Leganés vs Real Madrid Preview and Team News

Leganés Team News

Leganés finished their five-match unbeaten streak in the last round of La Liga, losing 0-1 to Rayo Vallecano at home. They played with a man down throughout the second half. The massive effort could have saved the game, but Miguel de la Fuente missed a penalty in the stoppage time.

This leaves Leganés in 16th position with 23 points in 22 matches. They’re one of the lowest-scoring sides in the championship and struggle to create moments in the attack.

However, after beating Almeria at Copa del Rey in a successful five-goal thriller (2-3), they’ll now face Real Madrid. While the opponents are formidable, they’ll come to the pitch with ultimate motivation.

Leganés have no significant injury worries ahead of the fixture. Only Enric Franquesa is sidelined because of an injury.

Leganés predicted lineup vs Real Madrid (4-4-2): Dmitrovic; Nastasic, Rosier, Altamira, Cruz; Raba, Cisse, Neyou, Rodriguez; Munir, Garcia.

Real Madrid Team News

Real Madrid suffered a surprising defeat against Espanyol in the last round (0-1). Despite creating chances, the hosts scored a late winner and eventually acquitted the visitors of their vital points.

Regardless of the loss, Real Madrid are still first in the standings, a point ahead of second-placed Atletico. In the Champions League, they have a difficult draw, facing Man City in the playoffs. 

While Kylian Mbappé gradually finds his form, there are still questions about Real Madrid’s overall performance. The 4-2-3-1 system seems to be inoperable, and both Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham are struggling.

Antonio Rudiger was substituted against Espanyol and is likely to miss the game. Eduardo Camavinga is also out, while Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal are long-term absentees.

Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Leganés (4-3-3): Lunin; Asensio, Alaba, Mendy, Vazquez; Valverde, Tchouameni, Vinicius; Diaz, Güler, Mbappé.

Leganés vs Real Madrid Prediction

• Pick: Real Madrid to Win
• Odds: 1.43 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Leganés 1-3 Real Madrid

Real Madrid are close to reaching the semifinals of Copa del Rey. After suffering an unexpected defeat to Espanyol, they need to bounce back immediately and win the match convincingly.

The hosts will play at Butarque and give their best. However, we don’t anticipate them putting up serious resistance. The hosts have notable problems in their assault and experience frailties in the defence.

Real are not in the best form right now, but we see them clinching a victory against dismal Leganés. Even with bench players, they have an advantage, and our first pick in the match would be Madrid to win. 

Leganés vs Real Madrid Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
• Odds: 1.57 (22Bet)

Fixtures featuring these two sides always turn out to be entertaining. In eight out of their previous ten encounters, three or more goals were scored. 

Carlo Ancelotti’s team has problems in defence, and it’s visible in every game. The hosts, on the other hand, don’t have quality centre-backs and allow mistakes in the penalty area.

Even though it is a quarter-final match and Leganés are expected to sit back in the defence, they will focus on counterattacks and could go for a goal. Our second pick for this fixture would be over 2.5 goals.
