LiontipsLeganes vs. Real Madrid. Prediction (odds 5.25) and bets on the Spanish Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
It not all good for Leganes as they sit bottom mid-table heading into the weekend, having won two of their last three league games. They are doing better than the other two teams that were promoted with them last year, but a 1-0 win over Sevilla in their last game came at a high cost as Enric Franquesa suffered a knee injury that could end his season.
The Cucumbers are keen to bring former Real Madrid star Marcelo back to Spain to make up for his absence, although they will have to make do with what they have until the January transfer window opens. However, all three https://www.cdleganes.com target=_blank rel=noopener>of the Pepineros ' La Liga wins this year have come at home, so the resumption of the competition after the international break at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque could be useful as they seek a first-ever league win in head-to-head duels with Los Blancos.
Disqualifications and injuries
Garcia (injury), Tapia (muscle injury) and Franqueza (knee injury) will not be able to take to the football field.
Interesting trends for betting
- None of Leganes' last four home league games have seen either team score
Leganes have problems both defensively and creatively – they often lose their heads and go forward to try to catch up, which ultimately makes the situation even worse. The hosts also have the lowest percentage in the league (17 percent) of Leganes’ six home games in La Liga this season in which both teams have scored.
- Juan Cruz has scored in two of Leganes' last three competitive matches
What remarkable is that Real Madrid need to pay maximum attention to this player at a certain time - in both cases he distinguished himself between the 40th and 55th minutes
Estimated line-up: Soriano - Lopez, Brsanac, Cisse, Cruz - de la Fuente, Garcia, Gonzalez, Guairo - Hernandez, Raba.
Current form
Real Madrid are themselves in trouble after Eder Militao, Lucas Vazquez and Rodrygo picked up injuries in their 4-0 win over Osasuna before the international break in November. Militao will miss the rest of the season and while they could welcome back fit-again goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, manager Carlo Ancelotti looks set to field a makeshift backline that could include 21-year-old Raul Asensio in the centre and Federico Valverde on the right.
While Los Blancos test their squad depth, they are defending an unbeaten away run in the league that stretches back to the end of September 2023 as they look to keep arch-rivals Barcelona in sight. However, the Whites have failed to win any of their last three visits here in all competitions, so they are in for a potentially uncomfortable night.
Disqualifications and injuries
Alaba (knee injury), Carvajal (ankle injury), Courtois (muscle injury) and Militao (knee injury) are out.
Interesting trends for betting
- Real Madrid have failed to win any of their last three visits to the Estadio Municipal de Butarque
The legendary defense of the "creamy" will have a serious load in attack, where they will help their attacking players, but at this moment the main thing is not to lose sight of the counterattack of the "pepineros".
- Rodrigo returned from injury midweek and could start
Ancelotti is keen to freshen up his attacking options - both of the Brazilian recent goals have come after the break
- Brahim Diaz could transfer his Morocco form to the domestic scene
The African is in great form and has become the national team star player in a short break, scoring five goals during the international break - four of them before the 25th minute!
Probable line-up: Courtois - Modric, Rudiger, Valverde, Ceballos - Asensio, Diaz, Bellingham, Rodrygo - Mbappe, Vinicius.

1.99Tip and bets
Today we expect maximum concentration in the attack, while it is precisely the quality play near the opponent goal that can ultimately bring victory. We assume that the favorite will be able to play at full strength today, despite the resistance of the hosts. In addition, in the last two face-to-face matches, less than four goals were scored, which we do not exclude in this confrontation.
Our prediction is a total of more than three goals and we bet on it with a coefficient of 2.85
Bet on the outcome
Today the opponents are set to win – Leganes is on their home arena and looks good in front of their fans. Real is the favorite of this match and in any combination of the lineup and with any losses is two heads stronger than almost any team in La Liga. Moreover, the “whites” have enough support in any city in Europe, especially in their native Spain. We believe that Carlo Ancelotti’s charges will take full control of the game and achieve a confident victory with a comfortable score for themselves.
Prediction: Real Madrid win by three goals and we bet on it with odds of 5.25
Bet on a penalty
Both clubs will likely compensate for their lack of technique through fouls and roughness, which will lead to an abundance of set pieces, including a penalty kick. In addition, penalties have been awarded in two of the last four matches.
Prediction - penalty (yes) for 2.85
