Leganes take on the visitors Real Madrid in the round 32 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Monday, April 15th at Estadio Municipal de Butarque (Leganes).
After the first matches of the qualifying round for Euro 2020 ended, Leganes came out in a fairly good form. To some extent, this was positively influenced by the fact that not many players left for the national guty. So far, the head coach is not in a hurry to trust Vasily Kravets and Andrei Lunin, who mostly sit on the bench. At the same time, Pellegrino can also be understood, for Lunin, for the time being, even with his talent, is too early to seal a place as a golie of La Liga club. Ivan Cuellar copes well with his responsibilities, so for now there is no reason to change him. “Leganes” sometimes show nice football, beating up more ambitious opponents. The hosts were expected to see in the battle for survival this season. Despite the fact that Munoz, En-Nesiri and Szymanowski are currently in the infirmary, so far Pellegrino has everything under control. A competent mentor and a few quality rented guys are one of the main guarantees of success. At the moment, "Leganes" is on the 11th place, having 40 points after 31 matches. The team looks very solid at their half, and this is also a great merit of the main goalkeeper.

Real has survived this season and, perhaps, continues to experience a protracted crisis. Florentino Perez's bet on Julen Lopetegui was expected to justify itself - he was not able to do anything with the younger generation, which was eager to replace recognized stars. The personnel resource of Real Madrid was limited in the summer, so the young specialist did not succeed. When Santiago Solari came to the post of head coach in the fall, he stabilized the situation a bit. However, a series of misfires did not allow him to withdraw the team from the crisis. After the team was knocked off from the Spanish Cup and the Champions League, the rotation took place again on the coaching bridge. Many thought that Jose Mourinho would take over a jot at Real Madrid, but it all happened differently. Florentino Perez several times during the current season asked Zinedine Zidane to return to the post of head coach, but the French specialist responded to this proposal only a couple of weeks ago. Of course, victories over Huesca and Celta are unlikely to testify to anything. At the moment, “Real” is in 3rd place in the standings, having 2 points behind its worst enemy - Madrid “Atletico”. In the infirmary of the club continue to stay Vinicius Junior and Dani Carvajal.
The opponents had faced each other three times this season. In the reversed fixture, Real Madrid easily beat Leganes with a 4: 1 score. The first half ended in a draw outcome, but in the second Real put the squeeze on their rival. In January, the teams crossed in the Spanish Cup. The first game in the capital ended again with the crushing victory of Real - 3: 0. In the second game, Real Madrid lost (0: 1), but still went to the quarter-finals. Interestingly, last season the teams also met in the Cup, but then it was already the quarterfinal stage. Real Madrid won the first match away with the score 1: 0, but the other one lost at home 1: 2, so he left the tournament. Without a doubt, “Leganes” and “Real” are teams from different planets. “Leganes” won against Real both in the past and this year, nevertheless, everyone perfectly understands what the mood of “Real” was for these matches. Zidane has returned to the post of head coach, and now some players will need to re-gain the trust of a mentor. “Creamy” will play at the maximum of opportunities, so they will write down the next two points in the piggy bank.
Prediction for the match: Real Madrid to win.
