Real Madrid v Leganes Preview
Real Madrid were boosted by the return of striker Karim Benzema as a second half substitute in the 7-1 demolition of Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday. Zinedine Zidane has a decision to make on whether to start him here or stick with Mayoral up top.
Sergio Ramos has not featured in 2018 so far but he is not likely to be risked in this contest. It is expected that Zinedine Zidane will field a similar 11 to the first leg, when they won 1-0 thanks to Marco Asensio’s volley. Kiko Casilla will play in goal as he has done for the other cup games.
Real Madrid (4-3-3): Casilla; Carvajal, Varane, Vallejo, Hernandez; Llorente, Kovacic, Ceballos; Vazquez, Asensio, Mayoral
Leganes (4-3-3): Cuellar; Zaldua, Siovas, Santos, Garcia; Eraso, Perez, Pires; Zhar, Beauvue, Amrabat

Real Madrid v Leganes Prediction
Los Blancos needed a last minute winner in the first leg against Leganes but when the goal did come it was certainly waiting for. The cross came in from the left from Theo Hernandez and it was volleyed home spectacularly by Marco Asensio.
Real will be full of confidence after the fantastic 7-1 win over Deportivo La Coruna at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday and they go into the second leg of this tie as overwhelming favourites to reach the semi-final of the Copa Del Rey. With La Liga possibly out of reach now, the Copa Del Rey could be the best chance of winning a trophy.
