Villarreal vs Barcelona Predictions

• Villarreal matches are averaging nearly four goals per game this season
• Each of Barcelona’s six fixtures have contained 3+ strikes
• Both teams have netted in ever Villarreal outing

Where Villarreal play, goals follow

Villarreal have enjoyed one of their best starts to a La Liga season in recent history, but it could have been even stronger where they not so easy to break down at the back.

The Yellow Submarine have picked up 11 points from their five fixtures so far, with each of those games seeing both teams score and four containing 3+ goals.

Indeed, their matches are averaging nearly four goals per 90 minutes, thanks to the fact they have already scored 11 times, while conceding eight at the other end.

Barca must bounce back

That will be music to the ears of visitors Barcelona, who recently dished out a 7-0 battering to Real Valladolid.

The Camp Nou side, league leaders ahead of this round, have played six games across all competitions this season, with all of them containing three or more goals, and five seeing both teams score.

Their most recent fixture was a shock 2-1 reversal at the hands of Monaco in the UEFA Champions League though, a result manager Hansi Flick knows he cannot afford a repeat of.

I predict that both teams will score with three or more goals across the 90 minutes, selecting 2-1 to Barcelona as a correct score prediction.
