The second game to kick off the Spanish top division on Saturday takes place at the legendary Camp Nou, where Barcelona and Villarreal will lock horns. Fresh from their comfortable win over Levante, the hosts will be hoping to record a second straight win in front of their own fans. Thankfully, after a shock defeat to Girona, Hansi Flick's men bounced back last time out, but they cannot afford to take their foot off the gas, oh no. Bitter rivals Real Madrid are just a point behind in the race for the LaLiga title, so Saturday's hosts need to win this game.
Right now, it looks like the race for the top spot contains only two teams, but if any other team is going to get involved, then it may just be Saturday's visitors, who currently sit third. Sure, they're ten points behind Barca, but they could cut the gap to seven with a win here. Winning at Camp Nou is not something that many teams manage to do, but the men in yellow should at least arrive feeling confident having won each of their last two league games.

Our Barcelona vs Villarreal Prediction
Having joined Villarreal in the summer, Georges Mikaudtadze has enjoyed a pleasing first season in the Spanish top division, scoring eight LaLiga goals, one of which came away against Real Madrid, which bodes well ahead of this clash. A clear threat on the break, the forward may just be a little generously priced to register a shot ont target against Barcelona on Saturday.
The Georgian has been in hot shooting form in recent weeks, while he's done a very good job of firing off shots on target against the big teams this season, as the stats above show. For my money, odds of +100 are on the lenient side and should be taken by those seeking value.
