Barcelona vs Leganes Prediction & Betting tips
FC Barcelona should have been able to breathe a sigh of relief during the draw for the Copa del Rey round of 16, even though no one in the club would have admitted it publicly. After all, the big, proud FC Barcelona is not afraid of anyone, let alone a lower-class club.
However, you will be happy about the home game, because the Blaugrana has a hard time abroad, no matter who. This was shown by all the guest appearances in the league and this even made the third-round duel in the copa at UD Ibiza – a club from the third league – clear. On the holiday island in the Mediterranean, Barça still got ahead with an ach and noise after an underground appearance and an interim deficit due to two goals by Antoine Griezmann in the last ten minutes.
The Catalans feel all the more comfortable at Camp Nou. No wonder that the odds speak a clear language in the cup match between Barcelona and Leganes.
Barcelona:
At home, the Catalans are a power. Since November 2018, Barça has not suffered a bankruptcy at Camp Nou (then a 3: 4 in the league against Betis), this season they are still undefeated across all competitions (11/2/0). It also goes against Leganes, who are not only penultimate in La Liga, but are still waiting for their first win abroad.
Therefore, it is worth taking a look at the Over / Under betting odds before the Barcelona vs Leganes game, because many goals are possible. After all, Barça wants to rehabilitate himself for the away defeat of the weekend in Valencia, to shoot the frustration off his soul.
The week was not exactly a pleasant one for Barça. Ibiza shook until the injury time, Valencia lost not only the game but also the league lead, with the new coach Quique Setién losing for the first time in the third game. “There are still a few things that the players don’t interpret well or that we may not have explained to them well enough,” said Setien after the game self-critically.
Barça started again with the unfamiliar triple chain and had noticeable problems in this system. There was a lack of automatisms and the right room layout – things that Setién also took note of and addressed: “As far as our position play is concerned, we have to improve a few things. An important part of our job is to be well positioned to prevent counterattacks. ”
That didn’t really work against Valencia. Will things go better against Leganes? Will Barça be able to get into a frenzy here, as is often the case at Camp Nou? Anyone who believes in Barcelona vs. Leganes recommended the tip to consider handicap betting.
Leganes:
Leganes is still relegated in the league, but the shape curve of the Pepineros clearly shows up after the change of coach. Leganes is much harder to beat under Mexican Javier Aguirre, who took over the club just outside Madrid in early November.
In nine league games under Aguirre’s leadership, the record looks quite remarkable (two wins / four draws / three defeats); especially when you look at the opponents against which Leganes had to compete in such a short time: there were guest appearances with the top teams Real Sociedad, Sevilla and Atletico, plus a home game against FC Barcelona, which was only very unfortunate and lost after a lead (1: 2).
Leganes is tough and unruly, which clearly corresponds to Aguirre’s handwriting, an old trainer warhorse with plenty of experience. All of these top teams found it incredibly difficult to create or even score goals against the Pepineros. Atletico Madrid last bit their teeth at the 0-0 weekend at home in Wanda Metropolitano.
Therefore worthwhile at Barcelona vs. Legally a look at the odds for the Half Time / Full Time. The quotations for a tie / Barcelona bet have their appeal.
