MADRID, 2 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Villarreal hopes to continue this Monday against RCD Espanyol at the Ceramic Stadium (9:00 p.m.), in the last game of the twenty -sixth day of LaLiga EA Sports, with a good run of results to approach the ‘Champions’ area, all in front of a rival who needs to continue adding to move the ghost of the descent away.
After a bad end of 2024, the Castellonenses have been able to recover in this new year, in which they have only conceded a defeat-in front of the Royal Society (1-0) on January 13, precisely their first 2025 match-in seven meetings.
From that stumbling block in the Reale Arena, those of Marcelino García Toral link six games without falling, with two draws and four victories, the last one of them the previous day in Vallecas (0-1). These results have allowed them to increase the fifth position.
With 44 points, they are four in the fourth place, in possession of an Athletic Club that fell on Saturday in the Metropolitan, and six advantage over the sixth. Now, the yellow picture will try to take advantage of the ruling of Ernesto Valverde to approach those access positions to the Champions League.
In front, Espanyol seems to have made air with its triumph in the field of Alavés Deportivo (0-1), the second consecutive day scoring after the draw against Athletic (1-1). The Manolo González team already adds 27 points, four above the descent.
The ‘yellow submarine’ will not be able to count on the long -term injured Ilias Akhomach or forward Gerard Moreno, with an injury to the soleus. The Catalans, meanwhile, will regret the absences of Fernando Pacheco and Pablo Ramón and have the Dida of José Graga.
