Villarreal CF vs CD Leganes Prediction 14 May 2025

Villarreal, sitting comfortably in fifth place with 61 points and a 61:47 goal difference, have found strong late-season form. They come into this match on the back of three consecutive wins over Espanyol (1:0), Osasuna (4:2), and Girona (1:0), solidifying their push for European competition. However, their form was less consistent in mid-April, dropping points in a 2:2 draw with Real Sociedad and suffering a 0:3 loss to Celta.

Leganés, meanwhile, are fighting for survival and currently sit 18th with 34 points and a goal difference of 35:53. Despite their precarious position, their recent performances show signs of resilience. After a narrow 0:1 loss to Barcelona, they’ve held their own with draws against Mallorca (0:0), Girona (1:1), and Sevilla (2:2), before pulling off a crucial 3:2 win over Espanyol.

While Villarreal are clear favorites, Leganés’ recent grit suggests this could be a more balanced affair than the table implies. With both sides highly motivated — Villarreal chasing Europe and Leganés battling relegation — a competitive match is likely. Leganés might not have the firepower to dominate, but they could certainly hold their own for large stretches, especially if they keep it tight in the first half.
