Barcelona vs Villarreal Prediction: Expecting Confident Win for the Hosts

Prediction for the La Liga match between Barcelona vs Villarreal, which will take place on January 27th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Barcelona crashed out of the Copa del Rey, losing 4:2 to Atletico in extra time. It was a disappointing downfall after failing in the final of the Supercopa. Now, the Catalans play only in La Liga at home, so they thoroughly prepare every time. Before the 22nd round, Barcelona is third, 8 points behind leading Girona, having a game in reserve. Barcelona's home record is fifth in the league, with eight wins and two defeats in 10 games.

On January 8th, the visitors left the Copa after playing two games in the La Liga. During this period, they lost away to Las Palmas and drew 1:1 with Mallorca. Before this round, Villarreal occupied only 14th place, five points ahead of almost relegated Cadiz. The gap between the teams from the European Cups is 15 points. It is obvious that Villarreal, in the current season, is not a competitor in the fight for a place in the top 6.

Villarreal is having a weak season, switching from the fight for a place in the European Cups to keeping a place in the LL elite. Barcelona lacks stability, but they have a good home record and have recently enjoyed high performance. We expect Barcelona to win this match, but we doubt that the Catalans will not concede.
