C.D. Leganés Senior Femenino eye their return to winning ways this Sunday (Estadio Anexo Jesús Polo, 15:30 CET) against Juventud Sanse after two consecutive ties. No doubt their earlier away win this season will lend them confidence, but they face an opponent desperate to collect points after two straight losses.
Win. The only thing running through the heads of the Senior Femenino squad as they get ready to launch their second half of the season. Off the back of two consecutive ties, most recently against A.D. Colmenar Viejo (1-1), the need for a victory keeps on increasing.
The blanquiazules will aim to repeat the initial result from this encounter as the reverse fixture approaches; they comfortably delivered on their travels before (0-8) to the newly-promoted side. That said, the landscape has shifted since then, with Juventud Sanse dilligently climbing the rankings to 13th with 17 points. While more points are required before they can breathe easy, there is no doubt that the newcomers have recovered from their poor start.
Juventud Sanse, only one win on the road
Nonetheless, the prospect of an away game will not comfort Juventud Sanse who are suffering a dip in form of back-to-back defeats (the last against A.D. Alcorcón by 3-1), while our Senior squad have kept opponents at bay with two draws. Neither side is at their best, but the fixture extends them both the chance to break through.
Relegation pressure on Juventud Sanse would be certainly be aliviated if they can obtain a decent result. Yet, with only 7 points won from their last five games, alongside their undesirable away record of five defeats and only one win, they will not feel reassured. This is all the more significant as the face the pepineras, one of the division's strongest at home.
The highest scorers clash with the third-highest conceding club
If anything can be said about Senior Femenino, it is their staggering goal count. With 65 scored across 17 league games, an average of 3.82 every 90 minutes, they are clear as the league's top converters. Before them, a Juventud Sanse who have allowed 36 against them, the third-highest count in the division.
