La Liga returned last week and we will have a very interesting game when FC Barcelona hosts CD Leganes on Tuesday. There were many safety protocols in place, just like the Bundesliga had.

For example, La Liga games were played behind closed doors and each team had five substitutions. The competition resumes after it was postponed on March 12th because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

FC Barcelona leads Real Madrid for first place by two points while CD Leganes is in 19th place with 23 points in 29 games, fighting to avoid relegation. This is a must-win contest for both teams. FC Barcelona is coming off a 4-0 road win against Real Mallorca on Saturday while CD Leganes lost 2-1 at home against Real Valladolid last Saturday.

Let’s take a closer look at where the value is at in this matchup.
