Villarreal<\/a> enter a pivotal week seeking their first Primera Divisi\u00f3n<\/a> win, with back-to-back fixtures against M\u00e1laga and Levante<\/a> following a 1-2 home defeat to Real Betis. I\u00f1igo P\u00e9rez\u2019s side have taken just two points from 15 and need an immediate change of course.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n El Peri\u00f3dico Mediterr\u00e1neo reports that the team\u2019s display against Betis exposed worrying disorganisation, defensive fragility and rising anxiety, and that within the club these two games are viewed as a potential springboard for recovery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The run begins on Thursday 17 September at La Rosaleda, where M\u00e1laga host the sixth round at 21.30. Three days later, on Sunday at 18.30, Levante visit La Cer\u00e1mica for the seventh round.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n After Levante, Villarreal face two blank weekends due to the September international window, then resume on 10 October at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u against Real Madrid at 21.00. Stabilising before the break would grant P\u00e9rez a calmer platform to work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Club confidence in P\u00e9rez remains strong, underlined by his three-season deal, though an extended slump could raise pressure without prompting drastic moves for now. Beyond tactics, Villarreal must regain solidity, cut defensive errors and finally win. Two positive results would reset the mood.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
