Mikautadze tops Liga de los valencianos scorers, with Moleiro, André Silva, Espí and Hugo Duro in pursuit | OneFootball

Georges Mikautadze leads the Liga de los valencianos scoring chart with 11, ahead of Alberto Moleiro and André Silva on 10, while Carlos Espí, Gerard Moreno and Hugo Duro sit on nine. According to Superdeporte, Villarreal also topped this season’s Valencian derbies, the last coming against Levante days ago.

The region could even field five top-flight sides next season, with CD Castellón in the LaLiga Hypermotion promotion play-offs with three regular-season games remaining.

More immediately, the run-in centres on survival for Valencia, Elche and Levante. Valencia hold a five-point cushion and could still reach the Conference League, Elche are two clear, while penultimate Levante must make up at least three.

Spain’s search for a penalty-box number nine shapes the conversation. Espí’s nine goals have taken him into Luis de la Fuente’s provisional list, as has Toni Martínez, while Gerard Moreno, Hugo Duro and Rafa Mir have missed out.

A March 2026 rule change means only players on that prelist can make the final 26 or replace an injured pick. Moleiro is also in the 55-man submission the Real Federación Española de Fútbol sent to FIFA, which has not been fully disclosed. Most of Moleiro’s goals arrived early in 2025, while eight of Espí’s have come in the second half of the season.

Villarreal’s depth is clear, with five players on more than five league goals, including Nicolás Pépé on eight and Tajon Buchanan on seven, underpinning 65 goals and third place.

Elche also have three players above five, with Álvaro Rodríguez on six alongside Silva and Mir, and they have scored 47 in 36. Valencia have 38 in 35, with only Duro and Largie Ramazani, six, above five.

Levante have 44 league goals so far, driven by Espí, Iván Romero and Etta Eyong’s 23 combined. Behind Villarreal’s Pépé, Romero and Etta Eyong are on seven apiece.
