Leganes vs Zaragoza prediction 02.04.2026 | La Liga 2

After relegation from La Liga last season, Leganes are in a similar situation in the second tier of Spanish football, too. With 10 league rounds left, Igor Oca's team is five points ahead of the drop zone and probably needs a few more victories to secure its place in the competition. However, Leganes' form is far from encouraging, as they have won only once in their last seven matches. In the previous game, they played 0-0 on the road against Malaga. The hosts finished with xG of 2.33, while the guests had only 0.89, so Oca's team could feel fortunate to have picked up a valuable point.

Leganes' head coach, Igor Oca, was very satisfied with one point in the previous round. He commented, "We came here fully intending to win, but knowing that the opponent has only lost one match here so far this season. We had our chances, but so did they. We had less possession than in other matches, but that was the plan - except for the first twenty minutes, when we gave up a few counterattacks. It's only fair to acknowledge the work the players have done; we keep fighting and consider the point a good result".

After his seventh yellow card this season, Leganes' Gonzalo Melero will serve a suspension in the game against Zaragoza. Also, the hosts will be without injured Ruben Pena, Ruben Pulido, and Jorge Saenz.

Throughout history, Zaragoza have been mostly part of the Spanish top flight. In recent years, they established themselves in La Liga 2, but now, the team from Aragon are in danger of playing in the third level of football for the first time since 1949. Zaragoza are in the drop zone, but with three points behind safety, they still have a chance to avoid relegation. Zaragoza's form is encouraging, as they have won three of the last four matches. In the previous game, David Navarro's team won 2-0 at home against Racing Santander.

Zaragoza's head coach, David Navarro, was satisfied with a victory in the previous league round, but he was also clear that there is a long road ahead of his team. He said, "We don't need to look at other results or anything like that. We just need to focus on the points we need to get and approach every game like it's a final. We haven't achieved anything yet."

Martin Aguirregabiria and Pablo Insua are suspended for Thursday, while Sinan Bakis, Luis Carbonell, Pau de la Fuente, Valery, Raul Guti, and Tachi are unavailable due to injuries. Also, Paul Akouokou is questionable for the upcoming league round.
