Villarreal started the new season quite well - 11 points in the first 5 rounds, scored 11 goals, but conceded 8, which is quite a lot. And the calendar was quite difficult (they had time to play with Atletico Madrid, Celta, Sevilla), but they did not lose a single game and intend to get into the European Cup zone at the end of the season.
Barcelona have a phenomenal start in LaLiga - 5 wins in 5 games with a total score of 17:4, Lewandowski continues to keep the bar high, and he is joined by young Yamal, who has 3 goals in the championship. The recent 2-1 defeat to Monaco in the UEFA Champions League has blurred the picture a bit, although in that match the Catalans were sent off in the 11th minute of the match, which was the reason for the setback.
Last season both face-to-face meetings were incredibly rich in goals - 3:4 Barcelona won away, and then 3:5 Villarreal already won at Camp Nou. Barcelona have a lot of losses in the squad, which gives Villarreal a chance for goals in this match, we expect a lot of goals today.
Prediction: at least 3 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 2.5" bet, odds 1.41
