Barcelona, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 4-2 away win over Real Betis in their last league game, Barcelona will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 64% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Real Betis' tally of 14 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Manager Xavi Hernández will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 13 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 10 goals conceded in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 19 of their 20 games this season.
They have had a good run of form at Spotify Camp Nou recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games. They will be very happy with their early form at home this season, winning 8 of their 10 league games.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Barcelona, Ferrán Torres will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Villarreal, Recent FormVillarreal had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against Mallorca. Their share of possession in that meeting was 51%, while racking up 18 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Mallorca had 8 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Manager Marcelino García Toral will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 16 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 6 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 13 games overall.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table.
Gerard Moreno has scored 4 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Barcelona.
It was no surpirise that the last time these two teams met Barcelona came out on top, winning the match 3-4.
