Barcelona v Leganes Betting Tips: Can Barca continue their title march?

Odds and preview for tonight’s La Liga fixture

Match Odds

In their first match back at the Nou Camp following the return of football, Barcelona are the clear favourites to win at 1/5.

Leganes are fighting for their lives and they’re going at 16/1 to snatch a shock victory, while the draw is 11/2.

Despite Barca’s short odds, they only managed a 2-1 win in the reverse fixture back in November and they’re 17/2 to repeat that feat.

Lionel Messi has enjoyed another remarkable campaign, with 20 goals so far in La Liga, and he returned in style with a goal and two assists at the weekend. The Argentinian is 15/8 to open the scoring and 17/2 to net his fourth hat-trick of the season.

After more than three months since their last match, Barcelona returned in emphatic style on Saturday as they thrashed Real Mallorca 4-0 in their own back yard.

Perhaps the enforced break was a blessing in disguise for the Catalan side. A cagey Champions League draw at Napoli followed by defeat to Real Madrid threatened to derail their season as they were knocked off top spot.

Yet their blushes were spared as they limped to a win over Real Sociedad, regaining top spot after Real were stunned at Real Betis.

And after recharging their batteries, Barca took no prisoners at Mallorca. As is tradition, Messi was the star of the show and he’ll need to maintain his renewed form in order to guide his side to their fourth title in five years.
