Full Analysis

Estadio Municipal de Butarque plays host to Leganes versus Girona in La Liga (matchday 33). Kick-off: Thursday 24 April 2025 at 19:00 UK time.

Form & Momentum

Leganes have collected 0.60 PPG across their last 10 games: 1W 3D 6L. Last five: L L D L D. They are averaging 1.00 goals per game and conceding 1.80 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%).

Leganes's home record over their last 10 home games: 2W 2D 6L (0.80 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.00 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game.

Girona (all games): 0W 3D 7L across their last 10 — 0.30 points per game. Last five: D L L L L. Their scoring rate of 0.80 per game is modest, conceding 2.10 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 2.10 per game is a high rate — their defence has been exposed regularly. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

Girona's away record over their last 10 away games: 2W 2D 6L (0.80 PPG). Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 0.80 exceeds their overall 0.30 — they actually perform better on the road than their aggregate form implies.

A near-identical PPG reading — 0.60 for Leganes, 0.30 for Girona — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.

H2H Analysis

Neither side has dominated the 1 H2H match in our data: 0 wins for Leganes, 1 for Girona and 0 draws — leaving the H2H largely neutral. With only 1 H2H match to go on, treat this as a light input.

Goals have been a feature of this fixture — the 1 H2H match in our data averaged 7.0 per game, which gives Over 2.5 a solid head-to-head foundation. The most recent of those, on 2 Nov 2024, ended Leganes 3–4 Girona — a Girona win.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 7.0 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Trading Data

Leganes goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 32 games, 16 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 38% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; of the 6 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 83%; BTTS occurs in 31% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 44% of games (home games); they fail to score in 41% of games.

Girona goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 32 games, 16 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 75% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 86% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 57% of those occasions; of the 8 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 25%; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 44% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Leganes 44% versus Girona 56%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Leganes 38% | Girona 59%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Leganes 1.35 xG and Girona 1.18 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Leganes attack 0.842 / defence 1.164 | Girona attack 0.829 / defence 1.208. League average goals — home 1.323 / away 1.225. Girona's defence rating of 1.208 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Leganes's projected output up. Data: built from Leganes's last 32 games and Girona's last 70.

Result probabilities: Leganes 41% | Draw 27% | Girona 33%. Fair-value odds: Leganes 2.47 | Draw 3.74 | Girona 3.06. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 27% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 46% | BTTS Yes probability 51% | Total xG 2.53. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 46%/54% — the total xG of 2.53 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 51% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Leganes at 41% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Leganes if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 33% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 2.53 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 54% probability — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 51% on Yes. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Leganes 40% (last 10 home games) | Girona 60% (last 10 away games).
