FC Barcelona vs Leganes
Barcelona is scheduled to host Leganes in the last 16 of the Copa del Rey. They are trying to cure a nightmare in La Liga by winning the match. The match at New Field naturally ended with positive results.
On Saturday (1/25) Barcelona were invited to Valencia headquarters to appear on the 21st jornada. However, they had to surrender 2-0 through brace Maximiliano Gomez Gonzalez (48 ‘, 77’). These results also make them have to go down from the top of the La Liga standings, replaced by Real Madrid who won 0-1 at home to Real Valladolid.
Returning to the Nou Camp, hopes to rise were so great because La Masia hasn’t lost since the start of the season with 10 wins and 2 draws, including when they beat Granada 1-0 on Monday (1/20). So tomorrow’s match will be used as an opportunity to get back on the positive track right away.
In the next camp, Leganes is predicted to be an interesting opponent for Barcelona. The reason, they have just draw against Atl Madrid with a score of glasses in the cage Sunday (1/26) yesterday. Aside from stealing one point, this draw also maintains an unbeaten record in away games with 3 wins and 3 draws.
The struggle is still so long for Leganes because it currently landed just above the La Liga caretaker position with just goal difference. Therefore, the achievement on the Copa del Rey stage will be an achievement to be proud of. However, they have to work extra hard to overcome the challenges of Barcelona after last November buried with a score of 1-2 at home, while three trips to Camp Nou surrendered with a score of 2-1, 3-1, and 3-1.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
Odds: 1.53
