Barcelona – Leganes, Copa del Rey Prediction

Barcelona sacked Valverde, but it is unlikely that it has caused the decline in form at all in recent years. Last game we saw a return to reality after the Valencia loss at Mestalla, where the Catalans did not even score. The new coach, Setien, was very disappointed after the match and said that either he did not explain well to the players or they just did not understand him because they played terribly in the 1st half. In home games Barcelona are a completely different team.

Leganes greatly improve their form in defense. In the last 4 games there are 3 clean sheets, but in the one where they did not record one, they conceded 3 goals, and at home from Getafe. Leganes is 3 points out of 17th place, which is the last to qualify for next season’s La Liga, so we definitely don’t expect Leganes to put much effort into Copa del Rey, given that there is so important fight to survive.

 Expert view : We think that we will not see here a reminder of Leganes’ good defensive play in recent games. They will be much more relaxed and make more mistakes. Barcelona have to make it up to the fans once again this season. The Catalans can score a lot at Camp Nou and we hope to show their class now in this match. This is a Cup game, so we do not deny the possibility of the guests to score, so we most certainly trust on Over 2.5 goals in the match at 1.52.
