Leganes vs Real Madrid Prediction & Betting Tips (24 November)

Champion of the 2nd division, Leganes is advancing as a promotion but with a very specific objective of maintaining its place in the elite. This is clearly possible regarding this campaign since at the start of this championship day, the Pepineros were in 14th place. Better yet, they have won 2 of their last 3 La Liga matches, against Celta Vigo in style at home 3-0 and against Sevilla FC before the international break, still without conceding a goal 1-0L Like all LaLiga teams, Leganes got their ticket to the 1/32 finals of the Copa del Rey by winning by a small goal against Ciudad de Lucena 1-2. After winning the Spanish championship for the 36th time in its history last year, Real Madrid is facing real competition this year with the Hansi Flick version of Barça.

However, the Merengue lost one match less than their main historical rivals, but their only defeat came against the Blaugrana at the Bernabéu, with a monumental 0-4 slap. Thinking of immediately erasing this setback during the reception of AC Milan in the Champions League , the Madrilenians were outclassed 1-3 there again. Before the break, in a climate that was ultimately not so hostile from the madridistas, Carlo Ancelotti's gang found success again by slapping Osasuna at home, thanks in particular to a hat-trick from Vinicius Jr 4-0 . 

Suspended for the Sevilla FC reception, Neyou (ex-AS Saint-Étienne player) will be back in the group for the Real Madrid reception. The latter is important with 1 goal and 1 assist in the space of 9 appearances in the elite. On the other hand, Raba and Diego Garcia are still injured and apparently absent for this gala match. After a quality season last year with 13 goals in 35 appearances (D2), Miguel de la Fuente finally unlocked his pawn count in the elite by scoring the penalty in the win against Sevilla. There are experienced and very good players in this team like Munir El Haddadi, Brasanac, the crack Juan Cruz (4 goals this season), the Peruvian international Tapia and a certain Sébastien Haller , on loan from BVB for the season, and who has just returned from injury. Opposite is Real Madrid. The stars Vinicius, Mbappé, Bellingham will be at Ancelotti's disposal while Rodrygo and Vazquez, although they returned to the training grounds, more quickly than expected, will undoubtedly not be in combat gear at this time.

late afternoon (no early return). In addition, Alaba also returns to the group in training but he will be too short to play this evening, while the starting defenders Militao and Carvajal (ruptured cruciate ligaments on the agenda for both players) have finished their season. End of season also for Joan Martinez. Aurélien Tchouameni will be absent, he who has still not returned to the training grounds. Thibaut Courtois, absent since the clash against Barça, trained well during the break with in particular and he could regain his starting status at the expense of a Lunin who was nevertheless decisive against Osasuna on one of Vinicius' goals. Note that against Osasuna, Raul Asencio made his big debut with group A by making a perfect copy at the central defender position but he could evolve on the right according to the latest indiscretions, thus leaving Valverde higher up to bring Tchouameni down with Rüdiger in the central hinge.
