Sun May 04 13:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Sevilla FC Battles Leganés in Crucial La Liga Clash

**Seville, Spain** – Sevilla FC faces a vital La Liga encounter against CD Leganés this afternoon at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium. Kick-off is scheduled for 4:15 PM local time. The match holds significant implications for both teams, with relegation a key concern.

Following UD Las Palmas’ home defeat to Valencia, the relegation battle intensifies. A Sevilla victory would extend their cushion to eight points above the drop zone with only 12 points remaining in the season. A draw would increase the gap to six points, while a loss would see Leganés leapfrog them, leaving Sevilla just four points clear of the relegation places.

For Leganés, a win would bring them within two points of safety, a draw four points, and a loss would leave their position unchanged. Despite their precarious situation, Leganés arrives in Seville on a two-game unbeaten run, including a hard-fought draw against Girona while playing over 70 minutes with ten men.

Recent history between the two sides is mixed. Sevilla won the last meeting at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, but Leganés holds a memorable 0-3 victory from six years ago, featuring goals from players who later joined Sevilla.

Sevilla will be without injured players Nianzou, Lokonga, Vargas, and Akor Adams, but Gudelj returns from suspension. Leganés will be missing Altimira and Cissé through suspension, but Rosier and Dani Raba are expected to feature.

Referee Alejandro Hernández Hernández, a familiar face at the Sánchez-Pizjuán, will officiate the match, with Javier Iglesias Villanueva overseeing VAR. The match promises a thrilling encounter with significant consequences for both teams in the fight for La Liga survival.
