Valladolid vs Leganes Prediction & Betting Tips (28 August)

The feat at the Bernabéu did not happen for La Pucela last weekend, who ended up getting slapped in the final minutes by conceding two goals in the last ten minutes 3-0. Valladolid held out for 50 minutes before a firecracker from Valverde on a free kick. In any case, not the slightest shot on target towards Courtois' cage is far too little to hope for anything, especially against a top player in the championship. Fortunately, Valladolid had not started its league campaign with a parity score or a defeat but with a success, against the other promoted side, Espanyol Barcelona 1-0. Here is the winner of last year's D2, Leganes.

The club from the principality of Madrid are not worried about their promoted status and simply beat Las Palmas last weekend at home 2-1 on the heels of their parity score in the Basque Country against Osasuna 1-1. It's been two games that the Pepineros have scored and this remains good for the confidence of the players on the pitch. This evening, Atlético Leganes travels to the pitch of an opponent that they did not beat last year in the two matches of the regular season 2 draws.

On the sidelines due to a hernia, Anuar will not start this game. With Kenedy (ex-Chelsea) these are the only major absences to report for La Pucela. Being still in the transfer window, it is always good to remember that the club owned by Ronaldo Nazario signed Moro from Lazio (Valladolid's sole scorer at the moment this season) without forgetting elements like Kike Perez, Cömert (Valencia , loan), Amath Ndiaye (Mallorca) without forgetting to mention Selim Amallah (return from loan) or even Karl Hein (Arsenal, loan), Victor Cavas (Granada), Stipe (LAFC), and Juric (Parma). In the other direction, Monchu (6 goals, 3 cakes last year in D2), Sergio Escudero (free, 3 goals, 3 caviars last year), Jordi Masip (passed by Barça), Alvaro Negredo (1 goal last season) and the promising Salazar (Estoril, 2 goals in 11 games) left the ship. In recent weeks, the club has hired Chasco (promotion to seniors) and put the end to Mario Martin (loan) and Latasa (transfer) from Real Madrid. On the Leganes side, in the best of all worlds, no player will be missing on call this evening. Slight uncertainty all the same around Seydouba Cissé (starter during the first two days).

Note that even Saenz (injured in preparation) returned to the match sheet last weekend (remained on the bench). Let's move directly to the very interesting transfer window of the promoted with in this case the free signing of Tapia (ex-Vigo), Oscar Rodriguez (Sevilla), Dmitrovic (Sevilla), Roberto Lopez (Real Sociedad), Rosier (Besiktas ), Juan Soriano (Tenerife) or even Enric Franquesa (Levante), author of a banger last weekend against Palmas. A match in which the late recruit, Munir El Haddadi (ex-Las Palmas, free) did not participate (probably in the group this evening). Conversely, note the departures of Undabarrena (important), Miramon (Larnaca), Luis Hernandez (Racing Ferrol) and even the starting goalkeeper Conde (transfer, Villarreal). Frenchman Djouahra (1 goal, 2 assists in D2) returned to Rijeka (end of loan).
