Villarreal vs Barcelona preview
Villarreal
The hosts will be looking to get closer to the Champions League spots when they welcome Barcelona at Estadio de la Cerámica on Sunday.
Quique Setién’s men are sitting sixth in the standings with 31 points, one less than Rayo Vallecano, the standout team of the season together with Real Sociedad. They are four points behind Atlético Madrid, the fourth-best team so far.
Villarreal will be confident of defeating the Catalan giants after beating Real Madrid in LaLiga (2-1) at the beginning of January, but El Submarino Amarillo will need to show better form than in their last two LaLiga games, as they lost to Elche and Rayo.
Barcelona
Meanwhile, Barça, with an eye on their Europa League fixture vs. Manchester United, will be looking for their eighth consecutive win across all competitions against Villarreal after a dominant 3-0 win over Sevilla at Camp Nou in their last match.
The visitors will try to keep their impressive record in defense, being already the team with the most clean sheets this season across the big five European leagues (15). Moreover, they are the first team to keep 15 clean sheets in their first 20 games in a single LaLiga campaign in the 21st century.
Xavi Hernández’s pupils bounced back from their Champions League elimination in a brilliant fashion, winning the Spanish Super Cup, qualifying for the Copa del Rey semifinals and now commanding the LaLiga standings, eight points clear of Real Madrid.
The Blaugranes, who haven’t lost a game since October, have only been defeated by Villarreal twice in their last 30 encounters across all competitions.
