Match Facts:
Villarreal CF (5th, 54 pts)
- The hosts are seeking to tighten their grip on fifth place, having slipped up last time out in a 2-1 reversal away to D. Alaves. With Athletic Club, Real Sociedad and SD Eibar breathing down their necks, Fran Escriba's troops know that any more dropped points could prove costly in the race for Europe.
- When Villarreal sealed a fifth straight win on home turf on Matchday 11 against R. Betis, few would have imagined that the Matchday 33 fixture would be a chance to rack up back-to-back victories at the Estadio de la Ceramica for the first time since early November.
CD Leganes (17th, 27 pts)
- After going on a six-game winless run, the visitors head into the game targeting three points that would extend the gap between them and the teams in the drop zone in LaLiga Santander. The cushion currently stands at five points, but that could quickly change and plunge Leganes into danger.
- Asier Garitano's charges find themselves on an unwanted 12-game winless run on the road (D4 L8), which hasn't yielded a single clean sheet, and head into the contest desperate to get back to winning ways away from Butarque.
