2107
It’s all to play for on the final day of the 2023-24 Segunda Division season, with both promotion and relegation places to be determined.
Sitting three points inside the automatic promotion, Leganes will secure their La Liga return if they avoid defeat against Elche at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque on Sunday.
Ahead of the final round of fixtures, ninth-placed Elche find themselves five points outside the play-off places and 12 points behind second-placed Leganes.
Let’s start looking at the stats and trends related to Leganes, who have lost just eight of their 41 league games this season, suffering one defeat more than Espanyol.
It is also worth noting that Leganes boast the best defensive record in the Segunda Division, having conceded a measly 27 goals this term.
Leganes have lost just one of their last 12 league encounters, although they have managed to draw six of their previous nine outings.
Having suffered a solitary defeat in their last 19 home league games, Leganes will be confident of finishing the campaign on a high note.
On the flip side, Elche’s form has dipped at the wrong time, as they looked destined to push for promotion before dropping off towards the end of the season.
Between December and March, Elche suffered just one defeat in 11 league games, but they have only managed to pick up one victory since then.
Worse still, Elche have failed to win any of their last five matches, meaning they have taken six points from a possible 30 since their mid-season hot streak.
On top of that, Elche have taken two points from a possible 15 on the road since their last away victory, conceding nine goals during that period.
Head-to-head: Elche can take confidence from the fact that they won the reverse fixture 1-0 back in September, extending their unbeaten streak against Leganes to three games.
It is also worth pointing out that Elche have lost just one of their previous nine meetings with Leganes, although five of those clashes ended in a draw.

For Elche, Tete Morente has bagged eight goals and two assists in the league, with Genk loanee Nicolas Gastro notching five goals and five assists.
When you couple Leganes’ impressive home record with Elche’s poor away form, all the signs point towards a comfortable win for the hosts.
Forebet’s AI algorithm predicts that Leganes will score over 1.5 goals and keep a clean sheet on their way to defeating Elche, securing promotion in the process.
