Barcelona vs Villarreal Prediction and Match Preview

Barcelona has gained back the positive momentum in the league by sealing four consecutive unbeaten outcomes. They will hope to add more to the list on Saturday when they play host to Villarreal at Estadio Olimpico Lluis Companys.

• Barcelona sealed a 2-4 win on the road against Real Betis to extend their winning thread to three games in the league.
• Villarreal is having a four-match winless streak at present and lost three on the stretch.
• Over 60% of the matches played by both Barcelona and Villarreal had goals over 2.5 ft .

The defending champions Barcelona quite can not deliver the same display like last season so far this time. They have often been recording some winless outcomes which push them well clear from the top spot. Moving on, Barcelona’s latest Laliga win over Betis was the fourth consecutive unbeaten outcome recorded by the team, which helped them to maintain their position at third in the standings.

On the other side, Villarreal was winless in four of the past five league matches and dropped into 14^th on the same list. With the home advantage, we expect Barcelona to deliver a pleasant display to their local supporters on Saturday.

Recent Meetings

• Barcelona can rely on the recent tradition since they follow a three-match unbeaten streak against Villarreal.
• At home, Barcelona has lost just twice against Villarreal in the past 20 head-to-head clashes.
• Their head-to-head clashes with Barcelona having the home advantage have usually been a goal-fest with Barca scoring the majority.

Barcelona vs Villarreal Prediction

Barcelona have been recording impressive displays at their temporary home stadium since the beginning of this season. They have won eight of their 10 league home matches so far this season. Do also note that they scored 19 goals in the eight home matches they won. Therefore, we like to suggest Barcelona -1.5 Asian Handicap as the main betting pick for this match.

Do also note that Barcelona sealed a clean sheet victory in two of the past four league matches at home. However, most of those matches had plenty of goals. On top of that, Villarreal has the number of over 2.5 goals involvements this season. Thus, we like to suggest the over 3.5 goals tip as the second pick for this match.
