Real Madrid vs. Leganes Predictions

Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Real Madrid vs. Leganes at La Liga

When: Sunday, March 30, 04:00 AM
Where: Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid, Spain

Los Blancos’ margin for error is too small because they and Barcelona have the same number of points, with the note that the Catalan club has a game in hand. Leganes fights to stay in La Liga and is the first team under the red line. Every point is worth gold for this unit, which didn’t play well over the recent few weeks.

Real Madrid vs. Leganes Preview

Real Madrid

The international break came at the right moment for Real. They were in the middle of a tough stretch and needed some rest. Overall, Ancelotti’s team came out well from all these challenges, advancing to the Champions League quarterfinals and staying in the La Liga title race.

However, what’s noticeable is that Real’s defense struggles to gain consistency and frequently allows goals. Believe it or not, the European champions have just two clean sheets in the recent 10 matches across all competitions.

Ancelotti’s unit is riding a four-game winning streak at Bernabeu, during which they scored at least twice in each event. Overall, Real won seven of the recent eight at home, having one tie along the way.

Leganes

With just one victory over the recent eight La Liga matches, Leganes’ current situation isn’t promising. They are on the decline and have no answer to all the problems surrounding them. Right now, the team from the Madrid metro area is first under the relegation line, though they have a chance to stay in La Liga.

Leganes plays very defensive-minded and conservative football away from home. In 14 matches, this unit has posted just one victory, seven draws, and six defeats, allowing 21 goals and scoring 11.

That sole victory was fought in Valencia in mid-December, 1-2. Although they had some triumphs in the Copa del Rey, that won’t help them in the relegation race.

Real Madrid vs Leganes Head to Head

Real and Leganes met twice this season, both times on Leganes’ field. The first game was in November, in La Liga, and Real won it routinely, 0-3. The second was in early February, in Copa del Rey, when Los Blancos had to work harder to win, 2-3.

Real Madrid vs. Leganes Predictions

This should be easy for the Madridians, who are very powerful at home. Leganes is weak on the road, which is why we expect to see Real’s routine victory in this contest by at least a two-goal margin. For those who are willing to risk, go with Real netting twice in the opening 45 minutes because the odds really have value here.

Our verdict: Real Madrid -1.5
