Leganes

Leganes continue their fight for survival in La Liga and have shown flashes of resilience, especially at home. Despite being winless in their last four matches, they've shown they can compete with the top sides — as they proved with a shock win over Barcelona earlier this season. However, that remains a rare high point in an otherwise challenging campaign.

Their recent draw against Osasuna, earned through a late penalty, showed grit, but the team continues to struggle with consistency. Their performances at Butarque have been more solid than their away form, yet they face a huge task here against a Barcelona side in ruthless form. Defensive discipline and compact play will be key, but whether they can contain the Catalan giants a second time this season remains to be seen.

Barcelona

Barcelona are flying high at the moment. A crushing 4-0 win over Dortmund in midweek all but sealed their progression to the Champions League semi-finals and extended their impressive unbeaten streak across all competitions. With La Liga still very much in their sights, they’ll be eager to avoid another slip-up against Leganes and put in a clinical performance to protect their lead at the top.

Hansi Flick’s men are full of confidence, especially away from home where they’ve been scoring goals for fun. With a balanced side, solid defence, and lethal front line, Barça look far more mature and consistent compared to earlier in the season. The reverse loss against Leganes will still sting, and you can expect a focused, no-nonsense approach this time around.

The Betting Verdict

Barcelona are in top gear and unlikely to take any chances against a side that embarrassed them earlier this season. Given the stakes in both domestic and European competitions, a professional and focused display is expected.

Leganes will probably adopt a cautious approach, hoping to frustrate Barca and maybe hit on the counter. However, their limited attacking power and Barcelona's strong recent form on the road suggest that they’ll find it tough to get on the scoresheet.

The Pick :

Leganes 0-2 Barcelona
