Leganes vs Real Madrid Prediction & Betting tips
In December 2017, Real Madrid crowned itself the world champion of club football and could thus at this time not compete in the domestic championship. The scheduled game in the 16th round against CD Leganes was thus postponed to next Wednesday. This Nachtragsspiel carries great explosiveness in itself. Leganes is the southern suburb of Madrid – a small town derby is thus on the doorstep. In addition, the suburban club recently celebrated a sensation when the big Real Madrid were eliminated in the Cup quarter-finals. In the Santiago Bernabéu Leganes won 2-1 on 24 January, knocking the royals out of the competition. Real Madrid wants to take revenge for this embarrassment and show who is the number one in the Madrid area.
So far, there were four direct duels between these two clubs. As already mentioned, the last game went to Leganes. Previously, however, could each prevail Real Madrid, which speaks the balance for the Royal.
Leganes :
CD Leganes plays the second season of club history in the major league and is currently ranked with 29 points in the satisfactory 13th place in the table. It is likely that the club will have nothing to do with the descent and also the international seats should rather not be an issue. From this point of view, the team can go relatively freed in the coming games. Recently, the team had a small break-in. Cross-competition, the last three games were all lost. In the semi-final of the Copa del Rey Leganes had to strike out against Sevilla. After a 1-1 in the first leg Sevilla was able to prevail with a 2-0 in the second leg. In the league there was then a 0-1 defeat against Eibar, followed by a bitter 0-3 clapping against Girona. In the last four matches, the team has been unable to score. Their last goal came in January, when they drew 1-1 in the Cup semi-final against Sevilla. Legan’s last win came against Espanyol Barcelona on Matchday 21, where the side won 3-2.
From a personal point of view coach Asier Garitano has no great worries to complain about. Alexander Szymanowski and Dos Santos Mauro are back in team training after injury and could be an option for the upcoming match. Only midfielder Darko Brasanac has problems with his shoulder at the moment and could miss Real Madrid. Behind his mission is still a question mark.
Real Madrid:
After a mixed beginning of the year, the royal ones are gaining more and more momentum. Four of the last five games have been won, including a 3-1 win in the first leg of the knockout round of the Champions League against Paris Saint Germain. The gate to the quarterfinals has already opened wide. However, the situation in the league still does not look rosy. With 45 points from 23 games, the team ranks only in fourth place behind Valencia, Atletico and Barcelona. The gap to leaders Barcelona is already 17 points.
Currently the offensive of Real Madrid convinces again. In the last five games, the Royal could score a total of 19 goals. Valencia were defeated 4-1, the match against Levante ended 2-2 and 5: 2 Real Sociedad was sent home. Three goals were scored by Ronaldo and Co. against Paris and their last match against Betis Sevilla ended with a spectacular 5: 3 away win. Asensio’s goal to 3: 2 was the 6,000. Goal of the club in the league – no other Spanish team has succeeded before. Based on these results, however, the current problem area of Real Madrid can be seen. The defensive of the team is not solid, which also had to concede nine goals in the last five matches. The defensive performance is currently the weak point of the Royal.
From a personal point of view coach Zinédine Zidane had to accept some setbacks. Two non-substitute players are currently in the hospital of Real Madrid. Toni Kroos drew in a 3-1 defeat of Paris Saint Germain, an expansion of the outside ligament in his left knee and will probably be missing until the beginning of March. In the last game against Betis Sevilla Marcelo suffered without external interference pain in the rear right thigh and had to be replaced. Zidane reiterated right after the match that it was not serious. Nevertheless, it can be assumed that Marcelo can not play against Leganes.
