Leganes know that even a win in their last game won’t improve their position of 16th in the LaLiga table, while Alaves still have a chance of jumping one spot to 8th if they can find a way to win.

Match Preview

Ahead of our Leganes vs Alaves preview, the home side have lost just once in their last four games, a late rally that has helped to secure top-flight football for another season. That run was in stark contrast to Leganes form since December - they had won just twice in twenty-three outings since before Christmas.

• Leganes 3-0 Las Palmas
• Eibar 2-0 Leganes
• Leganes 4-0 Real Betis
• Athletic Club 1-1 Leganes

Alaves are one of LaLiga’s most in-form sides and are in a sequence of six games unbeaten, winning four and drawing the other two. Our Leganes vs Alaves prediction must take into account Alaves terrific recent record in defence, where they have conceded just six goals in their last eight games. Alaves have conceded the same number of away goals (21) as champions elect Real Madrid.

The sides played out a pulsating 2-2 draw when the met in the reverse LaLiga fixture at the end of January and another close game is expected at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque on Saturday.

• Alaves 0-0 Eibar
• Real Betis 1-4 Alaves
• Alaves 1-0 Athletic Club
• Alaves 3-1 Celta Vigo

Leganes vs Alaves Prediction and Betting Advice

With very little to play for on Saturday, our Leganes vs Alaves tips reflect the kind of tight contest the fixture should be. Alaves are in great form but they travel to a Leganes side whose LaLiga safety was only just secured – that means their players will be in the celebratory mood and can play with the shackles off in the final game in front of what should be a boisterous home crowd.

These sides are too difficult to separate given the various factors involved, so I’m going to sit on the fence and predict a draw in this one.
