Barcelona v Leganes Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

After a hard fought 2-2 draw at Sevilla last weekend kept their unbeaten run going, Barcelona return to the Camp Nou on Saturday night to face Leganes in La Liga.

Barca thrashed Roma 4-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday night, so they will be in high spirits as they chase the first ever unbeaten 38-game season in Spain's top flight.

For extra motivation, the Blaugrana can reach 38 games without loss if they avoid defeat here - a run that would match Real Sociedad's national record from 1979/80.

The Madrid outfit head to Catalonia 15 points above the relegation places - making them all but safe - and allowing them to play with freedom in a stadium where last term they nearly pulled off a big shock.

Barcelona needed an injury time winner to beat Leganes 2-1 at home last term and dabblebet price them at 2/15 (1.13) to record another win.

The visitors meanwhile are priced at 22/1 (23.00) to claim their first ever triumph over the Blaugrana, while the draw can be backed at 7/1 (8.00).

Team news

Ernesto Valverde has no major injury concerns, although he may chose to make a few changes given Barca's trip to Rome in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Leganes have top scorer from last season Alexander Szymanowski missing for the rest of the season.

Midfielder Darko Brasanac missed last week's defeat by Valencia but could return, while captain Martin Mantovani remains a doubt after also missing that clash.

Leganes to struggle in front of goal

That Leganes are safe from relegation is thanks to their defensive solidity rather than their attacking prowess.

Los Pepineros have managed just ten goals in 15 matches on the road this term and are unlikely to add to that at the Camp Nou, where Barcelona have conceded just six times this season.

Tips and predictions

Barca to win to nil is priced at 8/15 (1.53), although more appealing is the price of 9/10 (1.90) for Valverde's side to win with a -2 handicap.

This bet paid out when the teams met earlier this season in Madrid and looks a good way of backing the hosts on Saturday.
