Villarreal vs Leganes Prediction & Betting tips
Saturday afternoon, Villarreal and Leganes cross the dunes in Madrigal. It promises to be an interesting duel, because both teams still need the points this season.
Villarreal :
With 54 points and a fifth place, Villarreal still has the best papers for one of the probably three available Europa League tickets, but with six more rounds, it is still blowing up for the team of coach Fran Escriba. Last week the yellow shirts surprised with a 2-1 defeat by middle engine Alaves. “We missed the sharpness and were not aggressive enough. With our first half there were submarines, “said Sansone. “In the second half we managed to recover, but unfortunately, the equalizer remained.”
That lack of scoring ability is nothing new, because with 46 goals in 32 games Villarreal has been struggling all the time to make it all the time. The good news is that Soldado attacker returns this week after a suspension. He will form the attack duo together with Bakambu, although the latter still does not have the right shape yet. Where the strong Congolese last season was good for twelve league matches, he now only scored six goals. The fact that the midfield made almost as many goals as the attack says of course. The strength of this Villarreal is especially in the back because, with only 26 opponents, only Atletico Madrid makes it even better. Yet Villarreal only managed to keep her goal clean in her last five duels. First goalkeeper Asenjo is no longer in action due to injury injury this season and second choice Andres is obviously of a lower level.
Probable setup Villarreal
Andres; Costa, Alvaro Gonzalez, Musacchio, Mario; Roberto Soriano, Trigueros, Bruno Soriano, Jonathan Dos Santos; Soldado, Bakambu
Leganes :
With five points ahead of the degradation zone, Leganes is still on track for subsistence, but with six more games, anything can happen. The Madrids have gained a lot of experience in recent years, since since the appointment of coach Asier Garitano in the 2013-2014 season, there was always something at stake (twice possible promotion and once possible degradation). In all these times Los Pepineros came out as a winner. The coach is convinced that his team will succeed in her mission this season: “Prior to this season, no one gave a cue for our chances, but look at what we are now. We’re working to break us, but we’re safe to play. ”
In view of the field play, Leganes seems to be hard on its way to preserving its life, but in view of its current form, it keeps pounding in the Butarque. Last week, the blue whites went to their own public for injured injunctions against Espanyol (0-1), which again meant the third defeat in a row. Asier Garitano said: “We were the main party and made the most of the victory. That you’re in the game so late in the ship is very sour. ” Again, the lack of scoring ability was the main cause of this defeat. Among other things, El Zhar and Szymanowski got some great opportunities but did not get the ball in the basket. A chronic problem, because for nothing, Leganes with only 26 goals is the lowest scoring team of the entire Primera Division.
Probable setup of Leganes
Herrerin; Diego Rico, Siovas, Mantovani, Tito; Ruben Perez, Erik Moran; Szymanowski, Gabriel, El Zhar; Guerrero
