Villarreal-Barcelona is a match on the twenty-first day of La Liga and is played on Sunday at 21:00 odds, predictions, TV and streaming.
Yes, Real Madrid would have a game to spare, as Ancelotti’s team became World Champions yesterday, but putting eleven points behind them would be an almost decisive factor, mentally, for winning La Liga. In short, the chance for Barcelona is really important, although it will not be easy at all to take the three points against Villarreal.
Setien’s team, it is right to underline, is not in a good moment and has also left the European zone with the last two defeats in the championship. A Europe zone that, however, remains within reach of the hosts as it is only three points away. But in the last five matches the yellow submarine has only won once, in the 99th minute, at home against Girona and also thanks to a penalty. Evidently something has jammed. Something that has not happened to the Catalans, who only know victory: there are ten in a row between the league and the King’s Cup. And defeat is a bitter taste that Xavi hasn’t known for several months.
On paper, then, there should be no match. But Villarreal, without little argument, will try in every way to put a spoke in the wheels of the formation that leads the Spanish league. Although, the Catalans’ away performance against Reina and his team-mates is decidedly positive: in the last three engagements there have been as many victories.
Reina
The Prediction
A match that should give at least three goals in total. A match that should see Barcelona manage to score a full goal. A match that could also determine the Spanish La Liga. Eleven points ahead, despite as mentioned one game more, would perhaps be an unbridgeable gap for Real Madrid.
