The Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan is set to host a clash this Sunday, 4 May, as Sevilla take on Leganes in a LaLiga battle. Sevilla, currently 15th, and Leganes, sitting 19th, are both desperate for points to secure their top-flight status. Neither side has managed a win in weeks—Sevilla are winless in six matches, while Leganes have gone seven without victory—making this fixture a potential turning point in their seasons.
Historically, Sevilla have had the upper hand in this matchup, winning nine of their last 18 meetings with Leganes. However, recent form paints a different picture, with Leganes claiming victory in their most recent encounter, a result that could boost their confidence. While Sevilla’s home record against Leganes has been strong, with six wins in the last eight meetings, their current struggles at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan—seven matches without a win—raise doubts about their ability to make home advantage count. The most common result between these sides, a 1-1 draw, underscores the competitive nature of this rivalry.
Both teams are under immense pressure, not only from their league positions but also from their own shortcomings. Sevilla’s goal difference of -9 is slightly better than Leganes’ -19, but their failure to score in three home games this season is a concern. Leganes, on the other hand, have struggled offensively on the road, failing to score in six of their last 16 away matches. Key players Dodi Lukebakio and Daniel Raba will be crucial, with Lukebakio’s 11 goals and Raba’s seven providing rare bright spots in otherwise challenging campaigns.
This match could define the season for both sides. Discipline will be vital, particularly for Sevilla, who lead LaLiga in red cards. With survival on the line, expect a fiercely contested battle where every moment could prove decisive.

Betting Predictions
Primary bet:Under 2.5 goals @ 6/4
Sevilla’s 60.68% probability for Under 2.5 goals, combined with the defensive frailties of both sides, makes this a strong value option. Sevilla have averaged 0.95 goals per match at home this season, while Leganes have managed 1.22 goals per match on their travels, indicating both teams are capable of contributing to a high-scoring affair. Although their historical meetings average just 1.8 goals per match, Sevilla’s defensive struggles—conceding in each of their last six fixtures—point towards a greater likelihood of goals in this encounter.
Secondary bet:Home Win @ 4/5
The secondary bet on a Sevilla home win is backed by their historical dominance in this fixture, with six victories in their last eight home matches against Leganes. While Sevilla are currently enduring a six-match winless streak, their superior goal difference of 14-9 at home against Leganes underlines their past strength in these clashes. Additionally, Leganes’ poor away form, with no wins in their last six away fixtures, bolsters confidence in a Sevilla victory, even as both teams look to regain form.
