Barcelona look for three points at home against Leganes in La Liga
Kick-off : 8:45 PM (Local)
Venue : Camp Nou, Barcelona
Barcelona will be pretty confident going into this game as they come on the back of a comprehensive 4-1 win over Roma in the Champions League. They would like to carry on the form.
Barcelona by the way had a perfect season so far and are on their way to winning the La Liga and also the Copa del Rey. They can go on further and win the Champions League as well.
The Blaugrana are currently leading the points table with 76 points from 30 games. They are nine points clear of 2nd placed Atletico Madrid.
On the other hand, Leganes have had a mixed season so far and are 13th in the points table after 30 games with 36 points. They know they face a sterner test against Barcelona away.
So far Barcelona and Leganes have played each other 3 times with Barcelona winning on every occasion. They will once again be favorites on Saturday night.
Team news and possible line-ups
Diego Rico will not be available for Leganes for the weekend game as due to suspension. While Martin Mantovani and Joseba Zaldua are both doubts.
As for Barcelona, Sergio Busquets will be unavailable as due to injury. While Paulinho is available and will likely play.
Leganes XI : Cuellar, Bustinza, Munoz, Siovas, Garcia, Gabriel, Gumbau, Eraso, El Zahr, Beauvue, Ramos.
Barcelona XI : Ter Stegen, Semedo, Pique, Umtiti, Alba, Dembele, Paulinho, Rakitic, Coutinho, Messi, Suarez.
Prediction
I don’t see Barca having any problems winning this game. They are on top of La Liga and they should make easy work of mid table team Leganes. I think they will win 2-0.
