Tipster’s Angle

Barcelona might have dominated Villarreal over the years, but they are not playing to their standards this season. Villarreal is pretty sloppy as well but Barcelona has a poor away record this season. So, Villarreal could snatch a point from this clash.

Tip: Both Teams To Score @ 1.60

Both sides scored in eight of the previous 11 head-to-head matchups. In four of the last five head-to-head meetings where Villarreal played as hosts, both clubs have scored. In all competitions, Villarreal has scored in nine of their last ten games, with six of those games including both teams scoring. In contrast, Barcelona has scored in seven of their previous ten games, with both teams scoring in three of their last six. Furthermore, both clubs have scored in two of Villarreal’s last four home games. Apart from that, both teams scored in the previous head-to-head match. As a result, both teams finding the back of the goal might be a feature in this match at Betway‘s 1.60 odds.

Tip: Total Goals Over 2.5 @ 1.70

In the last 11 head-to-head games, a total of 44 goals were scored, with an average of four goals per match. There were also more than 2.5 goals scored in eight of those matches. Apart from that, over 2.5 goals have been scored in four of Villarreal’s last five head-to-head matches. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in five of Villarreal’s last 10 matches in all competitions. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in four of Barcelona’s previous ten matches in all competitions. Furthermore, there were over 2.5 goals scored in both head-to-head matches played last season. As a result, the Betway sportsbook’s 1.70 odds suggest that this match might contain over 2.5 goals.

Conclusion

Both the teams are really struggling to make an impact so far this season and find their feet. And if this poor run of form continues, both the teams are unlikely to make it to the top six. But both the teams have their Champions League stint alive.
