Leganes have been dreadful on the road in both cup and league competitions this season, with much of the good work that Asier Garitano’s men have done happening at Butarque. Despite the short journey across Madrid for this match, they should be lacking confidence that they can get a result.

Our Real Madrid vs Leganes predictions are based on the fact that the away side must battle from behind on the aggregate scoreline, which makes them conceding more goals that we are accustomed to seeing look rather likely in our Copa del Rey predictions.

Real Madrid are under pressure to perform, with coach Zinedine Zidane having plenty of awkward questions to answer of late. The best way to take some of that off is to win and book Los Blancos’ place in a domestic cup semi-final.

Real Madrid vs Leganes Prediction and Betting Advice

The home side should be very confident heading into this second leg, down to the fact that Leganes are so dreadful on the road. Los Pepineros are winless in their last seven attempts away from Butarque, and they have only hit the back of the net in two of their last five away games in all competitions.

Garitano’s men will be pushing for an away goal to match Real Madrid and their explosive attack should be able to cause Real Madrid’s back line some problems with their pace and drive. 10Bet offer the best odds and value on the visitors managing to score but ultimately falling short on a huge stage such as the Bernabeu.

Leganes have found the back of the net in their last two attempts on the road, with Villarreal and Real Betis both allowing Los Pepineros to find a way through. Given that the likes of Sergio Ramos and Jesus Vallejo have struggled for fitness of late, there should be gaps to exploit.

Our Real Madrid vs Leganes bets back there to be some entertainment in the Spanish capital, as Los Blancos have a point to prove. The likes of Asensio, Dani Ceballos, and Borja Mayoral could get more opportunities in the cup, with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, and potentially Karim Benzema fit to feature if required too.

Betway offer the best odds on there being three goals or more in this second leg, which will be down to Real Madrid pushing their luck to put on a bit of a show at their own ground. Their fans need to see some positives before long in what is a very difficult season for Zidane and company.

Our Real Madrid vs Leganes betting tips suggest that the hosts will be able to make their offensive quality count in impressive fashion. Leganes will be capable of causing the odd problem on the break and will probably exploit a few gaps but overall, Los Blancos will triumph.
