Real Madrid vs Leganes Prediction & Betting tips
The troubled Real Madrid wants to forget her worries in the competition for a while, as Wednesday evening in the Copa del Rey against Citymate Leganes. Los Blancos, however, have bad memories of Los Pepineros, who last season created a resounding cup by nibbling the superpower from the Spanish Cup Tournament.
Real Madrid:
Well, what can we say about Real Madrid? The fallen Spanish superpower is totally lost this season, with the 0-2 home defeat against Real Sociedad as a preliminary low. The Madrilenians can now write the league title on their stomachs and also Champions League success seems very far away in the current form. The Copa del Rey is normally only a consolation prize for a club like Real Madrid, but the Spanish cup tournament is realistic given the only chance of silverware in this calendar year.
Is the Madrilan poison cup now finally empty? Frankly, I fear not. Real Madrid longs for a worthy replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, but does not seem to be pulling the wallet this winter. The Brahim Diaz, who was attracted this week, was the first winter purchase in almost four years, but he was mainly met with a view to the future. Furthermore, too many important players do not leave home this season. Players like Gareth Bale, Luka Modric, Marcelo and Toni Kroos are now the ones who have to pull the cart, but this season they perform incredibly changeable. To make matters worse, Kroos and Bale are currently in the rags basket, so trainer Santiago Solari is not to be envied. In La Liga, his team is currently out of the top four, so Real Madrid still needs to be fully insured to be ensured of participation in the Champions League next season. Chances are that Solari will rotate a bit on Wednesday evening and players such as Sergio Reguilon and Federico Valverde will set to work.
Leganes:
The Leganes supporters will undoubtedly regularly think back to that memorable January evening of almost a year ago in the Santiago Bernabeu. Javier Eraso and Gabriel Pires shot Leganes in the den of the lion to a 1-2 victory, with which the 0-1 defeat of a week earlier was undone and the blues were placed before the semifinals of the Copa del Rey.
The hero of the time, the Brazilian Gabriel, is now a bank sitter at Benfica, but hopes to repeat the cup last year. However, the priority of Los Pepineros lies with La Liga. The team of trainer Mauricio Pellegrino is only two points above the danger zone in the Spanish Royal class and will therefore have to make every effort to survive. Anyway, Leganes is in good shape with only one defeat in her last seven official matches. That is mainly due to the decent five-man rear and the great keeper Ivan Cuellar. Leganes got only 21 counterstarts this season – that’s two less than Real Madrid! So you have to come from a good house to find a hole in the blue-white wall.
