On social media, there are a considerable number of figures who always give much to talk about. Obviously, one of the most controversial journalists in all of Spain is Julio Maldonado, better known as Maldini. On this occasion, he has decided to give his predictions regarding the upcoming Copa del Rey matchday, where Madrid faces Leganés.

As always, this type of matchup generates many expectations from the journalist, and he has decided to give his result for this encounter. He considers that Real Madrid is, in itself, the favorite for this match and that what he categorizes as the "Butarque hell" won't be enough. He places Real Madrid as the winner of the match with a 75% chance of taking the game.

This, clearly, for many is a very good gesture on the part of the journalist, recognizing that Madrid is superior. However, there is a sector that knows him very well and knows that this can even be a bad sign.

The match against Leganés is one of the most exciting due to what the Butarque team has achieved in recent games. They have managed to make their way through all the phases they have been able to play from the first round until reaching the quarterfinals against the whites.

The match will surely be one of the most interesting exhibitions at the Leganés stadium, where they will seek victory. However, for Maldini, Real Madrid's offensive strength is infinitely superior to that of Leganés.

Additionally, he also comments that they will try certain experiments before facing Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League. For this reason, he places the white team as the winner, which indeed has all the odds in its favor. Although it must be remembered that the Copa del Rey always ends up giving surprises, and at least two fans hope it won't be so.

It will be a great match

Leganés has shown to be a team that can fight matches, even against the most complicated and quality-filled teams. For this reason, the white team has to be careful, even if it is a minor team, as they can surprise them at any moment.
