Villarreal vs Barcelona Prediction & Betting Tips (22 September)

Few people expected Villarreal to be battling against relegation, but that is the reality facing a team that has suffered ten defeats in 10 games recently, not to mention the fact that they have triumphed only once at home all season. For their part, title-chasing Barcelona have recorded seven victories in their most recent ten LaLiga matches.

Villarreal have certainly provided their supporters with plenty of entertainment in recent times, with ten of their previous 10 LaLiga home games delivering a minimum of three goals. Given that this has also been the case in six of the last seven Barcelona away matches at this level, then it would come as a surprise to see anything different when they lock horns.

When these two teams lock horns, the net tends to bulge at both ends, with this being the case in each of their most recent six derbies at the top table of the LaLiga. Not only that, but seven of the last ten Villarreal home games at this level have produced goals at both ends, as have 10 of the previous 12 matches involving Barcelona.
