Current streaks

Recent form

Real Madrid

Real Madrid have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with four wins and two losses in their last six matches across all competitions. The team have been involved in several close encounters, with five of their last six games being decided by a single goal margin. Despite their second-place position in La Liga, Los Blancos have struggled to keep clean sheets, with only one in their last six outings and a current streak of five games without one. Their attacking prowess has been consistent, scoring in every match, albeit at a moderate rate of 1.33 goals per game. Interestingly, 67% of their recent matches have seen both teams score, and the same percentage have featured over 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency for entertaining, high-scoring affairs. The team's ability to bounce back from defeats is noteworthy, as they have not suffered consecutive losses in this period, alternating between wins and losses in their last four matches.

Leganés

Leganés are currently struggling in 18th position in La Liga, with their recent form showing a concerning trend. The Madrid-based club have lost four of their last six matches, including their most recent two outings against Real Betis and RC Celta. Their defensive frailties are evident, conceding an average of 2.17 goals per game over this period, while only managing to keep one clean sheet. Notably, two-thirds of their recent matches have seen over 2.5 goals, highlighting the team's involvement in high-scoring affairs. The 3-3 draw against Deportivo Alavés stands out as a particularly exciting encounter. Despite these challenges, Leganés did manage to secure a narrow 1-0 victory against local rivals Getafe, offering a glimmer of hope amidst their struggles. However, with only one win in six matches and a negative goal difference of -6, Leganés will need to improve significantly to climb out of the relegation zone.

Recent home/away form

Real Madrid

Real Madrid have been in impressive form at home, boasting a five-match winning streak across all competitions. The Bernabéu has proven to be a fortress, with Los Blancos scoring an average of 2.5 goals per game whilst conceding less than one. Their recent 5-1 thrashing of Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair. Notably, both teams have scored in 83% of these matches, suggesting exciting encounters for the fans. Real Madrid's attacking prowess is evident, with over 2.5 goals being scored in two-thirds of their recent home games. Despite their strong offensive output, they've managed only one clean sheet in this run, indicating potential defensive vulnerabilities that opponents might look to exploit.

Leganés

Leganés have been struggling in their recent away fixtures, experiencing a concerning run of three consecutive losses in La Liga. Their away form has been poor, with only one win in their last six away matches, which came in a high-scoring Copa del Rey encounter against Almeria (2-3). The team's defensive frailties are evident, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game on the road, while their attacking output remains low at just 0.83 goals scored per match. Notably, Leganés have managed only one clean sheet in their last six away games, a goalless draw against Athletic Club. Their recent away performances have contributed to their precarious league position, sitting 18th with just 27 points from 28 games. The 3-0 defeat to Real Sociedad stands out as a particularly heavy loss, highlighting the challenges Leganés face when playing away from home.
