Latest football commentary Villarreal vs Barcelona
Villarreal finished last year's La Liga season in eighth place, a disappointing result given they had finished fifth and seventh in previous seasons.
However, the 'Yellow Submarine' have made an impressive start to the season, with three wins and two draws, earning 11 points, placing them fourth in the table, level on points with Atletico Madrid and four behind Barcelona. Marcelino's side drew 2-2 with Atletico in their opening game, then won against Sevilla and Celta Vigo, and most recently won 2-1 against Mallorca thanks to an injury-time winner from Ayoze Perez.
Villarreal will be looking to beat Barcelona at home for the first time since October 2007, despite their impressive 5-3 win over the Catalans at the end of January. Barcelona, on the other hand, will come into this game following a 2-1 defeat to Monaco in their opening Champions League group game, despite Lamine Yamal equalising thanks to his first Champions League goal. However, Barcelona's form in La Liga has been impeccable, with five straight wins leaving them top of the table with 15 points.
The Catalans will be under pressure in their next three league games, and they need all three points in this clash to consolidate their lead. Barcelona beat Villarreal 4-3 in the corresponding fixture last season and have not lost at the Yellow Submarine's ground since 2007, underlining their dominance. Despite missing several key players, Barcelona face an in-form Villarreal side. It could be a narrow win for the visitors, but a low-scoring draw cannot be ruled out, as Villarreal are showing considerable strength at home.
