Real Madrid
Real Madrid resume their La Liga campaign after the international break, determined to keep pace with Barcelona in the title race. Carlo Ancelotti’s side entered the break on a high, having secured back-to-back 2-1 league victories, and they will look to extend their impressive home record when they host relegation-threatened Leganes.
The return of key players from international duty without major injury concerns will be a relief for Ancelotti, with only minor doubts over goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. In attack, Kylian Mbappe continues to shine in his debut season, having already surpassed Ronaldo Nazario's goal tally from 2002/03. With the French superstar leading the line, Real Madrid will be confident of securing another dominant performance, especially given their record of four consecutive home wins against Leganés, scoring 14 goals in the process.
Leganes
Leganes are facing an uphill battle as they fight to escape the relegation zone. Their recent form has been worrying, with only one win in their last eight La Liga matches, and they have already suffered two defeats to Real Madrid this season in both league and cup, conceding three goals on each occasion.
Despite their struggles, Leganes have shown they can pull off surprises, having secured stunning 1-0 victories over both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid this season. However, replicating that feat at the Bernabeu will be a monumental challenge, especially considering their poor away form - just one win in 14 road matches. With three consecutive away defeats and only one goal scored in that period, they will need a near-perfect performance to take anything from this game.
The Betting Verdict
With Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe in top form, Real Madrid’s attack is expected to overwhelm a struggling Leganes defense. The visitors’ best hope lies in their defensive organisation and counter-attacks led by Miguel de la Fuente, but whether they can withstand Real’s relentless pressure remains to be seen.
Everything points to a comfortable win for Real Madrid, especially given Leganes’ struggles away from home. The visitors have lacked firepower on the road, while Madrid have been clinical at home. Expect Los Blancos to take control early and see out a professional victory.
