Barcelona will take on Leganes on Thursday in 2019/20 Copa del Rey round-of-16 game as the tournament moves ahead. Barca start this game as the favourites.

Kick-off : 7:00 PM (Local)

Venue : Camp Nou, Barcelona

Barcelona suffered their first loss under Quique Setien at the weekend. They will now eye success in the Copa del Rey.

Barca overcame Ibiza in the round-of-32 clash as they have to now play Leganes in the round-of-16.

It’s a clear cut must win game for the new boss and in front of supportive home crowd Barca are destined to succeed.

Quique will have to play his best XI as his tactics are in question. He need to prove everybody wrong and play Barca way which is possession football.

On the other hand, Leganes are struggling in La Liga and pushing themselves in the Copa del Rey is what they will have to do.

Leganes overcame Ebro in the round-of-32. And now Barcelona away awaits for them.

Leganes know that Barcelona are not going to give it away to them and they will have to outplay them.

Javier Aguirre’s tactics will only be known during the match but I think they should be defensively solid and try to trouble Barca defensively.

Team news and possible lineups

Leganes have no fresh injury concerns ahead of the Barca game.

As for Barcelona, Neto and Ousmane Dembele are both doubts.

Leganes XI : Cuellar, Rosales, Tarin, Siovas, Awaziem, Silva, Perez, Recio, Oscar, Rodrigues, Braithwaite.

Barcelona XI : Ter Stegen, Semedo, Ronald, Lenglet, Ansu Fati, Vidal, De Jong, Rakitic, Firpo, Messi, Griezmann.

Prediction

Expect Barcelona to dominate this game and end up winning 3-0. The goals might come from Messi, Antoine Griezmann and Arturo Vidal.
