The newly promoted Leganes will be satisfied to their to the new Spanish La Liga season. After 7 matchdays they occupy 11th position in the league table and have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 3 during the period. Interestingly, all their 3 wins have come away from home, while they are still looking for their first La Liga win at home.
Sevilla might be third in the La Liga standings, but their overall performances in the new season are way below their usual quality. The team is still settling in with the philosophy of new manager Jorge Sampaoli. But the biggest worry for his to be put their poor away record back on track. Sevilla were win-less while playing away from home last season. And this is continuing in the current season after 3 away trips in the 2016/17 season.

Leganes vs Sevilla: Prediction
The overall away form of Sevilla is the key factor to our analysis for this match, while keeping an eye on Leganes’ overall performance in the league this season. With Leganes being a newly promoted side, their mini success at the start of the season could give them a lot of confidence. They have already held a strong Atletico Madrid to a goal-less draw at the start of the season.
While Sevilla’s win-less run away from home has now stretched to 22 La Liga games. Their confidence will be a problem when coming up against a relatively unknown entity like Leganes. Also, they have a lot of injury concerns with at least five players missing through injuries and suspension. We believe the hosts are in a good position to earn at least a draw from this game.
