Leganes and Barcelona meet in a match in the stage with the number 14 in La Liga. The confrontation will be played on Saturday, not before 12:00 pm, on Estadio Municipal de Butarque.
With only one success this season, Leganes does not even show safety on his own ground, where they have only four points in seven games (one win and one draw). The victory against Mallorca (1-0) was the only match this season in which Javier Aguirre’s team did not receive a goal.
Currently, Barcelona is very close to the maximum level, with Luis Suarez returning after injury. Even though it occupies the first position in the standings, the Catalans have not impressed in the trips of this season, having a negative balance, with two victories, a draw and three defeats. In the previous stage, Barcelona prevailed on their own field in front of Celta Vigo, with a score of 4-1, duel in which Lionel Messi managed a triple.
-Six times the two teams have met in La Liga, the balance being five victories for Catalans and one for Leganes;
-In the previous move from this field, Barcelona gave up with a score of 1-2;
-In five of the six direct confrontations there were goals scored by both sides;
Probable teams
Leganes: Cuellar – Siovas, Bustinza, Omeruo – Rosales, Mesa, Rivera, Silva – Rodriguez – En-Nesyri, Braithwite;
Absent: Alexander Szymanowski, Marc Navarro (injured), Recio, Kevin Rodrigues (suspended), Christian Rivera, Ruben Perez (uncertain);
Barcelona: Ter Stegen – Wague, Pique, Lenglet, Firpo – Jong, Busquets, Arthur – Messi, Suarez, Griezmann;
Absent: Jordi Alba, Nelson Semedo (injured), Sergi Roberto (suspended);
Barcelona is not allowed to miss the three points in this trip, considering that it evolves on the field of “red lantern”. We count on the success of the guests, but also on a game in which the Catalans score at least two goals.
PREDICTION: Barcelona to win @ 1,45
