Real Madrid return to La Liga action on Saturday after the international break, hosting local rivals Leganés at the Santiago Bernabéu. With just a couple of months left in the season, every match counts for Carlo Ancelotti's men as they continue their push for a domestic and European double.
Los Blancos entered the break on a positive note, edging Villarreal 2-1 away from home. That result marked their third win in four league matches, keeping them firmly in the driver's seat for the La Liga title. However, their performances have not been without issues—particularly at the back. Madrid have managed just two clean sheets in their last 13 outings across all competitions, a vulnerability that Ancelotti will be eager to address heading into the business end of the season.
Despite defensive lapses, Madrid's quality continues to shine through. Their recent 3-2 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League confirmed their quarter-final place, and their Copa del Rey victory over Leganés earlier this year underlined their dominance in this fixture. Historically, Madrid have had Leganés' number, with emphatic wins like the 5-0 thumping at the Bernabéu in 2019 still fresh in fans' minds.

Our Real Madrid vs Leganés Prediction
Leganés are facing a tough battle for survival in their return season to the top flight. Sitting in the relegation zone, Borja Jiménez's side has lost momentum, picking up just one win in their last nine matches in all competitions. Before the break, they suffered back-to-back defeats, including a 3-2 loss to Real Betis and a heavy 3-0 defeat against Real Sociedad. Their leaky defense and inability to hold onto leads have been major concerns.
In terms of team news, Real Madrid are still without Ferland Mendy and Eder Militão, both recovering from knee injuries. Dani Carvajal is nearing a return but is unlikely to be risked. Leganés will miss defenders Enric Franquesa and Borna Barišić, but could welcome back Munir El Haddadi following suspension. Dani Raba, who has scored four in his last five, is expected to lead the line for the visitors.
Given the gulf in quality, form, and squad depth, Real Madrid are heavy favorites. With Leganés desperate for points but defensively vulnerable, and Madrid eager to reassert their title credentials, a high-scoring affair at the Bernabéu could be on the cards. Our prediction for Real Madrid vs. Leganes: Real Madrid to win.
