Barcelona, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 3-1 away defeat by Real Madrid will have left the Barcelona squad feeling a little deflated. During that encounter they recorded 57% of the possession and had 18 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 4 of their 8 shots on goal.
Their boss Xavi Hernández will be rightly happy with his team of late, having seen them score 13 goals in their last 6 matches while only letting 3 over their own goal line. They are proving to be a hard team to beat, having kept 5 clean sheets in their last 6 matches.
With 5 victories from their last 6 matches, they really have put together an impressive run of league form. They will be very happy with their very strong start to the season, winning 7 of their 9 league games.
On an individual basis, Robert Lewandowski will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Barcelona's last 6 league games.
Villarreal, Recent FormVillarreal will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-0 win in their home outing against Osasuna. They came away from that fixture with a possession stat of 58% and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 8 on target, in comparison to Osasuna, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
7 goals in 6 matches haven't proved quite enough for them in terms of a return in points, and that's despite having only conceded 3 goals in those 6 games, which shows a pretty solid defensive line. Away from home, they have become reasonably solid at the back with 4 clean sheets in their last 6 away outings.
It's been a mixed run of form for Villarreal recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Villarreal, Arnaut Danjuma will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Barcelona who ended up empty-handed, losing 0-2 to Villarreal.
El Submarino Amarillo have scored in each of their last 3 league meetings with Barça. Blaugrana have a decent scoring record against Villarreal in recent times, having hit the back of the net 13 times in the last 5 matches between the two.
Barça manager Xavi Hernández has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ronald Araújo (Hip), Héctor Bellerín (Leg), Andreas Christensen (Sprained ankle) and Memphis Depay (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Villarreal manager Unai Emery has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Francis Coquelin (Calf), Juan Foyth (Knee) and Gerard Moreno (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
