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 a crucial encounter at the Montjuic on Sunday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will be determined to win this game.

Barcelona vs Leganes Preview

Leganes are in 17th place in the La Liga standings and have struggled this season. The away side slumped to a damaging 3-0 defeat at the hands of Real Sociedad last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.

Barcelona, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table and have been in excellent form this season. The Catalan giants edged Borussia Dortmund to a 3-2 victory in the UEFA Champions League in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
