Prediction published on 19/05/2022, 23:08  by Indran in LaLiga Predictions

Barcelona plays host to Villarreal at the Nou Camp in this final day match of the La Liga season. The home team are in second position with 73 points while the visitors are in 7th position with 56 points. Barcelona are unbeaten in their last four matches with three wins before a goalless draw against Getafe in their last match. This has been a hugely frustrating season for them as they adapt to life after Messi and for the first time since the 2002/03 season have they lost four matches at their Nou Camp fortress. Barcelona have won their last five matches against Villareal in the league and are looking to make it six consecutive wins for the first time in the competition. Following their goalless draw in the last match Barcelona are looking to avoid going scoreless in consecutive matches for the first time since 2008.Villareal are just a point ahead of eighth placed Atletico Bilbao who are breathing down their necks as both teams are chasing a Europa League spot. The visitors need a win to be assured of seventh spot or they need to match or better Bilbao’s result. Villareal have only won once in their last six matches across all competitions. Their away form has been good recently as they have won two of their last three away league matches. They have however won only three of their previous 16 away matches. Villareal have lost on their last ten visits to the Nou Camp which is their worst record against any opponent in the league.
