Sevilla FC vs Leganes Best odds and tips

Sevilla FC and Leganes will be playing with a great deal of tension in their respective camps when they meet at the Sánchez-Pizjuán on Sunday as both clubs are in the midst of a relegation battle. Sevilla are seven points above the drop zone in 15th spot and Leganes are inside the relegation zone in 19th, so there is a lot at stake in this fixture for both sides. Sevilla boss Joaquin Caparros was appointed midway through April 2025 to steady the ship and he has done just that, but there is still much work to do if Los Nervionenses are to avoid the drop. Caparros has brought some structure back to the team and energy to the midfield in the short time he has had in charge, but his side have failed to win any of their last five La Liga games (D1, L4). Sevilla have only won five of their 16 home La Liga games this season (D5, L6) and are conceding more goals than they are scoring, averaging 0.88 scored and 1.19 conceded at the Sánchez-Pizjuán.

Leganes are a low-scoring team who like to keep it tight and catch teams on the counter-attack. Borja Jimenez has done a fine job since taking over as head coach in June 2023, turning the team into a compact, disciplined 4-4-2 or 5-4-1 unit that can be tough to break down. Leganes have failed to win any of their last five La Liga games (D3, L2) and have only won one of their 16 away games in the 2024/2025 campaign (D8, L7). They average 0.81 goals per game away from home in La Liga, scoring 13 times in 16 away trips.

The bookies have Sevilla as odds-on favourites at 1.80, with Leganes 4.50 and the draw 3.40. Those odds are not attractive to us, given the relegation implications of the game, so we’re going to sit out the match result markets and take a chance on under 2.5 goals. Sevilla are a possession-based team who like to play with the ball on the ground and move it quickly through their 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system, but Leganes will sit back and make it difficult for them to get into a rhythm. The draw could be the best bet in the match result market as both sides are in poor form and Sevilla have drawn their last La Liga game against Alaves (1-1) while Leganes have drawn their last two against Mallorca (0-0) and Girona (1-1). Leganes’ away record of 1 win, 8 draws and 7 losses reflects their struggles on the road, and Jimenez’s men are a team that are always there at the end of games, even if they are not always the most positive side. Sevilla’s Dodi Lukebakio is their main goal threat with 11 goals in 33 La Liga appearances, but Leganes’ Daniel Raba has been in good form with 7 goals in 24 La Liga appearances, including 2 in his last 5.
