Copa del Rey, quarter-final, Wednesday, 05/02/2025 at 9:00 p.m.
It’s cup time this week – and not just in Germany! In Spain, the Copa del Rey is entering the quarterfinals, and of course, Real Madrid cannot afford to be knocked out. But be careful: the royal family had to swallow a defeat in the league recently.
On Wednesday, however, they will be taking on a team from their own league. In my Leganes Real Madrid betting tip, I will therefore reveal why the royals will be up for grabs and why I am betting on “under 3.5 goals”.
0-1 at Espanyol Barcelona? How did that happen! Real Madrid made a mistake in the league a few days ago. Their rival Atletico Madrid immediately took the reins and is now just one point behind.
If you take a look at our La Liga master bets, you will see: the Colconeros are not really seen as a competitor. Nevertheless, the royals have to be careful, because the championship is firmly in the plan.
Speaking of champions and titles, a very important one will also be awarded on February 9. The Super Bowl is coming up, one of the biggest sporting events in the world! So it’s about time for you to check out our latest predictions.
The dominance of almost 80 percent possession of the ball did not yield anything for the Madrilenians, with 21:5 shots also showing the tendency in only one direction. After the defeat, a corresponding reaction must now follow, because there are only a few days left before the CL duel against Manchester City.

Six of the seven games Real have not won this season have been played away from home – this is important in that the Copa del Rey quarter-final will now also be played away from home.
The reigning Spanish champions are lucky to still be in the cup at all. In the last sixteen against Celta Vigo, they squandered a 2-0 lead, suddenly trailing 2-2 and needing to go into extra time.
There, the favorites turned it up, secured a 5:2 and if the addition “after extra time” would not have been there, everything would have looked like a befitting result. For the sake of completeness, it should be said: in the opening game of the Copa, Madrid defeated Minera 5:0.
It is interesting, of course, that I pulled this fact from the league data: the record winner of the Champions League has only been behind at half-time twice, only against Valencia (they won in the end) and Las Palmas (a draw) was that the case.
Since you were leading in the cup after the first 45 minutes, you can also consider this tip for Wednesday. After successful Betano registration, you can get odds of 1.93 here.
Real Madrid and Leganes last faced each other in the league at the end of November, when the favorites collected a 3-0 win. The Whites have only lost two of 15 direct duels, but these two games were in the Copa!
Six years ago, Leganes won 1-0, but were still knocked out due to the 0-3 first-leg defeat. And indeed, I realize: Real have not been able to win their last three games at Leganes (2-2, 1-1, 0-1)!
Nevertheless, our Apple Pay betting providers are clear: there can only be one winner on Wednesday. The guests are ahead with average odds of 1.44 to 7.00, so nothing should go wrong.
Leganes is just avoiding relegation in the league. After three consecutive unbeaten games, this streak unfortunately ended with a 1-0 defeat to Rayo Vallecano a few days ago.
Three goals in these four games? No, there was nothing spectacular here. The capital city club has two completely different faces, which is particularly evident when I look at the domestic results.
0-1, 1-0, 2-5, 0-3, 0-3, 1-0 – this excerpt alone shows that there can be a lot or very few goals. Only twice, and this is definitely striking, have both teams scored at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque.
This is the first time in the Copa that Leganes have played at home. 2-1 at Ciudad Lucena, 7-6 on penalties against Estepona, 2-1 against Cartagena and 3-2 against Almeria, the previous results were all quite close.
Interesting: Three times it was 1-1 at half-time, and once Leganes were 1-0 down. Incidentally, this is only the second time in the club’s history that the team has reached the Copa quarter-finals.
In 2017/18, they even made it to the last four. Who did they knock out in the previous round? That’s right: Real Madrid!
Real Madrid vs Leganes – it sounds like an easy game. Of course, there is no question that the “Royals” are head and shoulders above their next opponent, but they were actually also in the 0-1 defeat against Espanyol.
Leganes may be among the relegation candidates and currently score hardly any goals, but at least they have not lost in three home games against Real. And: in 2017/18, they knocked the big favorites out of the cup.
I can therefore well imagine that we will be dealing with a relatively close game. Since Real couldn’t score at all against Espanyol, I decided on the following tip:
The 3.5 goals will not be exceeded!
