Matchday 4 of La Liga 2 2026/2027 brings together two Spanish sides with contrasting styles but similar early-season ambitions. Las Palmas sit 8th with 6 points, having scored 6 goals in three games but also conceded 6. Leganes arrive in 3rd place, unbeaten so far and with a tighter defensive record. The Canarians host at Gran Canaria, where their attacking output has been eye-catching, yet their fragile backline invites pressure. This fixture carries weight for both teams in an early-season standings battle.
Two players stand out heading into this match. Taisei Miyashiro has been Las Palmas’ most direct attacking threat, contributing 2 goals and 2 assists across his last 3 appearances, combining sharp movement with clinical finishing. For Leganes, Ismael Gharbi has been active in creating and pressing, logging 5 shots and 4 free kicks won over 3 games, making him a constant nuisance in midfield transitions.
Las Palmas’ hot stat from their recent matches: they have scored in every game this season and netted 6 goals in their last 3 Liga 2 fixtures, yet conceded 6 in the same span, making them both the most entertaining and the most exposed side in the early standings.

Las Palmas vs Leganes Prediction
Las Palmas have the bookmakers’ backing at around 50% win probability, and their home record and attacking numbers justify that confidence. They have won 2 of their last 3 La Liga 2 head-to-head meetings with Leganes, including a 2-0 at home last season. Leganes, though, are unbeaten in the current campaign and have conceded just one goal in three games, showing a level of defensive organization that Las Palmas’ leaky defense cannot yet match.
The key tension here is Las Palmas’ open, high-scoring style against Leganes’ compact 4-4-2 block. Las Palmas average more passes (305 per game vs 212 for Leganes in their last 5) and significantly better pass accuracy, suggesting they will dominate possession. Leganes counter with more interceptions (24 vs 20) and a higher foul count (36 vs 34), meaning they will disrupt Las Palmas’ rhythm deliberately. Las Palmas have committed fouls less frequently and carry only 3 yellow cards in their last 5, while Leganes’ 4 yellows reflect their pressing approach. The home side’s set-piece threat is real, given their 49 free kicks won, and Leganes will need discipline to avoid gifting dangerous positions.
We predict Las Palmas to win, but the match will not be clean. Both sides have scored in every competitive game this season, and Leganes’ attack, though modest, has found the net in 4 of their last 5 fixtures. A home win with both teams scoring is the most logical outcome.

Team Analysis
Las Palmas have been one of the more unpredictable sides in the early La Liga 2 season. Their last 30 days record shows 3 wins and 2 losses from 5 games, and their season-long win rate of 43% from 30 matches reflects a team capable of beating most opponents but prone to off-days. Their most recent league match, a 2-5 loss to Girona, exposed the defensive vulnerabilities that have been a consistent theme. Before that, they beat Ceuta 2-0 and Albacete 2-1, showing they can grind out wins against lower-ranked opposition. The 3-1 win over Cadiz also showed their attacking quality at home. Rubén de la Barrera’s 4-2-3-1 gives them creative license in the final third, but the same structure leaves gaps on the counter.
Leganes enter this match in strong form, unbeaten in their first three La Liga 2 games and sitting 3rd in the table. Their last 30 days record reads 4 wins, 1 loss, and 2 draws from 7 games, a 57% win rate that edges slightly ahead of Las Palmas’. Their most recent match was a 1-0 win over Eldense, following a 1-0 win over Real Oviedo and a 1-1 draw with Girona. Rubén Albés has his side playing a 4-4-2 that prioritizes defensive shape and controlled transitions. They are not a side that creates many chances, with only 21 shots across their last 5 matches, but their efficiency and defensive solidity (24 interceptions) have been enough to collect maximum points.
The last four meetings between these clubs have produced 7 goals for Las Palmas and 3 for Leganes, with Las Palmas winning 3 of those 4 encounters. The most recent, a 2-0 home win for Las Palmas in La Liga 2 2025/26, confirmed their home advantage in this fixture.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Las Palmas the Favourite
- Moneyline Las Palmas 1.91 | Leganes 3.87
- Draw 2.88
The market aligns with Las Palmas as clear favorites at around 1.91, which looks fair given their home record and head-to-head dominance. Leganes at 3.87 represents value only if you believe their defensive discipline can stifle Las Palmas completely, which their recent form suggests is possible but not likely in this environment. The draw at 2.88 is priced attractively given Leganes’ tendency to keep scores tight, but Las Palmas’ home attacking output makes a stalemate the least likely of the three outcomes. We favor the home win at current prices.
Possible Starting Lineups
Las Palmas Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: José Antonio Caro
- DF: Alex Suárez, Valentín Pezzolesi, Giovanni Bonfanti, Juanma Herzog
- MF: Kirian Rodríguez, Enzo Loiodice, Iñaki González Zambrano, Iván Jaime
- FW: Taisei Miyashiro, Manu Fuster
Rubén de la Barrera is expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 shape. José Antonio Caro starts in goal with 10 saves in his last 3 appearances. The back four picks itself, with Alex Suárez and Valentín Pezzolesi having played every minute. Kirian Rodríguez and Enzo Loiodice form the double pivot, providing defensive cover and ball circulation. Taisei Miyashiro is the player to watch up front, his combination of goals and assists making him Las Palmas’ most dangerous attacker. Manu Fuster offers work rate and a goal threat from deeper positions. Jesé Rodríguez could feature from the bench and inject pace if Leganes sit deep.
Leganes Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Luca Zidane
- DF: Lalo Aguilar, Ignasi Miquel, Marvelous Antolín Garzón, Álvaro Tejero
- MF: Zico Buurmeester, Miguel Atienza, Ismael Gharbi, Yassine Kechta
- FW: Naim Garcia, Patrick Soko
Rubén Albés should deploy his regular 4-4-2. Luca Zidane takes the gloves with 8 saves in 3 games. The defensive block is anchored by Ignasi Miquel and Marvelous Antolín Garzón, both of whom have played every minute and rank among the team’s most active interceptors. Zico Buurmeester leads the midfield press with 4 interceptions and 6 fouls, making him central to Leganes’ disruptive style. Ismael Gharbi is the creative outlet, and his ability to win free kicks and take shots on goal makes him the main attacking threat. Naim Garcia up front has a goal and an assist in his last 3 games, and his movement will test Las Palmas’ center-backs.

The Verdict
Las Palmas carry the home advantage, a superior head-to-head record, and the most potent attack in this matchup. Their 6 goals in 3 La Liga 2 games this season, combined with Taisei Miyashiro’s direct contribution to 4 of those, points to a home side that will create and convert chances. Leganes are disciplined and have been efficient, but their shot volume is low and they rely heavily on individual moments from Gharbi and Garcia to generate danger.
The defensive fragility on both sides, Las Palmas conceding 6 and Leganes conceding 1, suggests the game could open up in the second half. Leganes’ 4-4-2 will press high and look to disrupt Las Palmas’ build-up, but the Canarians’ pass accuracy advantage (1332 out of 1529 passes completed in their last 5) means they have the tools to play through that pressure.
- Match Result: Las Palmas Win
- Both Teams to Score: Yes
- Total Goals: Over 2.5
- Best Value Bet: Las Palmas to Score in Both Halves
