Leganes vs Real Madrid Predictions

• Real Madrid have won four of their last five on the road
• Leganes have lost four of their last five at home
• The visitors have scored three or more goals in six of their previous eight trips

Real to bounce back

Real Madrid were beaten 1-0 at Espanyol on Saturday, weakening their hold on top spot in La Liga. However, the European champions had the better of the chances, winning the xG battle 1.3 to 0.3.

The visitors have won four of their last five on the road, while they’ve scored three or more goals in six of their previous eight trips. Real won 3-0 at Leganes back in November and the hosts look set for another heavy loss.

The hosts have improved of late, but they’ve lost four of their last five at home, with three of those defeats coming by a three-goal margin. Given the gulf between the two and Real’s need to respond from Saturday’s loss, take a comfortable win for the visitors in this cup clash.

Real to clear a -1 handicap is my main tip, with a repeat of last year’s 3-0 victory for Real also backed.
