## Leganés vs. Celta: A Look at the Historical Matchup ### Head-to-Head Stats Over the past five seasons, Leganés and Celta have faced off eight times in La Liga, with Celta holding a slight edge in the head-to-head record. The Galician side has won four matches, while Leganés has won twice, with the remaining two fixtures ending in draws. In terms of goals scored, Celta has also been more prolific, netting 11 times compared to Leganés' eight. However, Leganés has kept three clean sheets in their last four meetings, suggesting that they have improved defensively in recent years. ### Recent Form Both teams have endured contrasting fortunes in their recent outings. Leganés has struggled for consistency this season, winning just twice in their last five matches. They were held to a goalless draw by relegation-threatened Elche in their previous fixture. Celta, on the other hand, has been in impressive form. They have won four of their last five games, including a thrilling 3-2 victory over Real Madrid. Their resurgence has seen them climb to 10th in the La Liga standings, just four points behind seventh-placed Villarreal. ### Key Players Leganés will be relying on the goals of their veteran striker Miguel Ángel Guerrero, who has scored six times in the league this season. Juan Muñoz has also been in good form, providing three assists in his last five appearances. Celta's main threat will come from the pace and skill of their wingers, Iago Aspas and Javi Galán. Aspas, a Spanish international, is the team's top scorer with seven goals, while Galán has contributed with four assists. ### Prediction Based on their recent form and head-to-head record, Celta are slight favorites to win the match. Leganés will need to be at their best to get a result against a team in much better form. A draw is also a possibility, given that their last two meetings have ended in stalemates.
