Villarreal Faces Leganés in Critical LaLiga Clash

Villarreal, Spain – Villarreal will face Leganés on May 14, 2025, in a crucial LaLiga match that could impact both teams’ futures. The game is set to kick off at 7:00 PM local time at La Cerámica Stadium.

Villarreal is currently fifth in the league standings with 61 points, while Leganés sits 18th, close to relegation, with 34 points. Villarreal comes into this match on a winning streak, having recently defeated Girona, and a win today could solidify their Champions League hopes.

“This is a do-or-die match for us,” said Leganés coach Borja Jiménez. His team narrowly escaped defeat in their last outing against Espanyol, winning 3-2, and they will need similar energy against Villarreal. The pepineros are just one point behind Alavés and need a win today to boost their survival chances.

For Villarreal, missing players Femenía and Barry due to injury is a setback, but they are hopeful for a solid performance from key players like Ayoze Pérez, who has scored 16 goals in the league.

In their previous encounters, Villarreal has dominated with six wins over Leganés’s two, indicating a strong historical advantage. The teams are both under significant pressure, with Villarreal seeking European competition and Leganés fighting for survival.

“We know it won’t be easy, but we are determined to secure our spot in the Champions League,” Villarreal coach Marcelino stated. The match promises to be intense, as the former champions clash with a desperate team hoping for a miracle.
