La Liga match between FC Barcelona and Leganés is anticipated to be a compelling encounter, particularly given Barcelona's current standing in the league. As of December 2024, Barcelona leads La Liga with an impressive offensive record of 50 goals in just 17 matches . However, their recent form has been inconsistent, characterized by only one victory in their last five league fixtures. In contrast, Leganés is situated precariously at 17th place with three wins amidst six draws and seven losses.
Barça come into this one looking to improve on their league form after dropping points in four of their last five matches, including a shocking loss to a Las Palmas team that came into that game in a similar scenario to this weekend’s opponents: a struggling team fighting against relegation and looking for a famous result in Catalonia.
At one point leading 2-0 and managing to equalize after Rodrygo scored to make it 3-2, however, Rayo did Barca a huge favor by holding the reigning champions to a thrilling 3-3 draw.
Atletico Madrid in six days, Barca can therefore go four points clear with a win over Leganes.
"Leganes is tomorrow and we are not thinking about Atletico," Flick said, when asked about rotations to rest players for Diego Simeone's side at a prematch press conference on Saturday.

Los Blancos dropped points against Rayo Vallecano last night and a win tonight will thus help Barcelona pull four points clear. Should they beat Atletico Madrid next week, they will also have the chance to establish a gap with Los Rojiblancos.
Predictions for the match suggest a likely victory for Barcelona, with Sportskeeda forecasting a scoreline of 4-1 in favor of the home team. This prediction aligns with historical performance; Barcelona has won eight out of their last nine encounters against Leganés. Key players expected to impact the game include Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, both central to Barcelona’s attacking strategy .
In terms of lineup predictions, it is anticipated that Ronald Araujo will return from injury to bolster the defense alongside other prominent players like Casado and Pedri . Although specific details regarding free online streaming options are not provided in these analyses, fans can expect an engaging match as Barcelona seeks to solidify its position at the top of La Liga.
