Sevilla will be looking to end their four-game wait for a victory in La Liga when they take on relegation-threatened Leganes at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque on Tuesday.
Julen Lopetegui’s side have drawn their last four matches to leave themselves with work to do in the race for a top-four finish, while Leganes have also struggled for victories and are seemingly destined for the drop.

Sevilla made a winning return to La Liga action earlier this month with a 2-0 triumph over local rivals Real Betis, but since then they have only picked up four points from a possible 12.As well as playing out a respectable goalless draw with Barcelona, Los Nervionenses have dropped points against Levante, Villarreal and Real Sociedad.

Friday’s draw with Sociedad was arguably a point gained in many ways, though, as Lucas Ocampos scored from the penalty spot seven minutes from time to cancel out Kiko Olivas’s first-half goal.The succession of stalemates leaves Sevilla – unbeaten in 11 matches in all competitions – fourth in the table and now just five points ahead of Getafe, who play their game in hand against Sociedad on Monday.

Leganés have tasted victory at home to Sevilla just twice in all competitions (D2, L3) and go into this contest with one of the poorest win-draw rates (20%; W0, D1, L4) in La Liga (LL) as a home outsider.
The hosts have now failed to score before half-time in six straight LL fixtures and as a result are unlikely to land an early punch, whilst some poor second halves have seen Leganés fail to win at home when level at the break (D4, L3) this league campaign.
