Barcelona to Win
This is a very exciting matchup and while Villarreal is certainly capable of beating any team in Spain, Barcelona is currently in such a great form that we don't see them slipping here.
With eight points more than Real Madrid in La Liga, Barcelona is still far from securing the title, but right now, they seem destined to win it and The Yellow Submarine would have to perform above their usual level if they want to avoid a loss against Blaugrana.
Robert Lewandowski to Score at Any Time
The biggest difference this season compared to previous ones when it comes to Barcelona can be summed up in one word – Lewandowski. We say this with utmost respect for the rest of the team.
The Polish striker already sits at the top of the list of La Liga goalscorers with fourteen goals in seventeen appearances and if Barca manages to win in Villarreal, we have little doubt that Lewandowski will be on the scoresheet.

Villarreal and Barcelona Preview: Team News, Predicted Lineups, and Form
All the important facts and figures and all the latest updates for Villarreal and Barcelona are right here:
Villarreal
After a series of good results, including a win over Real Madrid, Villarreal lost in the last two rounds of La Liga. More worrying that the two losses is the fact that they came at hands of Rayo Vallecano and Elche, who was winless for the entire first half of the season. Still, the Yellow Submarine is sixth in the standings right now and just five points behind fourth place that would take them to Champions League.
When it comes to squad news, Villarreal is currently without injured Alfonso Pedraza, Giovani Lo Celso, Nicolas Jackson, and Filip Jorgensen.
Villarreal Predicted Lineup:
Reina – Foyth, Albiol, P. Torres, Mojica – Capoue, Parejo – Chukwueze, Baena, Pino – G. Moreno
Barcelona
In twenty rounds in La Liga so far, Barcelona has seventeen wins, two draws, and just one loss. Blaugrana is currently on a five-game winning streak and they are sitting at the top of the standings, eight points clear of their fierce rival and the defending champions Real Madrid. With the exception of the group-stage exit in Champions League, Barcelona is having a great season so far.
Meanwhile, Barcelona will again miss Ousmane Dembele and Sergio Busquets as they are recovering from their injuries.
Barcelona Predicted Lineup:
ter Stegen – Kounde, Araujo, Christensen, Alba – Pedri, De Jong, Gavi – Raphinha, Lewandowski, Fati
