After delivering another winner in midweek, SlipsTips is back with a Bet Builder ahead of Leganes' clash with Barcelona in La Liga on Saturday night.
Leganes vs Barcelona (Saturday, 20:00)
Two teams with very different priorities meet in La Liga on Saturday night, as Leganes and Barcelona do battle at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque.
Borja Jimenez’s hosts are currently residing in the relegation zone despite picking up a point via a 1-1 draw when going up against Osasuna last weekend.
As for Barcelona, they moved four points clear of arch-rivals Real Madrid at the top of the table despite being held to a 1-1 draw at home by Real Betis last Saturday night.
Barcelona Win
While Barcelona saw their nine-game winning run in La Liga come to an end last weekend, a trip to relegation-threatened Leganes on Saturday night looks like an ideal opportunity to get their title charge back on track. Los Pepineros have won just one of their last 10 matches in La Liga, falling to defeat in six of those contests. It’s also worth pointing out that Jimenez’s strugglers have posted just one clean sheet across their last nine outings in the Spanish top flight, which doesn’t augur well ahead of a visit from star-studded Barcelona.
Hansi Flick’s side were back to their free-flowing best when brilliantly dismantling Borussia Dortmund 4-0 in the Champions League in midweek. That dominant display will give Flick the option of fielding an understrength side in Germany next midweek, meaning he could prioritise this weekend’s clash with Leganes. On top of all that, the Catalan giants will be keen to exact revenge for their shock 1-0 defeat in December’s reverse fixture.
Robert Lewandowski to Score Anytime
For the second and final leg of what is a Bet Builder double, look for Robert Lewandowski to score anytime on Saturday night. The Barcelona ace currently leads the La Liga goalscoring leaderboard with 25 goals across his 29 appearances to date. What’s more, the Polish sharpshooter has also plundered in 15 goals outwith the Spanish top flight this term, including 11 strikes across his 11 appearances in this season’s Champions League, most recently bagging a brace against former club Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday night.
Given that this Bet Builder would have proven profitable 16 of Barcelona’s 21 La Liga victories this season – including eight of their last nine – siding with the same formula on Saturday night at odds-against looks too big to ignore.
