Barcelona vs Villarreal 20.10.2022

Barcelona suffered a disappointing loss to eternal rivals Real Madrid, in the El Classico at the weekend to cap off a wretched week. The Blaugrana had earlier recorded a last-gasp draw against Inter Milan, a result which put their progress in the Champions League in jeopardy.

Now, Xavi Hernadez’s men have to put that result behind them and look forward to the meeting against Villareal. Last time out, they suffered a 0-2 loss to the Yellow Submarines and they know better than to underrate Unai Emery’s charges.

Both sides have similar forms and an identical goal-scoring streak. In fact, 3 of their last 5 meetings resulted in goals from both sides. Therefore, we are backing both teams to score.
