Prediction: 3-0
Leganes
Real Madrid will look to put an extra pressure on league leaders Barcelona when they welcome Leganes to their Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday evening. Los Blancos face a must-win situation in this local derby and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Borja Jimenez’s men. Both Antonio Rudiger and Vinicius Junior should be recalled to the starting XI, while the likes of Ferland Mendy, Dani Ceballos, Eder Militao, and Dani Carvajal remain in the recovery room.
Leganes, meanwhile, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 loss to Real Betis. Given the importance of Saturday’s clash for Real Madrid, we do not believe that the underdogs are capable of claiming a major scalp at “Santiago Bernabeu”. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team, but defender Enric Franquesa remains on the sidelines. In their last meeting at the venue, Real Madrid rolled over Leganes 5-0.
Highlighted Player (Kylian Mbappé):
Kylian Mbappe is a French footballer who plays for Paris Saint-Germain as a forward. The French rising star began his youth career at AS Bondy and in 2013 he moved to AS Monaco. After making 12 appearances for Monaco B, Kylian Mbappe made his debut for the senior team in 2015. Mbappe quickly established himself as a regular goalscorer, with the teenager finding the net 15 times in 29 appearances in the Ligue 1 in the 2016/2017 season.
In 2017 he moved to fellow French club PSG on loan, with the option of making the deal permanent. Kylian Mbappe scored 13 goals in 27 appearances for les Parisiens in the 2017/2018 and it has to be noted that Unai Emery’s troops eventually won the national championship.
Speaking of his international career, Mbappe played an important role for France at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals, with the pacey rising star scoring a brace in a thrilling 4-3 win over Argentina in the last 16 of the showpiece tournament. The PSG attacker was born in Paris on December 20, 1998.
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.
