The visitors are winless in their last two outings, failing to score in these games. They failed to score for the fourth time this season in their 3-0 away loss to Real Sociedad last week.

Leganes vs Valencia Prediction
Los pepineros are unbeaten in their last two league games, scoring one goal apiece after failing to score in their previous four games. They are unbeaten in their last four meetings against the visitors, scoring one goal in each game.
Yvan Neyou and Seydouba Cissé are the two doubts for this match for Borja Jimenez due to muscle injuries. Cissé has not been called up by Guinea for international duty due to this injury.
Los Ches have failed to score in their last two games and will look to return to goalscoring ways. They are winless in their last seven away games in La Liga, suffering six losses, which is a cause for concern.
Hugo Duro is back from a muscle injury while Rafa Mir, Mouctar Diakhaby, Jaume Doménech, and Jose Gayà remain sidelined.
Considering the current form of the two teams and recent history, a draw is likely to ensue.
