Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the La Liga match.
Villarreal are 3 points ahead of Real Betis. Now Villarreal have to beat Leganés to keep this lead. However, their opponents are not going to give up easily as they still have chances to remain in La Liga.
Villarreal
Three consecutive wins have reminded that Villarreal are confident now. Since the beginning of 2025, the side has had 29.27 xG in their 17 La Liga games. Only Real Madrid (42.49) and Barcelona (43.55) have a better record. They beat Girona on Saturday (1:0), with 2.18 xG against 0.18. However, they managed to win only thanks to a late goal scored by Eyong. This was only the 13th La Liga game of Villarreal with less than 2.5 goals scored.
Leganés
The side hasn’t lost their last four games. They even managed to take points versus Sevilla (2:2) and Espanyol (3:2). Leganés are close to Deportivo Alavés already, with only 1 point behind the 17th place. The game on Wednesday is very important for Leganés now.
Villarreal vs Leganés Prediction
At the end of 2024, the sides had a game with a lot of goals scored (5:2). Both teams will tend to play offensively again. So at least 3 goals are expected to be scored in this match.
