The 2024-25 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Leganes take on Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid side in an important encounter at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque on Sunday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.
Leganes are currently in 14th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The home side defeated Sevilla by a narrow 1-0 margin last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this year. Los Blancos thrashed Osasuna by a comprehensive 4-0 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar scoreline this weekend.
Real Madrid have suffered from the occasional stutter so far this season but remain within reach of arch-rivals Barcelona in the title race. Vinicius Junior has been brilliant for Los Blancos this year and will look to make his mark yet again this weekend.
Leganes have made their home ground a fortress this season but will be up against one of Europe's strongest teams on Sunday. Real Madrid are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
