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.
