Barcelona take on the visitors Villarreal at “Camp Nou” in the round 34 of the Spanish LaLiga. The game will be played in Barcelona on Wednesday, May 9th.
Barcelona have won the LaLiga champion’s title and the Copa del Rey trophy in this season. Last weekend the side gained 2:2 draw against Real Madrid at the home ground, having certain complains in regard to refereeing. Ernesto Valverde’s team picked up 87 points with 89-23 goal difference in 35 encounters played and now it may prepare to the vacations, using the reserved squad in the fights left. The Catalans conducted 17 clashes in front of their supporters in this season, having earned 45 points with 47-10 goal difference in them. The side deserved three draws, 14 triumphs and not a single loss at the home pitch so far.

In their turn, Villarreal have not tasted a failure across four tackles in a row, having won three recent battles over: Leganes 2:1, Celta Vigo 4:1 and Valencia 1:0. It should be noted that the club hosted all those encounters. With three rounds left till the end of the season, “El Submarino Amarillo” occupies the sixth position in the LaLiga standings with 57 points taken and 50-41 goal difference. The team collected 22 points with negative 17-21 goal difference in 17 away tackles. The side has managed to succeed only in one out of five recent battles conducted on the road.
Last time Villarreal managed to beat Barcelona was on the 9th of March 2008, having got only five draws and 14 defeats across 10 following years. I presume that a number of goals will be scored in the forthcoming game as the Catalans scored a lot and regularly conceded in the recent fights.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
