Barcelona find themselves on top of the LaLiga pile as we get into the business end of the league season, with a game in hand being the reason why Luis Enrique’s side are in pole position.
Therefore, the Blaugrana have little option but to just keep winning in the hope that Real Madrid slip up elsewhere but the visit of Villarreal is a very tough proposition for the hosts to deal with, as we highlight in our Barcelona vs Villarreal preview.
- Barcelona 3-2 Real Sociedad
- Real Madrid 2-3 Barcelona
- Barcelona 7-1 Osasuna
- Espanyol 0-3 Barcelona
Barcelona have won their last 10 consecutive games at Camp Nou, conceding just eight goals in the process. With Neymar back from a ban too, the hosts are looking very dangerous, as we make clear in our Barcelona vs Villarreal predictions.
After putting seven past Osasuna last week, Villarreal have stated their intent towards the league title, having scored no less than three times per home clash in their last six games in Catalonia.
- Alaves 2-1 Villarreal
- Villarreal 2-1 Leganes
- Atletico 0-1 Villarreal
- Villarreal 3-1 Sporting
The away side welcome back Mateo Musacchio and Jaume Costa from suspension this weekend, and boast the second-best defensive record in LaLiga. Last week they beat Atletico at the Calderon, affecting our Barcelona vs Villarreal picks considerably.
Barcelona are in scorching home form and have the greatest prize that the league has to offer in front of them, but Villarreal want European football and are defensively mean.
