Barcelona look for three points away against Leganes
Kick-off : 4:15 PM (Local)
Venue : Estadio Municipal de Butarque, Leganes
Barcelona are currently leading the points table and are on 31 points. But they need to keep winning games to remain on top.
On the other hand, Leganes have had a flying start to the season until suffering back to back defeats to Sevilla and Valencia just before the November international break.
Leganes have been defending really well this season but against Barcelona they will be tested. They have the third fewest goals in La Liga, conceding just eight.
So far Barcelona and Leganes have played each other two times with the Blaugrana winning both of the games.
But it should be a good game on Saturday as both teams will give their all.
Team news and possible line-ups
Ruben Perez have returned from suspension for Leaganes and will likely start tomorrow replacing Darko Brasanac.
Leganes boss have to choose between Diego Rico and Raul Garcia in defense.
As for Barcelona, Andres Iniesta is available and will play against Leganes. But Andre Gomes is unavailable for tomorrow’s game.
The front line should consist of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Paco Alcacer.
Leganes XI : Cuellar, Tito, Bustinza, Mantovani, R. Garcia, Moran, R. Perez, Gumbau, Gabriel, Kone, Beauvue.
Barcelona XI : Ter Stegen, Semedo, Umtiti, Pique, Alba, Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta, Alcacer, Messi, Suarez.
Prediction
While it’s not a given that Barcelona will win tomorrows game, they certainly are the favorites. I expect Barca to do the job and get a win tomorrow. The scoreline could be 3-1. The goalscorers might be Leo Messi, Luis Suarez and Paco Alcacer for Barca and Kone for Leganes.
