Villarreal are still without centre-back Raul Albiol and winger Ilias Akhomach due to injury, while Kiko Femenia and Thierno Barry are also doubtful due to calf and hamstring problems.

Karl Etta Eyong, despite scoring the decisive goal last weekend in his second La Liga appearance, will likely return to the bench.

Coach Marcelino is likely to make a few changes to refresh the squad, with Alfonso Pedraza and Dani Parejo competing for a starting spot.

On the Leganes side, defenders Borna Barisic and Enric Franquesa continue to be absent long-term due to anterior cruciate ligament injuries.

Javi Hernandez could return to the starting line-up after serving his suspension for picking up enough yellow cards.

Striker Juan Cruz was not used last weekend due to a minor injury and his ability to play in the next match remains uncertain.

Latest football commentary Villarreal vs Leganes

Villarreal are hoping to qualify for the Champions League for the first time since they qualified by winning the 2020-21 Europa League.

After 35 matches, the “Yellow Submarine” has 61 points and is in 5th place – the last place in the Champions League group, just one point behind Athletic Bilbao (4th) and three points ahead of Real Betis (6th).

Coach Marcelino's team is in impressive form with a series of 3 consecutive wins since the 0-3 loss at Celta Vigo on March 23.

They beat Espanyol and Osasuna at home before securing a dramatic 1-0 win away to Girona on Saturday thanks to Karl Etta Eyong's 89th-minute strike.

After their third successive win, Villarreal are aiming for four consecutive La Liga wins – something they achieved when they beat Real Sociedad, Granada, Real Betis and Valencia between February and March 2024.

They have reason to believe that as they have won 5 of their last 6 meetings with Leganes in La Liga, including a resounding 5-2 victory in the first leg in December, where Villarreal twice fell behind but still successfully came back.

Leganes renewed their relegation hopes with a 3-2 home win over Espanyol on Sunday.

Seydouba Cisse opened the scoring before 18-year-old Yan Diomande scored his first La Liga goal to give the hosts a 2-0 lead at half-time.

In the second half, Marash Kumbulla's own goal increased the score to 3-0, but that was the deciding goal when Espanyol scored twice in the 79th and 98th minutes, making Leganes have to work very hard to keep all 3 points.

The win ended a run of eight games without a win. Leganes are now unbeaten in four games (three draws and one win), and are 18th in the table, just one point behind Alaves. They will face Villarreal, Las Palmas and Real Valladolid in their final three games.

Despite having just won their sixth home game of the season, Leganes have been poor away from home, winning just one of their 17 away games in La Liga this season (D9 L7). Their only win was a surprise win over Barcelona in December.

When they travel to the Estadio de la Ceramica next Wednesday, Leganes can take inspiration from the 2-1 win they last won here in March 2020.
