Barcelona vs Villarreal Betting Tips

With Barcelona yet to play a single game in the league, they will be a bit under pressure to perform as there will always be a game-gap between them and the other sides – of course until a decent part of the season ends. They face a tough test on their opening day itself with 3rd-placed Villarreal visiting. The away side have amassed 4 points from 2 games played.

Barcelona have seen more than 2.5 goals in 9 of their last 10 home games against Villarreal, which is a strong statistic – especially because the visitors have also seen more than 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 7 games in La Liga. Among the ‘over 2.5 goals’ seen in the home games against Villarreal, the Catalans themselves have scored more than a couple past the away side’s defence.

Thus the best betting tip for this game would be ‘Over 2.5 goals’ being scored. To be fair, it is highly likely that Barcelona alone would score more than a double over Villarreal this weekend.
