- Competition: Spain - La Liga
- Date: Thursday, 24th, April 2025
- Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CEST
- Venue: Estadio Municipal de Butarque (Leganes)
Two relegation-threatened sides are set to clash at Estadio Municipal de Butarque as Leganes welcome Girona for Thursday’s La Liga showdown.
Their winless stretch may have extended to six league outings, but grinding out a goalless draw on the road against Mallorca on the Balearic Islands is far from worthless, as Leganes remain very much in the survival race sitting just three points adrift of safety.
While last season saw Girona stun the league by punching their Champions League ticket with a remarkable third-place finish, this campaign has been a far cry from that glory as they were humbled 3-1 at home by Real Betis over the weekend, leaving them uncomfortably close to the bottom three.
Leganes vs Girona Betting Tips : BTTS
Both teams are enduring lengthy winless streaks and with the season reaching its climax and relegation fears mounting, they will both be desperate to grab all three points here, which could spark a lively showdown with goals flying in at both ends. On their own turf, Leganes have shown plenty of attacking spark as they managed to ripple the net in five consecutive home outings across all competitions before being blanked in a narrow one-goal defeat to Barcelona in their most recent showing at home. One of the main culprits behind Girona's current turmoils in La Liga has been their backline, which has made a number of cardinal errors of late, leading to a staggering 21 goals conceded in their troubling 11-game run without a victory. A porous defense combined with a well-equipped attacking unit has seen six of the last seven matches for the Catalan outfit end with a BTTS result, so it wouldn't be surprising if Leganes and Girona treat us to another goal fest, similar to their first encounter when Michel's side triumphed in a 7-goal thriller.

Leganes team news
Leganes will have to cope without full-backs Enric Franquesa and Borna Barisic, both ruled out for the rest of the season with ACL injuries, meaning Adria Altimira is expected to slot in at left-back.
Matija Nastasic and Yvan Neyou are considered doubtful after picking up minor injuries, but Borja Jimenez is expected to stick with the same lineup that held Mallorca to a goalless draw.

Girona team news
Arnau Martinez missed his team’s recent clash with Real Betis due to minor muscle issues, but his return to training this week has raised hopes he could start on Thursday.
With Bryan Gil and Ricard Artero still ruled out, all eyes will be on Abel Ruiz as the 25-year-old forward faces late fitness checks before the Leganes encounter.
