With all the problems they have this season, most of us expected Leganes to come away from the Bernabeu with something when these teams met in the first leg of this game last weekend.
However, Leganes may have underrated Madrid and they were well beaten 3-0 by the European champions. Ahead of this game, Leganes would feel that the first leg scoreline has left them with nothing to fight for.
They were very poor in the first leg as they offered little going forward and also were a shambles defensively, if they perform that poorly in this game as well, they would probably suffer the same fate.
They had just 3 shots on target in that game and came out of it having conceded 3 goals. You can say that all the confidence they had before that game was lost during the game itself.
Leganes are not a team that gives up easily and when they have played at home, they have been at their best as they have lost just once in their home in the league this season.
Real Madrid have won each of their last four matches against Leganes. When the pair met in the first leg just a week ago, Madrid won by three goals to nil. Since they first met back in 2013, the pair have faced each other ten times. Leganes have won once.
