Recent Form:
Relegation-threatened Leganes host La Liga leaders Barcelona. A massive 39 points separate the two sides in the Liga. The hosts have managed just 2 wins in their last 10 home games, but they’ve shown some attacking spirit, scoring in 7 of those outings. Meanwhile, Barcelona have been in impressive form on the road, winning 9 of their last 10 away matches , scoring an impressive 30 goals along the way.

Leganes Key Player:
Despite their struggles, Los Pepineros have found a bright spark in Dani Raba. The attacker has hit a purple patch, scoring 4 goals in his last 3 appearances—including one against city rivals Real Madrid. Can his recent form help Leganes pull off another surprise?

Barcelona Key Players:
Barcelona’s attacking is as dangerous as ever. Robert Lewandowski leads the line with 25 La Liga goals, while Raphinha has chipped in with 13. However, the standout in recent weeks has been Ferran Torres, who has found the net 3 times in his last 4 games. Is his recent form a worry for Leganes?

For Leganes, every match is now a battle for survival. With relegation looming, any points earned, especially against Barcelona, could prove crucial in the final run-in. A result here would not only boost morale but also send a message to their direct relegation rivals, whilst Barcelona are focused on maintaining their lead at the top. With the title race heating up and Real Madrid breathing down their necks, there’s no room for slip-ups.
