a single victory on the road this season.
