On May 14, 2025, Villarreal will host Leganés at the Estadio de la Cerámica in a high-stakes clash on Matchday 36 of LaLiga. With just a few games left in the season, both teams enter the match with very different objectives—Villarreal are pushing for a European qualification spot, while Leganés are fighting to stay in the top flight.
Villarreal, currently sitting 6th in the table, have found momentum at a crucial time with three straight wins. Under the guidance of manager Marcelino, the Yellow Submarine will look to maintain their attacking rhythm despite being hit by a few injuries, including Kiko Femenía, Raúl Albiol, and Álex Baena. The return of veteran midfielder Dani Parejo could prove vital in controlling the tempo.
Leganés, meanwhile, lie just above the relegation zone in 15th place. They come into this game with renewed hope after a narrow but morale-boosting victory over Espanyol. Manager Borja Jiménez is expected to set up a balanced system that can absorb pressure while trying to strike on the counter—possibly with a five-man backline and a four-forward rotation to keep Villarreal’s defense on edge.
Historically, Villarreal have had the upper hand in head-to-head encounters, winning 9 of the 17 previous meetings. However, Leganés have pulled off surprises before, including a memorable 2–1 win at La Cerámica in 2020.
With European dreams on the line for Villarreal and survival at stake for Leganés, this matchup promises drama, intensity, and possibly a few twists as LaLiga’s 2024–25 season nears its conclusion. Kick-off is set for 21:00 local time.
