Leganes is not very happy that it is being played just now, because they have fallen in shape and have played five games without a win, but they are still somewhere around the middle of the table. For Real, on the other hand, it is better that it will be played now, although their schedule is tough, however, they started playing much better and they are hoping to continue the positive series of three wins in a row. These two teams have already met in the Cup this season and Leganes has sensationally eliminated the team of Real.
Leganes is in the obvious drop in form and they are certainly not happy that they must now play this match with Real. When they were in the best form, they have parried this team in the Cup and with the sensational 2-1 victory at Santiago Bernabeu eliminated their big city rivals, but later they were also eliminated by Sevilla, with which they played a draw at home, and lost as guests.
After the mentioned triumph over Real, they played well only with Espanyol and celebrated with 3-2, then they played two draws in a row and three more defeats. In the last four games they failed to score, while they suffered a particularly painful home defeat by Eibar with 1-0 and as guests by Girona in the last round with 3-0. Coach Garitano tried to make some adjustments in Girona but did not succeed, while Siovas could now return to the team after the suspension.
Probable lineups Leganes: Cuellar – Zaldua, Siovas, Munoz, D.Rico – Ruben Perez, Gumbau – El Zhar, Eraso, N.Amrabat – Guerrero
Real is finally in a good mood and they only need to improve their defence a little bit more, because they cannot seem to keep their net intact, however, their attack is compensating for all that and therefore Real usually wins and plays attractive matches. They have a series of three wins and they have scored 13 goals in these duels, of which five in two championship matches, and three against PSG in the Champions League. Sufficient 3-1 offers peace of mind, though they will have to be careful, and that is why coach Zidane is now rotating the starting lineup, so there were a lot of changes against Betis.
Zidane has already made some changes after the victory over Real Sociedad with 5-2 and they performed with their strongest forces in the Champions league, except for the defeated Carvajal. He played in Sevilla, while Varano, Modic, Isco and Benzema were on the bench, and T. Kroos was out of action due to injury. Marcelo had to leave the game earlier and he will certainly miss this duel as well as Kroos, while there will surely be some changes again and we expect Varane, T.Hernandez, Modric, Isco and Benzema from the first minute on the field.
Probable lineups Real Madrid: Navas – Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, T.Hernandez – Modric, Isco – Asensio, Ronaldo, Bale – Benzema
Leganes is having problems and they are playing worse and worse, so this is a good opportunity for Real to revenge to them for that elimination in the Cup. The guests are constantly rotating the composition and thus keeping the freshness, and here we expect their full dominance and lots of goals.
Pick: over 3 goals 1.9 -
