Barcelona take on the visitors Villarreal in the round 10 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Thursday, October 20th at Camp Nou (Barcelona).
Barcelona have to try to forget last week. All the talk about the fact that in Catalonia there is again “more than a club” was then, if not trampled, then hung under a big question mark. As well as Xavi's reputation as a manager, there are growing doubts that he will become the new Guardiola in this regard. Bluagrana and in the 2nd match could not win against "Inter", moreover, if anyone had to pull out a victory in that match, it was the "Nerazzurri". And this almost with absolute probability means that there will be no Champions League playoffs for the 2nd time in a row. Well, on Sunday, Real Madrid left no questions at home either. The totally deserved 3-1 win, beating the eternal competitor in El Clasico and breaking away by 3 points. In general, there is a completely objective alignment to be left without any trophies at all, at least serious ones. But the season goes on and they need to keep playing.

Villarreal remain faithful to the approach of their coach in this draw. Prior to this, Unai Emery proved to be a master of the game in knockout matches. With the Yellow Submarine, he reached the Europa League victory in 2021, and last season he managed to get past Juventus and Bayern in the Champions League playoffs. But for this there was a retribution in the form of a decrease in the results in the LaLiga, down to 7th place in the spring. Nevertheless, even now the Spaniards look good in the Conference League - they have a 100% indicator there. But in the Primera, after a promising start with 10 points after 4 rounds, the “submariners” slowed down. They lost 0-1 to both Betis and Real Sociedad, and shared points with the crisis Sevilla and modest Cadiz. And only in the last round it was finally possible to show a good result - Osasuna was beaten – 2-0.
Barcelona had not lost a head-to-head since 2008. Moreover, they won 5 matches in a row and 9 of the last 10. But in May, all the same, Villarreal managed to win 2-0 here, at the Camp Nou. Bookmakers believe that Barcelona will take revenge by beating Villarreal. But you should not expect special entertainment from this confrontation - in this match, you should look at the offer in the form of "total less than 3.5 goals scored".
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 scored goals.
