Villarreal-Barcelona is a match valid for the sixth day of La Liga and will be played on Sunday at 6:30pm: likely lineups, prediction, live TV and streaming
One of the most fascinating confrontations of the sixth day of the Spanish La Liga is sure to be the one at the Estadio de la Ceramica between Villarreal and Barcelona. Coming off an unlucky Champions League debut against Monaco, the blaugrana are looking down on everyone in La Liga, on the strength of their five wins in their first five league matches. Villarreal, however, has no intention of playing the sacrificial victim: in fact, the yellow ‘Submarine’ is living an excellent period of form, being still undefeated with its 11 points. However, both Flick and Marcelino will have to reckon with numerous absences that should decisively orient the choices of the two coaches.
Still out Foyth and Gerard Moreno, Villarreal will recover Pape Gueye, who will make his return after the team. Still in doubt remain Kambwala and Pedraza, growing in condition but not yet in top form. In any case, the real formation doubt for Marcelino is whether or not to use Parejo, whose possible exclusion from the starting eleven would be offset by the greater physicality offered by the midfield pair Comesaña – Gueye. On the opposite front – in addition to the disqualification of Ferran Torres – Flick will have to do without Bernal, Christensen, Gavi, Araujo and Fermin, while Marc Casado and De Jong are still in doubt. Barring last minute turnover, Xavi should rely on the usual trident consisting of Yamal, Raphinha and Lewandowski.

The Prediction
Barcelona may run into some difficulties in bringing home their sixth consecutive win. Villarreal has all the cards to stop Flick’s men, especially if they manage to channel the match into the most congenial tracks. The feeling is that the hosts can seriously trip up the blaugrana. In this regard, the option of a draw with a goal appears very mouthwatering.
