Real Madrid will be aiming to maintain their title charge when they host Leganes at the Santiago Bernabeu. Following Barcelona’s victory over Osasuna, Los Blancos find themselves three points behind the league leaders. However, they have the perfect opportunity to close the gap with a win against Leganes, as their arch-rivals are not in action until Sunday.
Madrid entered the international break on a high after securing a thrilling Champions League victory against Atletico Madrid and following it up with a crucial league win over Villarreal. Carlo Ancelotti’s men will be in confident mood, especially with their attacking stars in fine form.
On the other hand, Leganes are struggling near the foot of the table, currently sitting in the relegation zone on goal difference. The capital-based side will have to put in a stellar performance to stand any chance against a Madrid side full of firepower. Given their recent form, an upset seems unlikely.
