- How “Villarreal” is coming. Marcelino’s men arrive in Butarqui with a long list of absentees, as usual this season, joined this week by Ayoze Perez, thus losing their top scorer and preferred striker of the season. After failing to win for five days in a row, “Villarreal” aims to break this streak until the end of the year. To this end, Marcelino restores the importance of Femenia, Parejo and, above all, Alex Baena.
- The fight of the match. Oscar vs. Baena. Two football players who put all their talent at the service of the team. Two key players for both Borja Jimenez and Marcelino, all of La Liga’s and Villarreal’s attacking football comes from his boots.
- Jaime Rincón’s prediction. “Leganes” 1-1 “Villareal”. Different moods. “Lega” and “Villarreal” go to the fight with opposite goals. The Pepineros are looking to add points after the win in Barcelona and the Yellows to win again after a poor run.
