Villarreal CF vs Leganés

Current streaks

Recent form

Villarreal CF

Villarreal CF are enjoying a strong run of form, having won their last three matches and four of their last six in La Liga. The Yellow Submarine have climbed to 5th position in the league table, demonstrating their resilience and attacking prowess. Their recent 4-2 victory over Osasuna was particularly high-scoring, contributing to an impressive tally of 10 goals in their last six games. Defensively, Villarreal have shown improvement, keeping two clean sheets in this period. The team's ability to score consistently is evident, with both teams finding the net in 50% of these matches. Notably, Villarreal have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite a minor setback in their 3-0 loss to RC Celta, Villarreal have bounced back strongly, showcasing their determination to secure a European spot for next season.

Leganés

Leganés are currently in a precarious position, sitting 18th in the league with 34 points from 35 games. Their recent form has been characterised by a series of draws, with four in their last six matches. The team have shown resilience in defence, conceding just 1.17 goals per game over this period, which is mirrored by their attacking output of 1.17 goals scored per game. Their most recent match, a 3-2 victory over RCD Espanyol, broke a five-game winless streak and was notably high-scoring compared to their recent encounters. Interestingly, 67% of Leganés' last six matches have seen both teams score, while the same percentage have featured under 2.5 goals, suggesting tight, competitive affairs. The team's ability to grind out draws could be crucial in their fight against relegation, but they'll need to convert more of these into wins to climb out of the bottom three.

Recent home/away form

Villarreal CF

Villarreal CF have shown mixed form at home in their recent fixtures, with a noticeable improvement in their last two matches. The Yellow Submarine have secured back-to-back victories in their most recent home games, including a high-scoring 4-2 win against Osasuna. Prior to this upturn, they experienced a run of three consecutive draws at home, demonstrating resilience but lacking the cutting edge to secure maximum points. Defensively, Villarreal have been relatively solid, conceding an average of 1.17 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets in their last six home matches. Their goal-scoring record has been somewhat inconsistent, with an average of 1.5 goals per game, but the recent 4-2 victory suggests potential for more prolific performances. Interestingly, both teams have scored in two-thirds of these matches, indicating entertaining encounters for the home fans.

Leganés

Leganés have been struggling away from home, enduring a concerning four-match losing streak before managing two consecutive draws in their most recent away fixtures. Their defensive woes are evident, conceding an average of two goals per game in their last six away matches, with only one clean sheet during this period. The team's goal-scoring form has been particularly poor, netting just five times in these six games, averaging less than a goal per match. Notably, 67% of their away games have seen over 2.5 goals, largely due to their defensive frailties rather than their attacking prowess. Their highest-scoring away game came in a 3-2 defeat to Real Madrid, which, despite the loss, showcased their ability to find the net against top opposition. However, with no wins in their last six away matches and their current 18th position in the league, Leganés are clearly struggling to find form on the road.
