Match Overview: In Round 26, we have an intriguing matchup starting at 21:00. The Yellow Submarine is on a remarkable run and is looking forward to a likely return to European competitions in the 2025/26 season. Under Marcelino, they've recently boosted their lead over the sixth place to nine points after defeating direct rivals Rayo Vallecano 1-0, extending their unbeaten streak to six league matches (4 wins, 2 draws). Their secret sauce has been a slight improvement in defense—despite having only achieved a clean sheet in three matches this season, which stands as the worst in the league, two of those came right after mid-January. Still, they are struggling defensively, worse than eight out of nine teams in the upper half of the standings. Espanyol will be aiming to capitalize on Villarreal's defensive frailties, yet the statistics aren't in their favor. Before this round, only one team had garnered fewer away points than Espanyol, who have managed just one win (with 2 draws and 9 losses) on the road in this La Liga season, scoring merely seven goals, which is the lowest tally in the league. Their solitary away win came last round against Alavés (1-0), which offered them a glimmer of hope in their relegation battle. However, they have struggled against Villarreal in their last four encounters, suffering defeats in all of them, including heavy losses of 4-2 and 5-1 in their most recent away games at Villarreal. A key player for the home side will be Ayoze Pérez, who has scored in three of Villarreal's last four matches.
Villarreal has seen both teams score in 19 out of 25 league matches, marking the highest percentage in La Liga.
Espanyol has not clinched a victory in their last four matches against Villarreal.
Espanyol's away record this season: 1 win, 2 draws, 9 losses.
