Will Flick’s team get revenge for the first leg?
In the wake of a late fall, FC Barcelona lost the first leg against CD Leganés, among other things. Meanwhile, the 1-0 defeat to the Madrid suburbians has long since been erased from the record books, after FCB has not lost any of its 23 competitive games in 2025 (19 wins, four draws). However, there is still a score to settle. Basically, the tip for Leganés against Barcelona is that the Catalans will now settle this score, and there is also no alternative.
Most recently, Barca flexed its muscles twice in quick succession. They defeated Atlético Madrid 1-0 away from home to advance to the Copa del Rey final, before beating Borussia Dortmund 4-0 to advance to the Champions League semi-finals. The fact that not much can go wrong against BVB also has an impact on our Leganés vs. Barcelona prediction. After all, Hansi Flick doesn’t have too much reason to rotate. The key players are needed for the safe La Liga win rather than for the upcoming away game at Signal Iduna Park.
Despite the 1-0 first-leg victory at FCB, Lega is now in the relegation battle head over heels. The Madrid suburbians have only picked up 28 points from 30 league games and occupy the first relegation place. Although they are only two points behind the safety line, which is currently defended by Deportivo Alavés. However, the Pepineros would now need a minor football miracle to end the Blaugrana’s long winless streak. For their part, Borja Jiménez’s men have not won in four La Liga games (one draw, three defeats).
Leganés – Statistics & current form
As champions of La Liga 2, Club Deportivo Leganés naturally had high hopes of being able to establish themselves in the top flight of Spanish football again. After 30 of 38 matchdays, however, they have missed the target. With 28 points, the Pepineros are in a direct relegation place. They are two points behind the safety line. So the situation is far from hopeless, although the recent negative streak needs to end soon.
The blue-and-whites have only picked up one point out of a possible twelve from their last four La Liga games (one draw, three defeats). In total, they have only won one of their last ten league games (three draws, six defeats). A season in which there have been notable successes, such as the two 1-0 victories in the first leg in Barcelona and at home against Atlético Madrid, threatens to end in a bitter way as things stand.
Leganés’ home record is still quite acceptable
But Lega’s home record is not completely hopeless. The Pepineros have won five of their 15 La Liga home games so far in 2024/25, which means they are at least in a non-relegation position in the home table. Nevertheless, Borja Jiménez’s side are the clear outsiders in their own stadium against the league leaders, who are currently in a league of their own, which is of course also due to the fact that they have lost eight of their previous ten competitive games against Barca (two wins).
At NEO.bet, where new customers can choose between two different bonuses with the current NEO.bet bonus, the odds for Leganés against Barcelona are currently 9.00 for a home win for Leganés. No wonder, because on the one hand, the defense of the Madrid suburb has already conceded 47 goals from 30 league games and, on the other hand, the offense has repeatedly lacked penetration. The only 29 goals scored are only undercut by bottom-placed Real Valladolid (19) in the league.
Barcelona – Statistics & current form
In theory, FC Barcelona could make history this summer by winning the treble. In La Liga, they have a four-point lead over Real Madrid with eight matchdays remaining. They will also face the Blancos for a title in the Copa del Rey final on April 26, 2025. And then there is also the Champions League, in which Hansi Flick’s Blaugrana put on a show of strength on Wednesday evening, sending Borussia Dortmund home with a 4-0 victory.
The tip for Leganés against Barcelona is under a correspondingly good star for the away win of the Catalans, who were surprisingly beaten 0-1 in the first leg at home.
Barcelona is the absolute measure of all things, especially offensively.
Last Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Real Betis showed that Hansi Flick’s team are not infallible. However, Real Madrid were unable to take advantage of this in the race for the championship, which should give the Blaugrana all the more impetus. An away win in the Madrid suburb would put a lot of pressure on the Blancos, who would then have to follow up with a win away at Alavés the next day.
Although there are three La Liga teams – Atlético Madrid, Athletic Bilbao (24 each) and Getafe (25) – that have conceded fewer goals than FC Barcelona (29), the incredible 83 goals in 30 La Liga games are unrivaled and an absolute top value in the league. It could be just as clear with a little rotation, but there is actually no need for that. To capitalize on the 4-0 win against BVB in the Signal Iduna Park and advance to the Champions League semi-finals, it should be enough with an increasingly empty hospital with a lot of quality in the depth, while also protecting superstars like Lewandowski or Yamal.
Leganés – Barcelona Head to head / H2H record
Head to head: 2 – 0 – 8
Only ten competitive matches have taken place between the two teams so far, and as expected, FC Barcelona lead the direct comparison with eight wins. In the first leg, however, the Blaugrana had to admit defeat to CD Leganés in their very first home game. The final score at the Olímpic Lluís Companys on December 15, 2024 was a surprising 0-1 from the Catalans’ point of view.
Leganés – Barcelona Tip
The betting odds of the top bookmakers are clearly and unequivocally in favor of the guests at Leganés against Barcelona, who have not lost any of their 23 competitive matches to date (19 wins, four draws) and beat Borussia Dortmund 4-0 during the week. Although FCB surprisingly lost the first leg against Lega (0-1), they now have one more reason to get revenge against the Madrid suburbians. A win would also bring the Catalans one step closer to the hoped-for league title.
In view of the fact that the Pepineros are in a relegation place and have again remained winless in four league games in a row (one draw, three defeats), it could even be a very clear result. We therefore recommend the handicap victory forecast for the Blaugrana in Leganés against Barcelona.
Merkur Bets are offering odds of 1.91 for Barca to win by at least two goals at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque, which we cautiously take up with three out of ten units.
