Another exciting news in the 2019/2020 playoffs; Leganes will be going head to head against Getafe in what promises to be a delightful display of aggressive field play. This comes after Getafe's last two matches ended in goalless defeat. The playoff is scheduled for Friday evening at the Leganes' backyard. Keep in mind that their previous two games at home ended in an impressive victory, and they remain unbeaten after four games. Thus, Leganes will be looking to deal some jaw-breaking blows to the aggressive Getafe defense line during the Friday playoffs.

The Getafe side, on the other hand, has gone cold in front of goal compared to how they began the 2019/2020 playoffs. Therefore, it may be challenging to stand against the goal-hungry Leganes, who has a record of four goals in 2 previous games. Besides, the Leganes side recorded an impressive 2-0 win against Espanyol on the 22nd of December 2019, which is needless to say the best way to end the playoffs for the year. This is more than we can say for Getafe, who have scored under 2.5 goals in their last three outings.

Getafe has had a hard time winning a game in its last two outings. Even against a somewhat inconsistent Leganes, it is highly doubtful that they'll do much on the playing field. But before we pass a verdict on the Friday playoffs, let's look at the teams' stats.

Team Stats

On the 3rd of January 2020, Leganes fought a hard-fought fight against Valladolid. Although the game ended level in a 2-2 draw, Leganes could have sworn that it had the upper hand during the game. Now, back to the one place where they have total control over, we expect that they'll take charge of the playing field to show Getafe how things are done at the Leganes' home stadium.

On the other hand, Leganes has been anything but consistent since the playoffs began this season. Although they have delivered some impressive results this season, they are a long way from their desired position on the scoreboards. No doubt, they are better off than their current rivals on the scoreboards but don't change the fact that they lack consistency. And Getafe won't hesitate to use that knowledge to their advantage.

What to expect

It's the new year, and most teams are trying something new to keep the team spirit going. The same goes for Leganes. To ensure success in the Friday evening playoff against Getafe, Javier Aguirre will be making some difficult decisions for his pack. So, expect Leganes' half of the playing field to feature the most ferocious players in the team. With so much as stake, Getafe will probably do the same, so the top scorers of the team appear at the frontlines.

As Javier Aguirre will be looking to cause severe damage to Getafe's defense line, Leganes may unintentionally leave behind unguarded, allowing Getafe to score. Then again, Leganes has not missed an opportunity to score in 7 matches. So expect a very stern test from the aggressive Leganes' side.
