Leganes vs Getafe – La Liga – Preview

Posted on September 7, 2017 by Sreya

Leganes vs Getafe – Leganes hosts Getafe at the Butarque on 8th September, Friday in a La Liga encounter crucial for the two clubs.

Leganes have made a perfect start to the new season with two wins from their first two games – 1-0 wins against Alaves and Espanyol have placed Asier Garitano’s side third in the league table. Although such a perfect record will be difficult to maintain over the course of the season, Leganes are the favorites this Friday against a struggling Getafe.

Getafe had two immensely difficult fixtures to start their season with – a goalless draw at Athletic Bilbao was followed by a 1-0 loss against Sevilla at home. They hit the road again in search of their first points of the season.
