đ Team News: Villarreal
There arenât many personnel worries, with just the sole fitness concern for the Villarreal manager Marcelino GarcĂa Toral to be concerned with due to a largely intact group of players. Ilias Akhomach (Cruciate ligament injury) wonât play.
In all likelihood, El Submarino Amarillo look set to employ a 4-4-2 system in the match with Luiz JĂșnior, Pau Navarro, Juan Foyth, Logan Costa, Sergi Cardona, YĂ©remi Pino, Pape Gueye, Santi Comesaña, Alejandro Baena, Nicolas Pepe and Ayoze Perez.
đ Team News: LeganĂ©s
LeganĂ©s manager Borja JimĂ©nez has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Enric Franquesa (Cruciate ligament injury) and Borna Barisic (Cruciate ligament tear) canât be considered.
Itâs our belief that LeganĂ©s appear most likely to begin the game with a 3-4-2-1 lineup, starting the game with Marko Dmitrovic, Valentin Rosier, Renato Tapia, Jorge SĂĄenz, AdriĂ Altimira, Seydouba CissĂ©, Yvan Neyou, Javi HernĂĄndez, Munir El Haddadi, Diego Garcia and Daniel Raba.
đ§ Prediction
We envisage that Villarreal look likely to create the chances to score more than once when they come up against Leganés, who will be up against it finding the net themselves.
Our selection here is for a comfortable 2-0 winning score for Villarreal at the end of the 90 minutes.
