Real Madrid vs Leganés Preview and Team News

Real Madrid Team News

Real Madrid sit 2nd in La Liga, even on points with Barcelona (60). They were linked with Trent Alexander-Arnold yesterday, with Fabrizio Romano’s ‘here we go’ confirmation- he will not renew with Liverpool and will leave for Real Madrid. 

The club are also expected to look for a new left-back, as neither Ferland Mendy nor Fran García have convinced Carlo Ancelotti as starters. The side hoped to sign Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies, but the Canadian recently extended his contract and has torn his ACL – his season is over as he will be out for 6 months..

Real Madrid eliminated Atlético de Madrid from the Champions League after an intense penalty shoot-out. Ancelotti’s team are scheduled to face Arsenal in early April. Shortly before that, Los Blancos will face Real Sociedad in the Copa Del Rey semifinals, having won 1-0 in the first leg. 

Éder Militao suffered another injury, further damaging both of his knees and sparking concerns over his match fitness. Fans are comparing his situation to Barcelona’s Samuel Umtiti.

Dani Carvajal, Éder Militao, Dani Ceballos, Ferland Mendy, Fran García, and Jesús Vallejo are sidelined with injuries.

Real Madrid Predicted line-up vs Leganés

Real Madrid predicted line-up vs Leganés (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Camavinga, Rüdiger, Asencio, Vázquez; Tchouaméni, Valverde; Rodrygo, Bellingham, Diaz; Mbappé.

Leganés Team News

Leganés are back in the relegation zone after a 3-2 defeat to Real Betis, despite leading 2-0 by half-time. A brace from Dani Raba, who scored five goals this season, seemed to ensure his team would not return without any points. However, Los Verdiblancos equalized (2-2) with 20 minutes left on the clock. 

A winner from Hernández with less than 10 minutes to go resulted in a defeat for Leganés, a week after bowing down to Celta Vigo (2-1).

The visitors have only won one match in their previous nine, a crucial 1-0 victory over direct rival Getafe. With 27 points, they’re on the same record as Deportivo Alavés. A draw would suffice to get out of relegation.

Borna Barišić, Enric Franquesa, and Yvan Neyou Noupa are out due to injuries.

Real Madrid Predicted line-up vs Leganés 

Leganés Predicted line-up vs Real Madrid(5-4-1): Dmitrović; J. Hernández, Nastasić, S. González, Rosier, Tapia; Brašanac, Cisse, O. Rodriguez, Cruz; Raba.

Real Madrid vs Leganés Prediction

• Prediction: Real Madrid to win
• Odds: 1.11 (22Bet)
• Score Prediction: Real Madrid 3-0 Leganés

The hosts cannot afford to drop more points in the La Liga race, as Barcelona still have a game in hand. A victory would put them three points clear of Real Madrid.  

Ancelotti’s men were caught off guard by Real Betis (2-3), allowing Barça to take the lead of the championship. 

The match against Leganes will be three days before the Copa del Rey, forcing Ancelotti to decide where to prioritize his squad.

With Fran García and Ferland Mendy unavailable, Camavinga is likely to play out of position at left-back again. Leganés have struggled in the last months, giving Real Madrid the perfect opportunity to gain confidence ahead of a challenging schedule. 

Real Madrid vs Leganés Betting Tip

• Pick: Federico Valverde to score 
• Odds: 4 (22Bet)

Kylian Mbappé would be an easy choice given his pace, but Leganés have made a name for themselves in the league as the type of team that would not allow Mbappé much open space. 

A compact defensive setup favors long-range shots, making Fede Valverde a strong candidate to score. He’s distinguished himself in the last few years due to the power of his shots, often at the edge of the penalty box.
