Recent form

Leganés

Leganés have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches. Despite their 15th position in the league, they have managed to secure some impressive results, including a notable 1-0 away victory against Barcelona in their most recent outing. However, their goal-scoring record remains a concern, with only 0.83 goals scored per game on average. Defensively, Leganés have struggled, conceding 1.5 goals per game and keeping only two clean sheets in this period. The team's matches have been evenly split between low-scoring affairs and more open encounters, with 50% of games seeing under 2.5 goals. A standout statistic is that both teams have scored in only 33% of these matches, indicating that Leganés' games often end with at least one side failing to find the net.

Villarreal CF

Villarreal CF are experiencing a concerning dip in form, having failed to secure a victory in their last six matches across all competitions. The Yellow Submarine have drawn three and lost three during this period, with their most recent win dating back to over six games ago. Notably, they have been struggling defensively, conceding in each of their last six encounters and failing to keep a clean sheet. Their goal difference of -4 over this stretch highlights their defensive woes, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game. Despite their 6th place position in La Liga, Villarreal's recent form is a cause for concern, particularly their unexpected Copa del Rey exit to lower-league Pontevedra. The team's attacking output has also dwindled, scoring just one goal in each of their last four matches. However, their ability to find the net in 67% of these games suggests they still pose an offensive threat, even if their finishing has been inconsistent.

Recent home/away form

Leganés

Leganés' recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the team experiencing both highs and lows. The Pepineros enjoyed a solid run of three consecutive victories, including an impressive 3-0 win over RC Celta and a friendly triumph against Real Valladolid. However, their form has taken a downturn in their last two matches, suffering heavy 3-0 defeats to both Real Sociedad and Real Madrid. Despite these recent setbacks, Leganés have shown they can be formidable at home, keeping three clean sheets in their last six games. The team's goal-scoring has been somewhat inconsistent, with 67% of their matches seeing over 2.5 goals, yet they've also had two goalless outings. Interestingly, both teams have scored in only 17% of these fixtures, highlighting Leganés' tendency towards one-sided results, whether in victory or defeat.

Villarreal CF

Villarreal CF's recent away form has been inconsistent, with a concerning trend of two consecutive losses in their most recent outings. The Yellow Submarine have struggled to keep clean sheets, conceding in all six of their last away matches. Their most impressive performance came in the Copa del Rey against Poblense, where they netted an impressive six goals, showcasing their attacking potential. However, this high-scoring affair seems to be an outlier, as their other matches have been relatively low-scoring. Villarreal have shown resilience in some fixtures, managing a 2-2 draw against Osasuna and securing a 2-1 victory over Real Valladolid in La Liga. Despite their mixed results, Villarreal have maintained a respectable 6th position in the league, indicating that their home form may be compensating for their inconsistent away performances.
