Barcelona vs Villarreal Predictions


Both sides have been struggling recently, especially when it comes to defending. I expect that trend to continue on Saturday, so BTTS & over 2.5 goals is the best bet.

Head to Head


Barcelona have a 32-9 advantage against Villarreal with 10 draws in 51 matches.

They last met in August 2023, the game being won by Barcelona 4-3.

Barcelona Form


Barcelona’s fans have witnessed another disappointment this season watching their team exit the Copa del Rey after a 4-2 loss to Athletic Bilbao during the mid-week.

Xavi Hernandez’s side deservedly lost the match, having 1.08-4.63 expected goals and 6-17 in shots. Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal were the scorers in the first half.

Earlier this month, Barcelona advanced to the Spanish Super Cup finals over Osasuna (2-0) just to get demolished by their archrival Real Madrid 4-1 in the grand finals.

Situation is far from ideal in La Liga as well with Blaugrana sitting in 3rd position seven points behind 2nd placed Real Madrid and eight points short of the table leaders Girona.

Barcelona Injuries & Team News


Gavi, Marcos Alonso, Andre ter Stegen, Inigo Martinez, Raphinha and Alejandro Balde are injured.

Villarreal Form


Villarreal are also going through a difficult period at the moment, being winless for four games straight across competitions and sitting in 14th position in the La Liga standings.

The Yellow Submarine were stunned by Unionistas de Salamanca in the Spanish Cup earlier this month, losing on penalties after the regulation ended 1-1. Right after that, they suffered a convincing 3-0 defeat to Las Palmas in La Liga.

Marcelino’s side was close to ending the winless run last weekend at home against Mallorca, had a 1-0 lead at half-time with Alexander Sorloth breaking the deadlock, but conceded a late goal and won just one point. Pepe Reina was sent off in 62nd minute which made things more difficult.

Villarreal Injuries & Team News


Yeremy Pino, Ramon Terrats, Alfonso Pedraza and Dani Parejo are injured.

Verdict

Barcelona scored 10 and conceded 11 goals in their last four appearances. Villarreal were also involved in a couple of high-scoring affairs recently, so BTTS & over 2.5 goals is the best bet.
