Barcelona will continue their La Liga campaign this Sunday, as they make the trip to Villarreal. Both sides have landed just one win in the Spanish top-flight this season, meaning the pressure will be on both this weekend.
Before Betting On Villarreal vs Barcelona
This should be a high-quality showdown between two sides that will be in the battle for a European spot in La Liga this term. However, Villarreal haven’t experienced much success against Barcelona since winning three on the bounce against their rivals between 2007 and 2008.
That is mirrored by the fact that they have won just once in their previous 28 meetings against the Catalonian giants in the Spanish top-flight. Furthermore, their only win was recorded away from home at the Nou Camp in May 2022.
Barcelona also have an excellent record against Villarreal, as they have avoided defeat in each of their last 14 in the league. Meanwhile, they have recorded wins in each of their last four. Defensively, Barcelona have started the season well, as they have kept two clean sheets.
The Spanish giants haven’t kept three clean sheets in their opening three matches at the start of a La Liga season since 2017-18. They will be clear favorites this weekend as Villarreal have failed to win each of their previous two at home.
Villarreal vs Barcelona Offshore Odds
Barcelona looked back to their best in La Liga last weekend, as they picked up maximum points in front of their home fans. We could see that winning momentum being continued on the road this Sunday.
