Leganés II vs Real Aranjuez - Tercera División RFEF - Group 7

The Tercera División RFEF - Group 7 returns to the home ground on September 6, 2026, where Leganés II and Real Aranjuez will lock horns in a contest that could shape their respective campaigns. Just as was the case in the previous meeting between the teams in April of last year, when Emery's side gave them such a scare in the Champions League tie at Villa Park, PSG were hanging on at the end.

Both camps will view the Tercera División RFEF - Group 7 meeting at the home ground as an opportunity to put a marker down, regardless of where they currently stand. Confidence is coursing through the home camp, with W in their last five and a season win rate of 66.67% underscoring their momentum. Real Aranjuez are in the midst of a slump, DL over their last five and a paltry win rate of 0% summing up their struggles. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — Leganés II average 2.67 per game to Real Aranjuez's 1, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. Those who followed Morocco's recent World Cup campaign will recognise the name Ayyoub Bouaddi.

How the two sides approach the contest strategically will be key. Leganés II will want to control proceedings in front of their own supporters, while Real Aranjuez will back themselves to cause problems on the break. The 29-year-old ranked 4th in strokes gained approach in 2026, and he has finished outside the top four in that specific category only once in the seven full seasons he has played on the PGA Tour.

Game-changers are scattered across both line-ups, and the contest may well be decided by which side's match-winners deliver on the day. How each side deals with the other's danger men — and who takes their chances when they come — will be central to the outcome. So much so that it has motivated them to move for Spain's prize midfielder Rodri after he was named player of the tournament.

Predictions are tricky when the sides are this evenly matched, and small margins — a moment of quality, a slice of luck — could decide it either way. A share of the spoils looks the most probable outcome, with neither side holding a decisive edge — a 3-3 draw feels like a fitting result. With positions in the Tercera División RFEF - Group 7 table to defend and momentum to chase, neither side can afford to leave anything in the tank.
