Prediction: 0-2
Real Madrid
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Estadio Municipal de Butarque when Leganes and Real Madrid square off against each other in the local derby. Leganes have been performing above expectations of late, beating both Celta Vigo and Sevilla at home, but, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from Sunday’s encounter. Enric Franquesa limped off with injury in the last league match, with Javi Hernandez likely to step up.
Los Blancos, on the other hand, recorded a morale-boosting 4-0 win over Osasuna before the international break, melting a bit Barca’s advantage in the standings. As Estadio Municipal de Butarque will be packed with Real Madrid fans on Sunday afternoon, we are tempted to place our bets on the reigning champions once again. The likes of Rodrygo, Aurelien Tchouameni, Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, and Eder Militao should miss out with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Luka Modric):
Luka Modric is regarded as one of the best central midfielders in world football. The Croatian ace is a product of Dinamo Zagreb’s youth school and it has to be noted that he played 94 league games for the Modri between 2003 and 2008. In 2008 he signed a six-year deal with Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £16.5 million.
Luka made his Tottenham debut on 16 August, 2008 in a 2-1 loss to Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium. The Croatian star scored only 13 goals in 127 league appearances for the Spurs, but he is well known for his brilliant passing. In 2012 he signed for Real Madrid for a fee of £30 million and he made his debut against Barcelona in the 2012 Spanish Super Cup, return leg.
Modric quickly established himself as a first-team regular and, no doubt, he helped the capital club win two Champions League trophies (2013/2014, 2015/2016). You should bear in mind that he was named Croatian Footballer of the Year in 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2014.
Highlighted Team (Leganes):
Leganes are a Spanish football club that have mostly been playing in lower leagues. Los Pepineros play their home games at Batarque (Madrid) and the capacity of the stadium is just 8,138. Leganes secured their promotion to the Spanish La Liga for the first time ever in 2016 and, no doubt, that is considered the club’s biggest success.
Leganes’ bitterest rivals are fellow capital club Getafe and there have always been fireworks when the two teams take on each other in the South Madrid derby.
The colour of the team’s home kit is white and blue, whilst their away kits are green. The likes of Pierre Webo, Samuel Eto’o, Ivan Zarandona, Jose Chamot, Catanha, Ruben Falcon, Jordi Lardin and Pedro Lago are famous players who were part of the Batarque outfit in the past. Lady Maria Victoria Pavon is the first female president in the history of the club and she has been in charge of the club since 2009.
