Villarreal welcome Leganes to the Estadio de la Ceramica on Wednesday, 14 May 2025, in a clash that could define the season for both sides. Villarreal, currently 5th in LaLiga, are pushing for European qualification, while Leganes, sitting 18th, are fighting to escape the relegation zone. The stakes couldn’t be higher, with Villarreal’s recent form (W W W L D) showcasing their momentum, while Leganes’ struggles (W D D D L) underline the urgency of their plight.
The Yellow Submarine’s home advantage could prove decisive, as they average 2.1 goals per game on home soil and boast a +14 goal difference. Ayoze Perez, with 16 goals this season, remains their key attacking threat and will be crucial in breaking down Leganes’ defence. By contrast, Leganes have managed just 1.27 goals per game on the road and carry a worrying -18 goal difference. Their inability to score consistently, particularly in the latter stages of matches, only adds to the challenge as they face a Villarreal side known for early dominance.
History favours Villarreal, who have won four of the last five meetings between the sides and lost just once in their last 18 encounters. At home, their record is even more commanding, with six victories in the last eight matches against Leganes. The visitors, meanwhile, are winless in their last seven away games, further stacking the odds against them. With an average of 3.4 goals scored in matches between these teams, supporters can anticipate an entertaining, high-scoring contest.

Villarreal vs Leganes Betting Predictions
Primary bet: Home Win @ 3/10
Villarreal’s impressive home record and historical superiority over Leganes make backing the home win a strong option. Villarreal have triumphed in 6 of their last 8 home fixtures against Leganes and are currently enjoying a 3-match winning streak in LaLiga. Meanwhile, Leganes are struggling, having failed to secure a victory in their last 8 matches, 7 of which were away. With Villarreal averaging 2.1 goals per match at home compared to Leganes’ modest 1.27 on the road, the 3/10 odds for a home win offer solid value, reflecting the clear gulf in form and performance between the two sides.
Secondary bet: Over 2.5 Goals @ 8/13
The secondary bet on over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both teams’ scoring patterns and defensive frailties. Previous meetings between Villarreal and Leganes have averaged 3.4 goals per match, with Villarreal alone contributing an average of 2.4 goals in these encounters. Additionally, both sides have displayed defensive inconsistencies of late, further increasing the likelihood of a high-scoring affair. At 8/13, this wager aligns with the statistical trends and Villarreal’s attacking strength, making it an excellent complement to the primary bet.
