Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the La Liga match.
Atlético Madrid hold their usual third place and are chasing the top two. This time, they face Leganés, who are just two points above the relegation zone.
Atlético Madrid
Atlético Madrid boast the league's best defence, conceding just five goals. However, they face significant issues in attack, as players often struggle with understanding each other, leading to a high number of errors in the opposition's half.
Leganés
The visitors, on the other hand, have the league's poorest attack, managing only five goals in nine rounds despite a total xG of 6.5. Yet, their defence isn't the weakest, allowing nine goals. Moreover, Leganés are unbeaten in the last three league matches. They are on the rise and capable of posing certain challenges to Atlético Madrid.
Atlético Madrid vs Leganés Prediction
The clubs did not meet last season, but we believe one outcome in this match is evident: it's unlikely the visitors will trouble Jan Oblak. Considering that even some of the best attacks in the league don't score against Atlético Madrid in every game, the weakest offence stands little chance.
