Villarreal vs Barcelona Main Match Info

Villarreal vs Barcelona Moneyline Prediction

Barcelona approach the match as slight favourites. After 17 league games, they top LaLiga with 49 goals, having generated about 39.2 xG while allowing around 22.3 xGA. 

Villarreal’s campaign has been superb, with 35 points on the board, but their chance creation hasn’t been as good, meaning that they often need clinical finishing to stay ahead. 

Tactically, Hansi Flick’s side press high and keep opponents pinned with long possession spells and shot volume. It can smother Villarreal’s 4-4-2 build-up and force longer clearances. 

Barça arrive on a strong winning run with a solid away record. While they do have defensive issues, the quality of their attackers and their prolific offensive output should be enough to secure all three points.

Villarreal vs Barcelona Player Prop

Raphinha is undoubtedly the talisman for the current Barcelona side. He’s registered six goals from 10 appearances, firing 31 shots and producing 4.59 xG in just 614 minutes. He also just hit a brace against Osasuna and piled up seven shots. 

Meanwhile, Villarreal’s back line looks stretched for this specific matchup. The hosts have absences in defence, a vulnerability that Barcelona’s fast wingers are well equipped to exploit through one-on-one situations and box entries.

The Blaugrana are built to generate volume away from home. Considering how vast Raphinha’s playing arsenal is, we expect him to appear on the scoresheet at least once. 

Villarreal vs Barcelona Same Game Parlay

Barcelona to Win: Barcelona are on a seven-match winning streak in LaLiga. They’ve also won the previous six H2H away games against the Yellow Submarine, so we expect a narrow victory for the visitors.

Over 3.5 Goals: The last four H2Hs have produced at least four goals. Barcelona’s defence allows too many errors, and they barely keep a clean sheet. Hence, we anticipate a high-scoring affair.

Raphinha to Score: Back from injury, Raphinha is a key catalyst in Barça’s attack. Given his heavy involvement in the final third, he should be able to upset the opponents.

Despite their massive failure in the Champions League, Villarreal are doing well in LaLiga. Sitting third in the table with 35 points, they have two games in hand and the potential to move into second place. 

Alberto Moleiro has been the team’s standout performer. The former Las Palmas forward has scored six goals and has formed an effective partnership with Georges Mikautadze.

There are worries in Villarreal’s camp. Thomas Partey, Santiago Mourino, Gerard Moreno, Pape Gueye, Logan Costa, and Pau Cabanes are all sidelined, while Ilias Akhomach is on international duty. 

Barcelona Team News

After their defeat to Real Madrid, Barça were trailing their rivals by four points. However, thanks to their seven-game winning streak, they now lead the table with the same advantage.

While the Blaugrana are frequently criticised for their reckless defensive play, their attacking output has been outstanding. With 49 goals, no other team come close, and Ferran Torres ranks second in the scoring charts with 11, behind Kylian Mbappe.

Gavi and Dani Olmo are out with injuries. Ronald Araujo won’t feature due to personal reasons.
