Barcelona have already completed their double and have won all they can at this stage of the season. After the 2 – 2 draw with Real Madrid in the Clasico on Sunday, there is a general feel they will finish the season unbeaten. They have a home game against Villarreal on Wednesday 9th and that shouldn’t be a worry for them though Villarreal, who are already locked out of the Champions League next season, will be hoping to consolidate their Europa League slot. Villarreal have won each of their last three but the resurgence came a bit too late and they cannot finish in the top four. Barcelona have scored 15 goals in their last five matches and in this clash this is among the issues Villarreal will be dealing with. Barcelona have dropped points in just nine matches in the league this season and head to this clash with just one loss in 25 matches across all competitions. Out of their last 35 matches, Barcelona have failed to score in just three so backing them to score here would be a good bet and they are on 42 league matches unbeaten, with the last defeat having come in early April 2017. Villarreal have four losses in 10 matches and seem too weak to challenge Barcelona. In seven away matches, Villarreal have won just once and in La Liga, they have won just four of the last 12 matches away from home. Barcelona are unbeaten in 19 matches against Villarreal and five of the last seven meetings between the two sides have produced over 2.5 goals. Head to head, the two sides have faced off 39 times, with Barcelona winning 22 and Villarreal eight.
