A look at their prior head-to-head meetings going back to 22/05/2022 shows that Barcelona have won 4 of these games and Villarreal 2, with the number of drawn games standing at 0.

There were also goals galore in those games, with 27 in all which averages out at 4.5 goals per meeting.

The last league fixture featuring the two was La Liga match day 6 on 22/09/2024 which ended up with the score at Villarreal 1-5 Barcelona.

ℹ️ Team News: Barcelona

Ferran Torres (Appendicitis), Jules Koundé (Hamstring injury) and Marc Bernal (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be playing for Barcelona gaffer Hansi Flick.

In all likelihood, Barça may well go for a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game, beginning the first half with M. ter Stegen, Hector Fort, Pau Cubarsi, Andreas Christensen, Alejandro Balde, Marc Casado, Gavi, Pau Victor, Fermin Lopez, Ansu Fati and Robert Lewandowski.

📰 Team News: Villarreal

Thanks to a largely healthy group, there’s only the one fitness worry for the Villarreal boss Marcelino García Toral to contend with. Ilias Akhomach (Cruciate ligament injury) won’t be in action.

We reckon that El Submarino Amarillo seem most likely to elect for a 4-4-2 lineup using Luiz Junior, Juan Foyth, Willy Kambwala, Logan Costa, Sergi Cardona, Yeremi Pino, Santi Comesana, Pape Gueye, Alejandro Baena, Nicolas Pepe and Ayoze Perez.

🔮 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Barcelona are likely to be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.

Conversely, Villarreal won’t find it easy to score themselves although we do see them managing to get on the scoresheet as well here.

Accordingly, we see a comfortable 3-1 margin for Barcelona when all’s said and done.
