Leganes vs. Osasuna Prediction, Match Preview and Betting Tips, 7 April 2025 - bettingexpert

The anticipation is in the air as Leganes host Osasuna at Estadio Butarque in the 30th round of LaLiga. Both teams find themselves in precarious positions following recent form, making this match crucial in their respective campaigns. Leganes, sitting 18th with 27 points, are battling to escape the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Osasuna, in 14th place with 34 points, are aiming to secure a solid mid-table finish.

Recent performances haven’t been kind to either side, with Leganes showing a LLLWL form and Osasuna equally struggling with DLLDL. Leganes’ last encounter saw them narrowly defeated 3-2 by Real Madrid, showcasing their fighting spirit against top-tier opposition. Osasuna, on the other hand, are coming off a hard-fought but goalless draw against Athletic Club.

Key players like Leganes’ top scorer Daniel Raba and Osasuna’s Ante Budimir will be pivotal. Additionally, Leganes will miss Enric Franquesa and Borna Barisic due to long-term injuries, while Osasuna might see Bryan Zaragoza and Unai Garcia out of action.

Given both teams’ struggles, a draw seems a plausible outcome. With history showing a closely contested 1-1 draw in their last meeting, expect another nail-biting encounter with limited goals. So, the recommended bet is a draw, as both teams have lacked a cutting edge in recent fixtures.

Don’t miss this battle at Estadio Butarque – every point counts as the season nears its climax!

Leganes Team Analysis

Leganes Recent Performance

Leganes have been struggling for form lately, managing just one win in their last five LaLiga matches. Despite scoring an average of 1.20 goals per game, defensive frailties have been their undoing, conceding 1.5 goals on average. They did manage a clean sheet in their lone victory against Getafe.

Home team	Away team	Date	Competition	Result
Real Madrid	Leganes	2025-03-29	LaLiga	3-2 (Loss)
Leganes	Real Betis	2025-03-16	LaLiga	2-3 (Loss)
Celta Vigo	Leganes	2025-03-08	LaLiga	2-1 (Loss)
Leganes	Getafe	2025-03-02	LaLiga	1-0 (Win)
Real Sociedad	Leganes	2025-02-23	LaLiga	3-0 (Loss)

With a crucial clash against Barcelona next, Leganes must address their recent lapses if they hope to pull off an upset. Consistent goal-scoring from their top scorer Daniel Raba, who has netted 6 times this season, will be key. The team also averages 2.2 yellow cards per game, highlighting their aggressive play.

Leganes Key Players

For Leganes, the standout player this season has undoubtedly been Daniel Raba, who leads the team in scoring with 6 goals. His ability to find the net will be crucial if Leganes hopes to climb out of the relegation zone.
Expected lineup for Leganes:

• Goalkeeper: Marko Dmitrovic
• Defenders: Valentin Rosier, Sergio González, Matija Nastasic, Javi Hernández
• Midfielders: Yvan Neyou, Renato Tapia, Juan Cruz, Seydouba Cissé, Daniel Raba
• Forward: Diego Garcia

Daniel Raba will likely face tough competition from Osasuna’s central defenders Flavien Boyomo and Alejandro Catena. Another key player to watch is goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic, who will need to be in top form to keep Osasuna’s Ante Budimir, their top scorer with 15 goals, at bay.

Leganes Suspensions & Injuries

Leganes are dealing with some notable injuries which could impact their performance against Osasuna. Here’s a detailed look at the affected players:
Injuries:

Player	Injury	Expected return
Enric Franquesa	Cruciate ligament injury	Out for season
Borna Barisic	Cruciate ligament injury	Out for season

Suspensions:

Player	Suspension	Expected return
Oscar Rodríguez Arnaiz	Yellow cards	1 match

These absences leave Leganes with a thinner squad for the match. The loss of Enric Franquesa and Borna Barisic for the season is significant, and the suspension of Oscar Rodríguez further complicates team selection.

The remaining squad members will need to step up to fill the void, and Borja Jiménez will have to reshuffle his lineup, particularly in the midfield where Oscar Rodríguez’s creativity will be missed.

Leganes Tactics and Formation

Leganes Tactical Breakdown:

• Formation: Expected 4-2-3-1
• Key Forward: Daniel Raba
• Midfield Support: Renato Tapia and Yvan Neyou as defensive midfielders, with Seydouba Cissé as the attacking midfielder
• Defensive Line: Valentin Rosier, Sergio González, Matija Nastasic, and Javi Hernández
• Goalkeeper: Marko Dmitrovic

Borja Jiménez will likely set up his team in a 4-2-3-1 formation to balance defensive solidity and attacking potential. Daniel Raba, as their top scorer, will be the focal point in attack, supported by Cissé in the playmaker role. The defensive midfield duo, Tapia and Neyou, will aim to shield the back four and disrupt Osasuna’s build-up play, while the defense looks to improve their record, having kept just one clean sheet in the last five games.

Osasuna Team Analysis

Osasuna Recent Performance

Osasuna’s form hasn’t been stellar in recent matches, with their last five results reading DLLDL. They have only managed to secure two points out of a possible fifteen. This streak certainly indicates challenges in both defense and attack.

Home team	Away team	Date	Competition	Result
Athletic Club	Osasuna	2025-03-30	LaLiga	0-0 (Draw)
Barcelona	Osasuna	2025-03-27	LaLiga	3-0 (Loss)
Osasuna	Getafe	2025-03-16	LaLiga	1-2 (Loss)
Osasuna	Valencia	2025-03-02	LaLiga	3-3 (Draw)
Celta Vigo	Osasuna	2025-02-21	LaLiga	1-0 (Loss)

In these five matches, Osasuna scored an average of 0.80 goals per game and managed just one clean sheet. This underwhelming offensive performance, alongside conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game over the season, reflects a team in need of better defensive coordination and finishing accuracy upfront.

Osasuna Key Players

Osasuna’s standout performer this season has been Ante Budimir, leading the team with 15 goals. His ability to find the net will be pivotal against Leganes, especially given Osasuna’s recent lack of goals.
Other key players include Aimar Oroz in midfield, who has shown creativity and control, and Lucas Torró, a solid presence in the center of the pitch who will be crucial in breaking up Leganes’ attacks.
Potential key individual battles to watch out for include Budimir versus Sergio González, and Oroz battling against Renato Tapia in midfield.

Expected lineup for Osasuna:

• Goalkeeper: Aitor Fernandez
• Defenders: Jesus Areso, Flavien Boyomo, Alejandro Catena, Jorge Herrando, Abel Bretones
• Midfielders: Aimar Oroz, Jon Moncayola, Lucas Torró, Rubén García
• Attacker: Ante Budimir

Osasuna Suspensions & Injuries

Osasuna come into this match with a few injury concerns and no suspensions to report.

Player	Injury	Expected return
Bryan Zaragoza	Hamstring Injury	Doubtful
Iker Muñoz	Broken toe	Late May 2025
Unai Garcia	Physical discomfort	About 1-2 weeks

Bryan Zaragoza’s doubtfulness due to a hamstring injury could impact Osasuna’s attacking options, reducing their pace and width on the flanks.
The absence of Iker Muñoz and Unai Garcia might also weaken Osasuna’s defensive setup, making it crucial for replacement players to step up against Leganés.
These injuries could potentially affect team cohesion and dynamics, especially in crucial moments of the game.

Osasuna Tactics and Formation

Osasuna’s Tactical Breakdown:

• Formation: Expected to line up in a 5-3-2.
• Key Forward: Ante Budimir, leading the attack with 15 goals this season.
• Midfield Trio: Aimar Oroz, Jon Moncayola, Lucas Torró.
• Defensive Setup: A back five featuring Jesus Areso and Abel Bretones as wing-backs.
• Goalkeeper Change: Sergio Herrera stepping in, given Aitor Fernandez’s recent performances.

Osasuna will likely focus on a compact defense to stifle Leganes’ attacks and use the wing-backs for swift counter-attacks. Maintaining their shape and transitioning quickly will be crucial for turning defense into attack effectively.
