Each team's starting lineup from their previous match in this tournament is listed.
Leganes
The team played their last match at home, where they defeated Sevilla 1-0. The only goal was scored from the penalty spot. This marked their third victory in La Liga since returning from Segunda, with all wins coming on home turf. Borja Jimenez's side is now four points clear of the relegation zone.
- In 8 of Leganes's last 11 league matches, no more than two goals were scored.
- The club has not trailed at halftime in 11 of their 13 La Liga matches this season (2 wins and 9 draws).
- The team has yet to score in the first half at home in La Liga, with 5 of 6 matches ending in a goalless draw.
Real Madrid
The Madrid side quickly bounced back from a heavy defeat inflicted by Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu (0-4). In their next league match, Carlo Ancelotti's team responded with a similar 4-0 victory over Osasuna. Like their city rivals Atletico, Real Madrid has only one defeat in the current La Liga season. However, they trail the leading Catalans by six points but have a game in hand.
Forward Rodrygo Goes, defenders David Alaba, Dani Carvajal, Lucas Vazquez, and Eder Militao, as well as midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, will not play in the near future due to injuries.
- The club has opened the scoring in 7 of their last 9 La Liga matches.
- Real Madrid is unbeaten in their last 20 away league games (12 wins and 8 draws).
- Both teams have scored in 5 of Madrid's last 6 away La Liga matches.
Leganes vs. Real Madrid: Match Prediction
Borja Jimenez's side has collected 10 out of a possible 18 points at home in this league campaign, with these points earned against opponents positioned in the lower half of the standings. Leganes has lost two home matches, both without scoring, to top-ten clubs – Athletic and Mallorca.
Madrid has not lost an away game in La Liga since last September. After Barcelona's defeat, the team has a chance to close the gap, so Real Madrid intends not to drop points in the near future, especially against teams from the lower half of the table.
I expect at least two goals in the match. In all 12 of Carlo Ancelotti's side's La Liga 2024/25 matches, fewer than two goals have not been scored. This level of scoring was also present in the previous eight head-to-head meetings in La Liga, with Madrid achieving 6 wins and 2 draws in this series.
My prediction – Home win and Total over 1.5 goals
Sevilla
Rayo Vallecano
Athletic Bilbao
Real Sociedad
