Leganes v Real Madrid

Leganes vs Real Madrid Preview

Leganes picked up a second win in three games ahead of the international break as the hosts registered a 1-0 home win against Sevilla to lift Borja Jiménez's side up into 14th place in the La Liga table where they hold a four-point cushion between themselves and the relegation zone.

Sunday evening's hosts had previously captured all three points by way of a 3-0 home win against Celta Vigo but Leganes have managed to pick up only one more win so far this season, making it just three victories within their opening 13 league matches to date in La Liga this term.

That earlier victory came in the shape of a 2-1 home win against Las Palmas but Leganes have also been involved in six draws along with being handed five defeats as well so far in this campaign which has contributed to the host's lower half occupancy of the La Liga table.

The bigger picture shows Leganes have registered just six wins from their last 24 matches overall in the Spanish top flight along with winning just four of their previous 13 home games at their Estadio Municipal de Butarque, whilst slipping to four defeats as well.

Goals may come at a premium this Sunday as well as six out of Leganes' last 10 home games have also resulted in Under 2.5 goals.

Real Madrid maintained their second place position near the top of the La Liga table by recording a 4-0 rout at home against Osasuna as the visitors bounced back from a heavy defeat of their own in their previous game in the domestic top flight.

The visitors had been dealt a comprehensive 4-0 defeat at home to rivals Barcelona in the game before but this loss has been Real Madrid's only slip-up so far in this season's La Liga campaign.

Eight wins and three draws make up the other 11 results within Real Madrid's opening 12 league matches but Carlo Ancelotti's side have managed to collect just two of these eight victories on their travels which came by way of wins at Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo respectively.

Nevertheless, results away from home continue to be extremely solid where Real Madrid have been concerned as the visitors are now unbeaten in each of their previous 20 outings on the road in the Spanish top flight, while six of the Madrid club's last 10 away games in La Liga have also resulted in Under 2.5 goals being scored.
