Leganes vs Villarreal Prediction & Betting tips
It is no secret to anyone that the process of the game will be tactical and fought in the midfield. For this reason and knowing that the “pepineros” are difficult to overcome in Butarque, we believe that an equality is the most interesting result to bet. Remember that the “Yellow Submarine” knows how to get away from the Madrigal, demonstrating it by equaling 0-0 against Sevilla in the Sánchez Pizjuán. Paint to be a game in which the local brand is imposed on the good football of the visitor (clash of football styles).
Leganés:
The “pepineros” do not go well to this duel after losing 4-1 to Real Madrid at the Bernabéu (1-1 draw in the initial stage). The team played well in the initial stage, but lost control in the first 20 ‘minutes of the second half. It is enough to know that he gave 3 goals to corroborate this statement. These days, he has 1 point in the table, product of a draw and 2 falls. The main objective of the squad is to improve defensively, since it has yielded 8 goals in 3 league appearances (2 against Athletic Bilbao, 2 against Real Sociedad and 4 against Real Madrid).
As a local in Butarque, Leganés already played a match in the competition and the result was acceptable for their interests (draw 2-2 against Real Sociedad after losing 0-2 the initial stage). For this game it is expected that the technician Pellegrino take his precautions, as it will collide against a well-dressed and well-worked opponent in all aspects of the game. Therefore, it should not surprise us that the “pepineros” appeal to the brand and the tactical order to neutralize their rival. The logic indicates that they risk at times, trying to take advantage of some punctual play to score. Of course, the stopped ball will be essential for them to try to win at this opportunity.
Villarreal:
The “Yellow Submarine” does not go well to this duel after losing 0-1 against Girona in the Madrigal and add his third match without winning in the competition (1 draw and 2 falls in total). With 1 point in the general table, the objective of the team is to be more balanced between the lines, since it is defending poorly. It is enough to know that he gives up many situations of goal to corroborate this affirmation. Of course, in spite of everything, it is still a nice and offensive eleven thanks to the work of his coach.
As a visitor, Villarreal already played a match in this Santander League, which was positive for their league aspirations (0-0 draw against Sevilla in the Sánchez Pizjuán). If we analyze the performance of the team in that exit, we can conclude that it knows what it plays, despite some defensive shortcomings. It is enough to know that it generated some situations of goal and that he handled the ball to corroborate this affirmation. For this presentation it is expected that technician Javi Calleja maintain the 4-3-1-2 system that he has been using regularly, which allows his boys to be competitive in their actions.
In the last 2 years, Leganés and Villarreal have faced each other 4 times in Butarque. These were the results of those matches: Victory 3-2 in August of 2016 for a friendly club, draw 0-0 in December 2016, victory 3-1 of Leganés in December 2017 and win 1-0 of Leganés in January of 2018 for the Copa del Rey. Apparently, the box “pepinero” has become strong in its stadium, showing it by adding 3 wins and 1 draw against the “Yellow Submarine”.
