Leganes, Recent FormLeganés will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 away win against Ponferradina. Their share of possession in that meeting was 36%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to Ponferradina, who had 13 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Having scored just 2 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Imanol Idiákez where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table, although he will still have one eye on his defence which have shipped 10 in the same period. Despite winning their last league game there have been some concerning signs recently, with them having failed to score in 4 of their last 6, so the fans will be hoping they have turned a corner. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
Leganés will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form at The Estadio Municipal de Butarque, they've lost their last 3 league games in a row there and not had a home win in 4 games.
Villarreal B, Recent FormThe Villarreal B squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 home defeat against Málaga, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 54% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Málaga's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 5 and seen valuable points lost. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 4 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
The previous match between these two ended without a goal and a share of the spoils, so it wasn't one to remember on that occasion.
With only José Josema (COVID-19) and Jorge Sáenz (Physical discomfort) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Imanol Idiákez will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Villarreal B manager Miguel Álvarez has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
