Best Odds: 37/5
Leganes and Real Madrid will lock horns with each other in La Liga this weekend. The match between Borja Jiménez’s side and Carlo Ancelotti’s team will be held at Estadio Municipal Butarque and is scheduled to kick off at 5:30 pm UK time on Sunday.
Leganes
Leganes are a modest club in Spain who are happy just to be part of the 20 teams in La Liga. They won the Segunda Division title last season and clinched promotion to the top flight of Spanish football.
Expected by many to get relegated back to the second tier of Spanish football at the end of the season, Leganes are doing relatively well at the moment. Borja Jiménez’s side are four points above the bottom three in the La Liga table with 14 points from 13 games. They are currently 14th in the standings.
Leganes will head into the La Liga match against Real Madrid on the back of a 1-0 victory over Sevilla at home in the league. It came after a 4-3 defeat at the hands of Girona on the road in La Liga which followed a 2-1 victory over Lucena away from home in Copa del Rey.
Team News:
Leganes are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Real Madrid. Marko Dmitrovic will be in goal for the home team and will have Adrià Altimira, Sergio González, Matija Nastasic and Enric Franquesa in front of him in defence. Renato Tapia and Seydouba Cisse will be the two holding midfielders. Juan Cruz, Darko Brasanac and Munir El Haddadi will be the three attacking midfielders. Miguel de la Fuente will lead the line for Leganes.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid are arguably the biggest club in the world and have one of the strongest teams on the planet. Things are not going perfectly for Carlo Ancelotti’s side at the moment, but it is only the middle of November.
Los Blancos are second in the La Liga table at the moment with 27 points from 12 matches. Madrid, who won the league title and the UEFA Champions League last season, are six points behind leaders and bitter rivals Barcelona, who have played 13 games.
Madrid will head into the La Liga match against Leganes on the back of a 4-0 victory over Osasunda at the Santiago Bernabeu in the league. It came after a 3-1 defeat at the hands of AC Milan in front of their fans in the UEFA Champions League which followed a 4-0 loss to Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu in La Liga.

Madrid are likely to line up in a 4-3-3 formation against Leganes. Andriy Lunin will be in goal for Los Blancos. Lucas Vázquez, Éder Militão, Antonio Rüdiger and Fran García will be the four defenders. Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga and Jude Bellingham will be the three midfielders.
