Villarreal has three consecutive wins and is approaching its goal - qualifying for the Champions League. There is a possibility to secure this even after this round with a new victory. Its only home losses were all from teams at the top of the standings - Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Betis. Still, it has more wins away, but now it also has two consecutive wins at home.
Leganes remembered what victory is after eight games without one and beat Espanyol 3:2 at home on Sunday. This way, it kept its chances for salvation. It is still in the relegation zone, but it is one point closer to the safety line. Most of Leganes' away games ended in a draw, but on the other hand, it has only achieved one away win so far.
Prediction: Villarreal to win and over 1.5 goalsBoth teams have something to chase, but it is logical to favor Villarreal here, who is on the verge of returning to the Champions League, and with its upcoming visit to Barcelona over the weekend, it is good to win now against the underdog Leganes.
