Real Madrid will look to bounce back from their recent loss as they travel to Leganes for a place in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey. This match at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque on Wednesday comes with our prediction of over 2.5 goals.

This is a single-leg match, and the winner goes directly into the semi-finals. Leganes has already bested their second-round finish last year in the Copa del Rey and is looking to make it to the last four since 2017/18. Madrid is a 10-time champion and is looking to make it to the semis after a round of 16 exit last year.

Leganes lost 1-0 at home to Rayo Vallecano at the weekend, a result that ended their five-game unbeaten sequence. The hosts still remain closer to the bottom three, so ensuring survival could take prominence.

This will be the first home game of this year’s campaign for Leganes, having won the previous four matches on the ground. Madrid lost 1-0 to Espanyol last weekend, a result breaking their five-game winning sequence.

The tricky aspect for the visitors is the schedule of upcoming matches, as Atletico Madrid and Manchester City are likely to keep them distracted here.
