Trival Valderas host Leganés on 10 November 2026 at 22:00 in the Copa del Rey first round. Valderas, a fifth-tier Tercera Federación side, sit ninth in Group 7 with 14 points from nine matches. Leganés play in Spain's second tier and arrive in freefall: winless in seven straight games, six defeats in that run, and sitting 17th with 12 points from 13 Segunda División fixtures. The gulf in division and recent form favors the visitors, though Valderas have shown resilience at their level. Raúl Montero's side drew their last three matches 2-2 and have conceded 11 goals across the season. Leganés conceded 23 goals in the league, fourth-worst in Segunda División, but Álvaro Morata has scored three in two matches since returning from suspension and offers genuine attacking threat. Lalo Aguilar and Ignasi Miquel are doubts for Leganés; Miguel Atienza and Álvaro Tejero return to the squad.
Form and H2H
Valderas won three of their last ten matches, drew six, and lost one, averaging 1.50 goals for and 1.20 against. Leganés won one of their last ten away matches, drew two, and lost seven, averaging 0.80 goals for and 2.20 against. The teams have never met in an official match. Leganés are aiming to reach the Copa del Rey second round for the fourth consecutive season, but their current league crisis runs deep: six losses in seven outings and a defence that has hemorrhaged goals.
Best bet
Leganés to win. Despite their league struggles, the visitors possess considerably more quality and experience than a fifth-tier opponent. Morata's recent form and Leganés' attacking depth should prove decisive. Valderas will likely defend deep and look to counter, but breaking down a Segunda División side's structure remains a steep task. Leganés also benefit from playing at their familiar stadium.
