Leganes will hope to complete a season double against Barcelona as the sides meet in La Liga matchday 31 fixture on Saturday. This match between the 18th-placed Los Pepineros and La Liga leaders Barcelona comes with our prediction of over 2.5 goals.
Ahead of this weekend’s fixtures, Leganes are two points behind safety. Barcelona’s 67 points put them four points ahead of Real Madrid in the race for the La Liga title.
Leganes drew 1-1 at home against Osasuna last week, ending a three-game losing sequence but extending their winless sequence. Their poor scoring record seems to work against them, as Leganes have scored just 29 goals, with only Real Valladolid scoring fewer.
The record at home isn’t any great, as Leganes lost three and drew two of their six recent matches at this venue.
Barcelona defeated Borussia Dortmund 4-0 on Wednesday in the Champions League quarter-final first leg. That has given them a great chance to qualify for the semis and not be too worried about the upcoming second leg.
The Catalans wouldn’t want to drop more points in the league after doing so in a 1-1 home draw against Betis last week. It came on the back of nine consecutive league wins, which included three straight victories on the road.
