Barcelona haven’t had things all their own way in La Liga in recent weeks, as their advantage at the summit has diminished to just two points.

The Catalonian giants have won just once across their last five, which has enabled Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid to close the gap at the top.

However, Hansi Flick’s side will be overwhelming favorites to re-establish their lead at the summit on Sunday.

Leganes sit at the opposite end of the standings after winning just once across their last five. The visitors have suffered defeats in two of their previous three, leaving them just two points above the drop zone.

Unsurprisingly, Barcelona boast an excellent record against Leganes in La Liga. The Catalonian club have won seven of the eight league meetings between the sides, with the only win for Leganes over that period coming on home soil in September 2018.

Barcelona vs. Leganes Prediction

A similar pattern could emerge this weekend against a Barcelona side that will have many of their top players back in action. A home win looks like an extremely safe angle.
