Villarreal - Barcelona betting tips and odds

It’s hard to see even the most ardent of Villarreal fans expect a victory here. As clear underdogs, even a draw against Barcelona would be quite impressive, let alone an upset in the form of a home win.

Though it won’t be the easiest match of their careers, Blaugrana should be able to pull ahead for a victory. Most online bookmakers are pricing an away win at 1.98, which gives us confidence it’s the most likely outcome.

The Yellow Submarine previously recorded an away defeat with a 3:1 score at the end. What makes this defeat especially painful are the 5.50 betting odds for them winning, and the fact they spent both halves of the match behind.

The visiting side is coming off from a morale-boosting La Liga victory over Sevilla. Truth be told, Blaugrana had a slower start to the match but did great to earn a comprehensive 3:0 triumph following a drawn-out half.

The last two times we saw The Yellow Submarine at Estadio de la Cerámica, both matches ended with less than 2 goals in total. Hopefully, we’ll see some more action this time around.

Barcelona netted 6 goals in their last three showdowns, which means this match might be a great chance to look at Over Goals markets. With some luck, a confirmed Over 4.5 seems quite plausible.

Villarreal have recorded mixed results so far, and bookmakers are skeptical about their odds of earning 1 point and moving up to UEFA qualification spots. They’ll have plenty of chances to try, of course, but so will the teams placed lower.

The away team are seen as favourites despite their role as the visitors, and that makes a lot of sense considering the previous clash with Villarreal they had. Barcelona pulled far ahead of their opponents and secured a decisive victory.

The Yellow Submarine’s chances of winning are more difficult to gauge than usual. Though they would be underdogs anyhow, Nicolas Jackson, Giovani Lo Celso, Filip Jörgensen, Pedraza have been injured on top of that. Needless to say, they have a difficult match to look forward to.

If you want to get some value out of this match, you’ll need to be willing to take a risk. The best betting offers are found in the HT/FT market, specifically for a Draw/Away bet.
