Leganes have a record of five wins, nine draws and 11 defeats from their 25 league matches this season, with a total of 24 points leaving them in 16th spot, just one point outside of the relegation zone.

Borja Jimenez's side are the reigning Segunda Division champions, and survival would have been their number one aim at the start of the campaign, so by that standard, it has been a successful season to date.

Leganes just need to be careful that their recent winless run does not stretch too many more matches, though, as they are without a victory in their last six, including five La Liga fixtures.

Indeed, El Lega have just two points to show from their last five league matches, and they will enter this game off the back of a 3-0 defeat to Real Sociedad last weekend, which proved to be their fifth away league loss of the campaign.

Leganes have picked up 14 points from their 12 league matches on home soil this season, which is not a disastrous record, but Getafe have 14 points from their 12 La Liga games on their travels, while they have conceded only 12 times away from home.

Getafe brought a six-game unbeaten run in the league into their clash with Real Betis last weekend, with the capital giants rising up the table thanks to four wins from their last six fixtures in Spain's top flight.

However, Jose Bordalas's side were undone on home soil, with Isco netting a brace, and Borja Mayoral's 82nd-minute effort only proved to be a consolation for the Deep Blue Ones.

Getafe are currently in 14th spot in the table, seven points outside of the relegation zone, while they are only five points off sixth-placed Rayo Vallecano, so a European finish is still possible this season.

The capital team's success has been built on a strong defensive record, having only conceded 20 times in their 25 matches, which is the second-best record in the division behind Atletico Madrid (16), but finding the back of the net has been a problem, managing just 21, which is the second-worst attacking record behind basement side Real Valladolid (16).

Getafe were held to a 1-1 draw by Leganes in the reverse meeting between the two sides earlier this season, but they recorded a 3-0 victory on their last visit to Estadio Municipal de Butarque in La Liga back in January 2020.
