Real Madrid vs Leganes Prediction & Betting tips
An interesting match in this day of Wednesday is the one played by Real Madrid and Leganés for a new round of the Copa del Rey.
Real Madrid :
In my opinion, the merengue box starts as a favorite due to the collective and offensive potential it has, beyond the technical Zidane again use an alternate in this competition. For this reason and knowing that the unusual players will continue to show their best level to be considered, we advise you to play a few euros to the bet “Real Madrid will score in the first half”. At stake is to ensure the classification and not receive more criticism for the game displayed.
Take into account that Real Madrid defeated Deportivo 7-1 in the Bernabéu for the League and achieved a result that calmed a bit the criticism received. With 35 points in the tournament and being his league goal to qualify for the next Champions League, Zidane’s squad will seek to liquidate the key and qualify for the semifinal of the cup contest.
On the other hand do not forget that the merengue box will use a mixed one as it has happened throughout the Copa del Rey. Of course, you need to appear Lucas Vásquez and Asensio, to have more shooting and higher quality. It is expected that they can have a couple of chances in the initial stage.
Leganes :
Continuing with the analysis you should know that Leganés equaled 2-2 against Alavés as a visitor for the Spanish championship, reaching to add 25 units in total. The team aims to save themselves from the descent and get away as much as possible in these months. Of course, try to give the surprise in this key to have nothing to lose after the first game (defeat 0-1 on the final).
And finally we tell you that the visit is characterized by being harsh and tactical to diminish their individual and offensive limitations. Therefore, try to populate the midfield to not receive an early goal. However, this can fall by some punctual play and because it is always difficult to play at the Bernabéu.
After all that I said the game for the bet “Real Madrid scored in the first half” due to the following reasons: First because Real Madrid, so play with an alternate eleven as it has done in this tournament, is still a quality set . Because of this and knowing that these players want to show Zidane that they can be useful, we believe they will come out with everything to win the match and do it even from the initial stage. Second because the merengue box almost wins the first half of the duel of the previous key against Numancia (partial 1-0 victory with seconds left to finish that stage). And third because Leganés, even if it is a rough and tactical squad by nature, can end up losing because of a hierarchical issue. Faced with this reality, we believe that the “white” offensive block could take advantage and score a little thanks to its greater individual quality.
