Date/Time: Tuesday 30^th October 2018 (Kick-off 7:30 PM)

On Tuesday night, Leganes host Rayo Vallecano in the Copa del Rey last 32 first leg, as both sides look to put their La Liga struggles to one side for a night.

Leganes are currently third from bottom in the Spanish top-flight, having won just one of their games this season in all competitions. Their recent record in the Copa del Rey is also a poor one, as the home side has won just one of their last six games in the competition.

To make matters worse, Leganes have also won just one of their last six home games in the Copa del Rey too.

Rayo Vallecano have made an even worse start to their season than the home side, and have taken two fewer points in the Spanish top-flight.
