FC Barcelona and Leganes meet in a match from the 29th round of La Liga. The confrontation will be played on Tuesday, from 21:00, on Camp Nou, without spectators.
Quique Setien’s players seemed to be unaffected by the break of more than three months of inactivity. They prevailed with a definite 4-0 on the field of Mallorca, a duel in which the hosts had several opportunities to score and three times more corners.
The penultimate ranked in La Liga showed an equally modest game at the resumption of the season. Leganes lost on their own field in front of Valladolid, with the score of 1-2. Thus, the guests in this duel remain at three points of the first position that ensures the maintenance in the first league in Spain.
The best offensive in La Liga (67 goals scored) will make its head in this game as well. With only 22 goals scored (the most modest offensive in the league), it is hard to believe that Leganes will put problems for the Catalans on the defensive phase. We rely on a success achieved by the hosts at a difference of at least two goals.
