Vallecano recorded a comprehensive win in the first leg, and are on pole position to secure a ticket to the final. The desperate Leganes have no option but to go after a huge victory, and this will most probably backfire against them.
At home, Vallecano registered a 3-0 win, and avoided conceding a pivotal away goal all through the ninety minutes. Now, Leganes will have to score at least thrice in regular time to have a shot at progressing - and importantly, they have to avoid conceding a goal at all.
Should they let in one goal, Leganes will then have to find the back of the net at least five times - which would be close to impossible.
By the looks of things, expect Rayo Vallecano to make it to the playoff final.
