Villarreal vs Barcelona Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in Spanish La Liga on Sunday, 12 February 2023.

Barcelona continued their scintillating run in 2023 with a 3-0 drubbing of Sevilla seven days ago at Spotify Camp Nou.

It was Barcelona’s ten consecutive win of the year in all competitions. They took advantage of Real Madrid’s unexpected slip-ups in the recent league outings to increase the gap at the top of La Liga standings to eight points.

Xavi’s troops will be looking to make it eleven on Sunday afternoon when they visit Estadio de la Ceramica for the 21st round clash against Villarreal.

On paper, this should be one of the toughest games of the season for Blaugrana but they may not have a difficult job on Sunday considering Villarreal’s poor form in the recent outings.

El Submarino Amarillo suffered a shocking 3-1 defeat at the hands of the rock-bottomed Elche last weekend.

It was Villarreal’s second consecutive loss, a run that dropped Quique Setien’s men to sixth position in the league table.

If we count all competitions, Villarreal have three defeats in the last four games. They did not offer anything in the final third in the last two outings despite facing the likes of Rayo Vallecano and Elche in the process.

This is by no means the form you want to carry into the clash against the sovereign leaders who also boast the competition’s best defensive record by a mile.
