Villarreal vs Leganes: Preview and Live Broadcast

Villarreal vs Leganes

Spanish La Liga

Date: 17th April 2018, Tuesday.

Kick-off at 18:30 UK/ 19:30 CET

Venue: Estadio de la Ceramica (Villarreal).

Villarreal bagged a precious point in the six pointer for Europe League spots against Sevilla on the weekend. But the manager Javier Calleja is concerned after seeing his team squander a 2 goal lead in the final 12 minutes of the game.

The Yellow Submarine remain 1 point clear-off Sevilla on 7th spot and they need to push hard from here. The like of Girona, Celta Vigo are just 5 points away and they have some hard round of fixtures to finish the season with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Valencia yet to come.
Leganes defeated Celta Vigo 1-0 on the weekend and moved 13 points clear off the removal zone. They must avoid drop from here and I see one more point from remaining six games will keep them above the bottom three come May.
The Legionaries are arguably one of the worst away side in the league having won just 3 games on the road all season. Their last away win was at Malaga on 15th October 2017. They lost 9 and drew 3 since then. So, they are the kind of team that offer no threat to home teams.

Villarreal vs Leganes: Head-to-head

The meetings between these two sides are often competitive. The three La Liga meetings saw 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss.
Earlier this season, Leganes surprised everyone with a 3-1 win over the ficed yellow submarine.
The teams again met in the Copa Del Rey in January and Leganes once again knocked out the team in yellow on away goal rule, 1-0 at home and 2-1 at the Ceramica.
Still, Villarreal are on a three match winning run against Leganes in all competitions, with 2 goals scored in each.
