Villarreal vs Leganés Preview and Team News
Villarreal Team News
Villarreal defeated Girona 1-0 thanks to a goal from substitute Etta Eyong, a key victory in the race for the Champions League. Although the squad dominated the match, they struggled to find the goal as Ayoze Pérez came close to the net on several occasions.
A major change in the game had been the role of playmaker Alejandro Baena, who traditionally operated from the wide midfield. Marcelino deployed him in a more central position. This resulted in increased chances created as Baena became more involved in possession. However, it wasn’t until the 89th minute that Villarreal claimed the lead.

Baena has been linked with a move away from La Cerámica. Atlético de Madrid are believed to be considering him for a Summer transfer. However, no offer has been presented on the table to date. Baena has not addressed the rumours, instead insisting that “only the Champions League matters now”. Villarreal are 5th in La Liga, three points ahead of Real Betis.
Ilias Akhomach, Raúl Albiol, and Thierno Barry will be sidelined due to injuries. Kiko is awaiting medical clearance.

Leganés Team News
Leganés secured an important 3-2 victory against Espanyol, a key win to maximise chances of avoiding relegation. This makes it their only success in their last five matches, having drawn the three games before the encounters against Espanyol.
The team dominated the first half, scoring twice before half-time. The second half was held predominantly by Espanyol, but Kumbulla’s own goal secured a 3-2 victory for Leganés. This win is especially impressive considering the rivals have been among the most in-form sides since the Christmas break.

Leganés had not won a La Liga match in two months, with their previous defeat back in March when they secured a 1-0 score against Getafe. The visitors are now 18th with 34 points, in the relegation zone, but only one point separates them from 17th-placed Deportivo Alavés.
Borna Barišić and Enric Franquesa are out with injuries.

Bet hereVillarreal vs Leganés Prediction
- Prediction: Villarreal to win
- Odds: 1.315 (22Bet)
- Score Prediction: Villarreal 2-0 Leganés
Leganés might have secured their first victory in two months, but their lack of defensive prowess could cost them the game against Villarreal at the Cerámica. The home squad suffered but defeated Girona, and witnessed a playmaking masterclass by Alejandro Baena.
The guests have fought well against top-tier clubs in La Liga, but don’t have an impressive record against the top 3, making an upset unlikely on Wednesday. The hosts are fighting for the Champions League and are unlikely to give away cheap points.
Leganés’ defence have struggled in recent weeks, making it possible for Villarreal attackers to outscore them.
Villarreal vs Leganés Betting Tip
- Pick: Ayoze Pérez to score
- Odds: 2.05 (22Bet)
Although Ayoze Pérez did not score against Girona, he came close to it. He could be considered (with Baena) Villarreal’s most important forward, primarily due to his involvement in the penalty box. He may not match Mbappé, but he has regularly demonstrated that he’s a dangerous striker in the final third.
