Match Preview: Valencia CF vs CD Leganés

History:

Valencia CF will welcome CD Leganés on Matchday 5 of LaLiga Santander at 4 pm at Mestalla. Celades’ side come off the back of a superb 0-1 win over Chelsea FC at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night.
 

Valencia CF will try to collect back-to-back domestic home wins and Celades’ debut win as a Valencia CF head coach against CD Leganés who went down to a 0-3 loss to Villarreal CF at Butarque and remain pointless this season.

Statistics favour Valencia CF who have not lost to the cucumber-growers at Mestalla in their three meetings at Mestalla since CD Leganés’ promotion to the Primera División with two wins and one draw for Celades’ side.
