Real Madrid eye quarter-final berth in 2018/19 Copa del Rey as they take on Leganes away
Kick-off : 9:30 PM (Local)
Venue : Estadio Municipal de Butarque, Leganes
Real Madrid did well in the first leg at home against Leganes scoring three goals and now will just hope to continue applying pressure on their opponents.
Quarter-Final berth is not far away and Los Blancos will be eager to win this tournament. La Liga this season is not going their way and Copa del Rey should be a winnable one now.
Los Blancos have their next three games against Sevilla, Espanyol and Alaves respectively in the La Liga.
On the other hand, Leganes will be happy that they have reached thus far in 2018/19 Copa del Rey but will surely be eager to do more though howsoever unlikely it might be.
Lega know it will be a tough game against Real Madrid especially after loosing the first leg so heavily. But they will have to give their best and hope for the best.
Real Madrid have a good record against Leganes and they will look to continue the good work.
Team news and possible line-ups
Diego Rolan is doubtful for Leganes for the midweek game.
As for Real Madrid, Karim Benzema is a doubt.
Leganes XI : Cuellar, Juanfran, Bustinza, Siovas, Tarin, Silva, El Zhar, Perez, Garcia, Merino, Brathwaite.
Real Madrid XI : Navas, Odriozola, Ramos, Nacho, Reguilon, Ceballos, Casemiro, Valverde, Vinicius, Isco, Vasquez.
Prediction
It should be a good game as both teams will give their all but in the end I expect Real Madrid to get the job done and earn a victory qualifying for the quarter-finals in the process. They might win 2-1.
