Leganes v Real Madrid Preview

It is not too likely that Leganes are going to come back from this deficit. Their 3-0 loss at the Bernabeu sees them needing a miracle. Just once this season have they managed to score more than two goals in match. They haven’t scored more than one goal per match in any of their last seven played now in all competitions. In fact, they have scored just the two goals in their last five games played. So it’s not as if they are a tremendous threat. However, they do have a scoring streak at home. They have scored in each of their last eight home games (W4 D3) and there was a league win over Barcelona and a draw with Atletico Madrid in that sequence.

Key-Facts – Leganes v Real Madrid

  • Leganes have only scored more than two goals in one single match this season
  • Leganes are on an eight match scoring streak at home
  • Real Madrid have won all but one of their last ten games against Leganes

 

Real Madrid though can coast from this. It’s not always been the most convincing of seasons, especially on their travels, but they have gotten better. There is little need for them to be at full strength for this one, so it may be worth backing them concede in the game, especially with the home scoring streak of Leganes. The tie is realistically in the bag and so it’s all about just getting through the 90 minutes. Real Madrid took a 1-0 away win back in January in last season’s Copa del Rey against Leganes and have now won nine of their previous ten games against them (L1).

Leganes v Real Madrid Predictions

Real Madrid to win: Los Merengues should be locked into a place in the quarterfinals. Leganes have to come at them but are just going to likely get picked off again. Real Madrid to win & both teams to score at 12/5 odds* (betting odds taken from January 13th, 2019 at 8:13 pm).
