FC Barcelona v Leganes - LaLiga EA Sports - Source: Getty — Barcelona take on Leganes this weekend

The 2024-25 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Leganes lock horns with Hansi Flick's Barcelona side in an important encounter at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque on Saturday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.

Leganes vs Barcelona Preview

Barcelona are at the top of the La Liga standings and have been in excellent form so far this season. The Blaugrana thrashed Borussia Dortmund by a comprehensive 4-0 scoreline in the UEFA Champions League in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar scoreline this weekend.

Leganes, on the other hand, are in 18th place in the league table and have struggled this season. The home side played out a 1-1 draw against Osasuna last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.

Leganes vs Barcelona Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Barcelona have an excellent recent record against Leganes and have won eight out of the 10 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Leganes' paltry two victories.
Leganes have lost seven of their nine matches against Barcelona in La Liga but did win their most recent such game against the Catalan giants by a 1-0 scoreline in December last year.
Barcelona have won three of their last four matches away from home against Leganes in La Liga, with their only such defeat during this period coming by a 5-1 scoreline in 2016.
Leganes won the reverse fixture by a 1-0 scoreline last year and could become only the fifth newly-promoted side in the history of the competition to complete a La Liga double against Barcelona.

Leganes vs Barcelona Prediction

Barcelona have an excellent squad at their disposal and are in stellar form. The Catalan giants were prolific against Borussia Dortmund in their previous game and will look to make the most of their purple patch this weekend.

Leganes have struggled this season but are capable of pulling off an upset on their day. Barcelona are the better team, however, and should be able to win this match.

During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.

Aditya is a semi-professional pianist and likes to participate in concerts and recitals when not immersed in football.
