Villarreal vs Leganes

Leganes continue their fight for survival and travel to Villarreal for a midweek Spanish La Liga fixture.
 
The visitors are shown some fight lately but remain unconvincing on their recent travels. The hosts are pushing for a top five finish and come into this clash in good form, should have the upper hand, with Ayoze Perez set to play a pivotal role.
 

Villarreal Form


Villarreal are inching ever closer to a return to the UEFA Champions League as they currently sit fifth in the table, three points off the chasing pack. They have been in good form lately and are unbeaten in seven of their last eight matches, claiming five wins in that run. 

Things have been particularly smooth for Villarreal lately, having won their last three matches, including a 1-0 victory at Girona in their previous fixture. Marcelino’s team have also claimed two straight home wins, beating Osasuna 4-2 last time out in front of their fans.

Perez has been the standout player for Villarreal, with 16 goals this season and leads an attack that has scored in seven of the last nine La Liga matches. However, they are without a clean sheet in six fixtures in that run, all of which have produced over 2.5 goals.

Leganes Form


Leganes were also victorious last time out in La Liga, claiming a hard fought 3-2 home victory over Espanyol. They raced to a three-goal lead through Seydouba Cisse, Yan Diomande and a Marash Kumbulla own-goal, and had to hold on following a late blitz from the visitors.
 
That was a vital result for Leganes as it ended a run of eight matches without a win and moved them one point from safety. However, their away form still needs some work having failed to win in their last eight La Liga matches in the road. 

As evidenced by the win over Espanyol, Leganes are showing some attacking quality lately, scoring in eight of their last 10 matches. However, they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in eight matches in that run while three of their last four away fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals. 

Head to Head


Villarreal are the superior side in this fixture and have won six of the last seven matches against Leganes. The hosts claimed a 5-2 away victory in the reverse fixture back in December.

Verdict

Villarreal are full of confidence at the moment, winning their last three matches while Leganes are without a victory in eight straight away fixtures. Having claimed a win and over 2.5 goals in five of the last seven meetings, a repeat is expected here.

There is attacking quality on display here and with both teams scoring in three of the last four matches a similar outcome is on the cards. Perez remains the focal point of Villarreal’s attack and is expected to find the net here having scored eight five times in the last eight matches.
