Real Madrid host form battling Leganes for match day 11 of the 2016/2017 La Liga Santander campaign.
Real Madrid overturns a 1 goal deficit to thrash Alaves 4-1 in their last weekend’s visit to Mendizorrotza stadium. The Blancos have some injury worries since the start of the season, which is a major reason for their slow start. Real Madrid sit top of the Spanish league log with 24 point from 10 games.
The record European champions were held to 3-3 draw in their mid-week Champions League clash with Polish outfit Legia Warsaw. The match has no shortage of drama as Legia fought back from 2 goals down and took the lead with 5 minutes left on the clock, only to concede a late goal.
Leganes suffered a 2-0 home defeat in their match day 10 showdown with Real Sociedad. The Pepineros have now failed to find the net in their last 2 league games, conceding 6 goals in those clashes. They sits bottom of the Spanish league log with 1 point adrift of the relegation waters.
Key Facts
Real Madrid currently enjoys a 10 league games unbeaten run this season, and the Blancos have failed to taste defeat in 25 straight competitive games. Real Madrid has recorded 3 wins in their first 5 home league games played so far this season.
Leganes are currently on a 3 match losing streak. The Pepineros failed to complement their electrifying start into the season after registering 2 wins in their last 8 league games. However, Leganes away form is something we should applaud. The newly promoted side has 3 wins in their first 5 away league games this season.

Real Madrid vs Leganes: Prediction
Real Madrid are scoring goals for fun at the moment. They netted a whopping 14 goals in the last three matches in all competitions.
