Leganes has only played three games in the First Division and already knows all results: he won the Celta in Balaidos, tied at home to Atletico Madrid and lost in Gijon. The locals made their country a fortress last year and have not conceded in the one they have played at home in this league. The Lega has left a clean sheet in seven of their last ten games in Butarque, six second and one in first.
The set of Luis Enrique can not afford another slip. He has already lost four league games in 2016, as many as in 2015 to complete.

Aritz Aduriz, the 'Phoenix' which reemerged after leaving Valencia
Abandonment Valencia by the back door 30 years, and nothing foreshadowed what would happen next with Aritz Aduriz . The guipuzcoano started scoring goals like never before had done, surprising friends and strangers, becoming the flagship of the Athletic Club of Bilbao to date.
In Valencia, Aduriz alternated between light and shadow, in a very good season, where he got to 14 goals in all official competitions. In that first season, Aduriz alternated with Roberto Soldado the center forward position and even got to play together on more than one occasion, although Unai Emery was reluctant to outline two points. Soldier paid more, and he got 11 goals more than the Basque, which repecurtiría the following season.
Although still have minutes the next season, it cost quite see Aduriz goal. He finished with 9 goals in all competitions, while Roberto Soldado was uncovered as one of the best scorers in the league , finishing with 27 points and with 2,000 minutes played that now Athletic striker. That season was the one that took Aduriz and Valencia to go their separate ways. Basque returned home ready to rewrite history.
Highly intelligent and powerful passing game, Aduriz felt like a fish in water, in a season with Marcelo Bielsa , and in the future with Ernesto Valverde . It was fate that did not want cacereño Aduriz and technical coincide in Valencia during 2012/2013. Who knows then whether the film Aduriz in Valencia had had another script.
Anyway, Aduriz was improving its numbers year after year in the Athletic. 18 goals in the first two seasons, 26 in the third and a spectacular figure of 36 goals last season, earning him the call for Euro 2016 in France by popular acclaim, as recognized Vicentel del Bosque in an interview .
In Bilbao, Aduriz has felt important, with gallons and weight and off the field. Few thought that the striker could make that turn in his career when he left Valencia with thirty fulfilled. A Case of Benjamin Button in football without any doubt. Now with 35 years, the mission of Aduriz to beat records last season is almost a pipe dream. The '20' Athletic has failed to score this season, and the first goal statistics should be close. Paradoxically, the next opponent is the one who let him go in search of a second youth; a Valencia reaches San Mames with many problems and questions. The script seems almost written.
Atletico, a killing machine against Sporting Gijon at home
These are the curiosities that brings Opta will face encounter with Atletico Sporting .

The Spaniard box lost in their last ten games in this stadium, unable to score any goal in the last three. So, Duje Cop and company try to turn around this negative dynamic results. Abelardo has the question of Moi Gómez by an overload in the quadriceps. Sportinguista team coach could make some rotations considering three games coming up in just a week. What is assumed is that Cop continue the offensive team reference. And the Croatian attacker is still one of the great sensations of this first section of the course and, with two goals and an assist, has participated in three of the four goals scored by the gijoneses so far.
Colchonero in the box, Simeone will be without Moya, Alessio Cerci and Tiago Mendes, the three injury. Savic is likely to enter Gimenez in the center of defense and Torres could make up to Gameiro. The moment that does not fall in rotations is Griezmann.
