So mediocre in the league, they sit 19th on the standing, having garnered no more than 14 points from 19 games so far. Just three points ahead of basement club Espanyol, they have been tipped as one of the clubs to make the drop come the end of the season.

Getafe have been enjoying a much better campaign than their foes so far this season. Proving a handful for many sides, even on the road, the visiting contingent will fancy grabbing a comfortable victory against this struggling Leganes side.

With Lega already written off by so many, even before kick-off, Javier Aguirre's men will be looking to upset the odds by securing an unlikely victory against this foe come Friday evening.

Leganes vs Getafe Team News

Following a meager start to the campaign, Leganes seem to have finally gotten into their stride, judging by recent results and performances. The home side turned Santa Claus at the start of the campaign, gifting all three points to other teams within the cluster.

However, Leganes seem to have turned a corner in recent weeks and are on an imperious six-game unbeaten run at the moment. This impressive run of form has seen the Cucumber Growers rise from the bottom of the table into 19th place.

Last time out in the Copa del Rey, they were totally rampant, slotting four unanswered goals past sorry Murcia. Their last league game saw them overcome relegation-favorites Espanyol via a comfortable 2-0 victory.

Despite their recent upturn in form, Javier Aguirre's men are still flirting in the relegation zone with a measly 14 points to their name. Surely, Leganes have to keep their unbeaten run intact a little longer.

Getafe, on the other hand, have been hit by a sharp decline in form following a strong start to their La Liga campaign. Condemned to defeats in their last two league games, the pressure is beginning to mount on the shoulders of head coach Jose Bordalas.

For all their recent struggles, the visitors are still sixteen points ahead of their opposition and are just a point shy of fifth-place Real Sociedad. They have stumbled on just three occasions away from home this term. Also, they have managed a point, at the least, in six of the preceding nine away games.

For this fixture, rule out in-form Leganes at your own peril. They have shown some promise of late and are definitely no push-overs. Also, Les Pepineros have the home advantage under their belt. There are so many reasons for the club's supporters to be optimistic ahead of this game.

Leganes vs Getafe Predictions

On paper, Getafe have got to be considered overwhelming favorites for the win. However, it is not expected to be a walk in the park for Jose Bordalas' men, given the mini-resurgence that their opposition are enjoying at the moment.

There is a certain aura about this Leganes side that makes them so unpredictable. These cluster of players should have enough about themselves to give the visitors a run for their money this Friday. As such, the safest punt would have to be a double chance.
