Ahead of Sunday’s La Liga clash between Leganes and Real Madrid, Sports Mole looks at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two clubs.
Real Madrid will be aiming to make it successive victories in La Liga when they resume their campaign with a clash against Leganes on Sunday evening.
Los Blancos entered the November international break off the back of a 4-0 win over Osasuna, with the result leaving them second in the La Liga table, six points behind the leaders Barcelona.
Leganes, meanwhile, have picked up 14 points from their opening 13 matches of the campaign, which has left them in 14th spot, and the hosts will enter this clash off the back of a 1-0 win over Sevilla.
Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides ahead of what is shaping up to be an intriguing meeting at Estadio Municipal de Butarque.
Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 14
Leganes wins: 2
Draws: 2
Real Madrid wins: 10
This is a fixture that has only been played on 14 occasions throughout history, and Real Madrid lead the head-to-head record, boasting 10 victories to Leganes’ two, while there have also been two draws.
Sergio Ramos and Karim Benzema are actually the joint-highest goalscorers in this fixture, with the pair scoring five times for Real Madrid against Leganes during their time with the kings of European football.
Leganes actually average more than one goal per game against Real Madrid, having netted 15 times against them, while Los Blancos have found the back of the net on 35 occasions in this particular fixture.
The last meeting between the two sides came in July 2020, with the points being shared in a 2-2 draw, but Real Madrid won the reverse fixture 5-0 at Bernabeu in the first half of the 2019-20 La Liga campaign.
Leganes’ first-ever win over Real Madrid proved to be a 2-1 success in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey back in January 2018, with Los Blancos incredibly being knocked out of the competition due to the away goals rule, while they also beat the capital outfit 1-0 in the Copa del Rey in January 2019, although El Lega still exited the competition on aggregate.
The reigning Segunda Division champions will go in search of their first-ever league win over Real Madrid this weekend, having lost six and drawn two of their previous eight fixtures with Los Blancos in the top flight.
Leganes’ two draws with Real Madrid have actually come in their last two meetings in front of their own supporters, which should certainly hand them confidence ahead of Sunday’s contest.
