Villarreal vs Barcelona Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga
by Daniel Ngulu in LaLiga Prediction
Barcelona went eight points clear of Real Madrid after their latest win in La Liga and they will be keen to open the gap further when they travel to Villarreal. Barcelona, the league leaders have 53 points going into this game while Villarreal are seventh in the La Liga standings on 31 points. Villarreal haven't had a solid run in their recent matches; they come into this game on three losses in their last four matches. Their most recent outing ended in a 3-1 loss to bottom placed Elche and they will need something special to beat Barcelona. Their only win in the last five matches was against Girona, which ended 1-0 for their only clean sheet in that period. While they’ve failed to score in just one of the last five league matches, Villarreal have managed more than a goal in just one of the five. They however have three wins in four home matches and will hope this run gives them the needed confidence ahead of this key game. Villarreal are just a point below the Europe Conference League slot and seeking their 10th league win of the season, will hope to become the second team to beat Barcelona this season.
Barcelona last lost a game in October 2022 and come into this game unbeaten in 15 matches across all competitions. In La Liga, they are the best scoring side and also the best defensive. They have conceded just seven goals in their 20 matches in the league and with Real Madrid away at the Club World Cup, Barcelona have the chance to go 11 points clear. They are coming from an important win, beating Sevilla 3-0, for their fourth clean sheet in five matches. Barcelona come into this game with nine wins in 10 league matches. Their only loss this season came in an away match – 3-1 at Real Madrid; they’ve won nine of the other 10 away league matches. In the last seven meetings with Villarreal, Barcelona have won six.

Villarreal aren’t doing so well and this will be another tough challenge for them. Our prediction for Villarreal v Barcelona is a Barcelona win and clean sheet.
