Real Madrid vs Leganes Prediction and Analysis: The White Eagles Spread Their Wings

Latest team news for Real Madrid vs Leganes

Real Madrid will continue to be without two long-term key players, Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao, due to injury. However, both are recovering well and are likely to return to action before the end of the 2024-25 season.

Ferland Mendy, Dani Ceballos, and Jesus Vallejo are also absent, but Real Madrid have not suffered any new injuries during the international break. Stars like Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Jude Bellingham are all available to play.

Vinicius and Antonio Rudiger will return to the starting lineup after being benched in the previous match against Villarreal. Meanwhile, Fran Garcia is expected to continue starting at left-back in place of Mendy.

Mbappe is aiming to improve his goalscoring record, having already scored 31 goals in all competitions in the 2024-25 season.

On Leganes' side, Enric Franquesa remains sidelined with a long-term knee injury. Meanwhile, Diego Garcia and Yvan Neyou's participation is still uncertain, requiring last-minute fitness checks to determine their readiness.

Dani Raba scored a brace against Real Betis before the international break while playing as a central striker, and the Spaniard is likely to continue in that role this weekend, with Miguel de la Fuente on the bench.

Juan Cruz – who scored two goals against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey earlier in the season – will continue to be given a starting opportunity on the wing. The 24-year-old is having an impressive season with seven goals and four assists in 32 games played.

Latest Real Madrid vs Leganes football match prediction

Real Madrid currently have a record of 18 wins, six draws, and four losses after 28 rounds in La Liga this season, with a total of 60 points, ranking second in the standings, behind league leaders Barcelona due to an inferior head-to-head record.

However, the Catalan team still has a game in hand, against Osasuna on Thursday night. Therefore, Real Madrid could see the gap widen to three points before their home game against Leganes.

Carlo Ancelotti's team entered the March international break with a 2-1 victory over Villarreal, in which Kylian Mbappe scored a brace. This win also marked the capital club's fourth consecutive victory in all competitions.

Los Blancos are hoping to win a treble in the final stages of the season, with Arsenal as their opponent in the Champions League quarter-finals. They will also host Real Sociedad in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final next week.

Although Real Madrid may not have been at their best for much of the season, they are still in a very favorable position to add another trophy to their trophy cabinet in the final months.

Real Madrid currently have the best home record in La Liga this season, with 34 points from 13 matches at the Bernabeu. Meanwhile, Leganes have only managed 10 points from 14 away matches in the 2024-25 season.

Leganes have faced Real Madrid twice this season. They lost 0-3 in the first leg of La Liga in November, and then suffered a 2-3 defeat in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals last month.

In fact, Leganes have never won against Real Madrid in La Liga, with seven losses and two draws in nine encounters. Both of those draws took place at their home ground.

The last time the two teams met in La Liga at the Bernabeu was in October 2019, when the home team won convincingly 5-0. However, Leganes players will have a physical advantage in the upcoming match, as many Real Madrid stars have just returned from international duty.

Leganes started March with a 1-0 win against Getafe, but then suffered two consecutive defeats against Celta Vigo and Real Betis. They are currently 18th in the league table, level on points with 17th-placed Alaves.

Coach Borja Jimenez's team – last season's Segunda Division champions – are struggling away from home this season. However, they did pull off a surprise 1-0 victory at league leaders Barcelona just before the winter break in Spain.
