There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Barcelona leading Leganés by 35 points.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Barcelona form and stats

This stadium, Camp Nou, has been a fortress for Barcelona in the La Liga so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 13-1-0. After failing to beat Real Madrid here at Camp Nou, Barcelona has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with six wins in a row.

Barcelona's previous game was a La Liga match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Real Sociedad (placed 6th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as Barcelona lost 0-2 at Real Madrid's place.

With more than three goals on average, the attacking play of Barcelona is on fire here. A stunning 45 from 14 league matches. From these home matches, Barcelona have conceded only 12 goals.

Leganés form and stats

Leganés have only collected 8 points from their away games in the La Liga, after 1-5-7 (13 played).

It's the second away game in a row for Leganés, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Villarreal (placed 8th) in the La Liga last time out. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Deportivo Alaves.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Leganés as they have only managed to score 8 times from 13 away games in the league. Leganés have conceded 20 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Barcelona and Leganés have met before this season: Leganés - Barcelona 1-2. Head-2-head stats last eight meetings: seven - zero - one (Barcelona wins - draws - Leganés wins). As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), zero had two or less.
