The Villarreal comes from two losses against Atlético de Madrid and at Athletic Club as a visitor, with which he has closed the month of February losing European positions. Therefore, the team needs to react now, if they do not want the train to escape from those privileged positions. So that this March is vital to close it with victories, since two games are played at home, and rivals are played from the bottom of the table.
Although this last premise is not that it is the best, or, at least, it has not been this season. The yellows will receive Leganés (penultimate), Celtic (mark the area outside the descent), and Real Mallorca (antepenultimate), all of them teams of the struggle for salvation. Something that would normally mean a higher chance of being able to score or add the victories, but this season is not that it was like that for the yellows.
As Calleja's team has not been fine with these rivals in the lower zone, as it shows that of the teams that have occupied those positions or have been close to them, the records are bad. The yellows lost with Celtic Y Spanish at home, and losing with Majorca or Eibar as visitors And of the three teams he will face this month, he has only been able to win at Leganés in the first part of the championship.
Right now, the distance with the European squares is five points, so the yellows need to score a minimum of two wins in the next three games. Thus, it is clear that the matches with Leganés and Mallorca are non-negotiable, and more with the need to add as much as possible at home. The Castellon players will play seven home games, with the visits of Leganés, Malllorca, Barcelona, Seville, Valencia, Real Sociedad and Eibar, of which they must add the victory in almost all of them.
