Espanyol vs Real Betis

Leganés' fight to avoid relegation from La Liga intensifies this Sunday as they face Sevilla, a team still at risk of being drawn into the drop zone in the closing stages of the 2024–25 season.

Currently, Leganés sit 19th in the standings with 30 points, trailing 17th-placed Alavés by four points. Sevilla, meanwhile, occupy 15th place with 37 points, just five points clear of the relegation spots.

Sevilla's season has been underwhelming, recording nine wins, 10 draws, and 14 losses in 33 matches. This performance follows last season's 14th-place finish, their worst since the 1999–2000 relegation. Veteran coach Joaquín Caparrós has returned for his fourth stint to manage the team for the remainder of the season. Under his guidance, Sevilla have secured only one point from two matches—a home draw against Alavés and a 1-0 loss to Osasuna.

The team's recent form is concerning, with five defeats in their last six league games and no victories in nearly two months. Given this trajectory, Sevilla could find themselves in a relegation battle as the season concludes.

In their previous encounter this season, Leganés defeated Sevilla 1-0. However, Sevilla had won their last home match against Leganés 1-0 in December 2019.

Leganés are deeply entrenched in the relegation struggle, having amassed 30 points from 33 matches. They have lost only one of their last four league games—a defeat to Barcelona—but have drawn the other three against Osasuna, Mallorca, and Girona. Their last league victory dates back to March 2, highlighting the urgency for wins to escape the drop zone.

Away from home, Leganés have secured just one win but have managed eight draws in 16 matches. Sevilla, on the other hand, have only five home victories from 16 league games this season.

The upcoming match is crucial for both teams as they seek to secure their La Liga status. Leganés aim to capitalize on Sevilla's poor form, while Sevilla look to distance themselves from the relegation threat.
