Real Madrid will face 13th-placed Leganes at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque in Leganes tonight as the visitors look to reduce the gap between themselves and city rivals Atletico Madrid. Los Blancos, who have a game in hand, are currently five points and a place adrift of second-placed Atletico.
9 points off the drop zone with 7 matches remaining, Leganes look all good to better their 17th-place finish last season and continue another season in La Liga. They are also unbeaten in the last three league matches with two victories and a draw.
Los Blancos are yet to reach top form under Zinedine Zidane, despite winning four of their last five matches under the Frenchman.
