The Galicians are expected to come out on top in the upcoming match. The team is in good form, unbeaten in four consecutive league games. Claudio Giraldez's side also boasts the fifth-best away record in La Liga. Additionally, Celta has kept clean sheets in 3 of their last 5 home league matches, conceding only against Athletic Bilbao and Real Betis, teams much stronger than Leganes.
The team from the outskirts of Madrid scores few goals and has won only one of their 13 away matches in this La Liga season.

In the last three head-to-head encounters at Celta's ground, the hosts have won twice and drawn once, without conceding a goal.
