Real Madrid-Leganés: Where to Watch Tonight's League Match

Both teams meet to play their match corresponding to Matchday 29 of LaLiga EA Sports

Real Madrid and Leganés Will Face Off Tonight to Play the LaLiga Match of the 29th Round. Both teams arrive in completely different dynamics, given what happened in the matches before the international break.  Real Madrid is experiencing good moments in the top domestic competition, although they can't neglect the fight for the leadership against FC Barcelona: they are three points behind the blaugrana.

Carlo Ancelotti Will Recover Almost All His Players, except for the long-term injured ones, for this match at Santiago Bernabéu. Some foresee certain rotations in the starting eleven of the Reggiolo coach due to the injury of Thibaut Courtois and the immediacy of the return leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals. The clash against Real Sociedad would mark the tactical decisions of the Madrid technical staff for the match against the 'pepinera' discipline.

Besides the Belgian goalkeeper, injured during his return to his national team, Carlo Ancelotti will not have Dani Ceballos, Éder Militao, and Dani Carvajal. Those three footballers are still working on their recoveries, while the presence in the squad of Ferland Mendy remains uncertain... judging by the words of the Italian strategist himself in the press conference before this match. 

Real Madrid Has Emerged Victorious in Both Matches, held in Butarque, that both teams have played to date. The first leg match of LaLiga was clearly dominated by the white team, who won 0-3 on that occasion. The quarterfinal clash of the Copa del Rey was close to going into extra time:  Gonzalo García's goal avoided the extra-time and set the final 2-3.

Borja Jiménez, meanwhile, knows he won't be able to include Borna Barišić or Enric Franquesa in the squad for this match. The Leganés coach has no more injured players and enjoys full availability of all his footballers, including those drafted with their respective national teams during the international break.

The 'pepineros' footballers urgently need to earn the three points in this challenging visit to Santiago Bernabéu. The defeat against Real Betis in Butarque, prior to the March international break, has placed them at the top of the relegation zone. With 27 points, Borja Jiménez's pupils could surpass teams like Alavés, Valencia, or Espanyol to stay one more season in the First Division.
