What has been Leganés and Real Madrid's form ahead of this match?

Leganés enters this match having drawn three of their last five games. Their last match ended with a 1-0 win against Huesca, which gave them some breathing space in their battle to avoid relegation.

This will be Real Madrid's fifth game in 2019, and Solari's men have won their last two clashes with flair. After their win against Los Pepineros, Real Madrid went to Betis' stadium to beat Los Verdiblancos with a 2-1 score. That game saw them climb to the fourth spot in La Liga, tied at 33 points with Sevilla.

What do Leganés and Real Madrid need to make it to the next round in the Copa del Rey?

Leganés needs to beat Real Madrid with a four-goal margin if they want to make it to the Quarter final stage. If Real Madrid manages to score one goal, then Leganés would need to score five since the away goal rule is in effect.

Real Madrid can afford to lose 2-0 and they would still make it to the next round. A 3-0 win for Leganés would send the game into extra time and if the aggregate keeps level, penalties would be used to determine the winner.
