What is the form of Leganes compared to Barcelona?
Leganes' form isn’t great. They are winless in their last three games, picking up a point in their most recent fixture against Real Sociedad while losing the two before that. A 1-0 win over Mallorca is their only win in their last 14 matches in all competitions.
As for Barcelona, they have won their last two games, despite their most recent victory being a club friendly. However, it wasn’t long ago when the Blaugrana lost 3-1 to Levante before suffering a goalless draw at home to Slavia Praha in the Champions League to sound the alarms surrounding their crisis. Nonetheless, those were the only two times the Catalan gianst have failed to win in their last 11 matches in all competitions.
Leganes vs Barcelona head-to-head record
Since Leganes were only promoted to the Spanish Primera Division in 2016/17, these two sides do not have a long history of facing off. They have crossed paths only six times before and while the Blaugrana boast the superior head-to-head record and understandably so, Barcelona lost their last trip to the Estadio Municipal de Butarque.
