The absence of midfielder Jude Bellingham and striker Kylian Mbappe is the main story in this first game, manager Carlo Ancelotti said ESPN on Tuesday. The moneyline has dropped from its opening position of minus-305 to its current position at -185 heading into match day, but the team still starts as a strong favorite to win and advance. These players join an increasing number of Madrid players sidelined by injuries. With their 15-4-3 league record and 49 points, Madrid leads the Spanish La Liga standings at the moment. After losing 5-2 to Barcelona in the 2025 Spanish Supercopa final last month, Real Madrid’s five-match winning streak was just ended on Saturday when they lost 1-0 to Espanyol.
With 23 points and a 5-8-9 season record, Legans is far down the pack in 16th position in the La Liga rankings heading into the week. When the two teams faced off earlier in the league season, Real Madrid won 3-0 on November 24. However, Mbappe’s goal in the 43rd minute and Bellingham’s goal in the 85th were major contributors to Madrid’s triumph.
On ESPN+, which costs $11.99 a month, Real Madrid and Legan’s will kick off at 3 p.m. ET.
