The reigning Spanish champions Barcelona had an average start to this season. They have recorded a disappointing goalless draw in their first match and won the second against Cadiz scoring 2-0 ft.
The team will face Villarreal as their hosting rivals on Friday. Going on, Villarreal had a 1-2 losing start against Real Betis. However, they won 0-1 against Mallorca in their second match.

Barcelona won the last four clashes and are on a 16-match unbeaten run at this stadium. Four of the last five meetings had goals over 2.5 ft.
Celta Vigo was looking good at home before entering their opening fixture at home this season. They were expected to seal a win from that match but ended up losing it 1-2 against Real Betis.
Such a display will affect their chances as they faces a team like Barcelona this Friday. Moreover, Barcelona have managed to win against teams like Real Madrid and AC Milan on the road of late.
Since Barcelona have been the superior force in the history, we expect a win for them on Friday against this Vilarreal side.
Five of the last eight away matches of Barcelona had goals over 2.5 ft. Moreover, Barcelona had one of the best attacking side in the last season. Thus, we expect an over 2.5 goals display in this match.
We are quite not sure about the possibility of a both teams to score display here. The main reason for that is the defensive line of Barcelona which have kept a clean sheet in their opening two fixtures. Villarreal makes it a tough call as they have scored in the past eight home matches in a row.
