Barca Look Set to Land the Spoils

We really like Barcelona at odds of 1.80 to beat Villarreal, with this Full-Time Result bet making lots of appeal. There’s a nice potential return and we think a victory could be on the cards.

Barca Are 8 From 10 on the Head-to-Head

Barcelona secured their 28th La Liga title when claiming a 2-0 victory in the Derbi Barceloní on Thursday. On the road against Espanyol at RCDE Stadium, they made it six wins on the spin. Hansi Flick's team boasted a whopping 75% of possession and had four shots on target, with Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez scoring one goal each.

Champions League hopefuls Villarreal claimed a home win in their previous game. A 3-0 triumph against Leganés at Estadio de la Ceramica made it four consecutive victories. El Submarino Amarillo enjoyed just 38% possession and had eight shots on goal, with Ayoze Perez on the scoresheet twice and Nicolas Pepe also finding the net.

Barca beat Villarreal away when the teams last met. It was a 5-1 scoreline at Estadio de la Ceramica. Barca have won eight of the previous 10 H2H games, with Villarreal victorious in the other two.
