Team news

Sergi Roberto will be suspended for Barcelona after his red card in the Clasico, although the champions have no injury worries ahead of the visit of Villarreal.

The Yellow Submarine will have Serbian full-back Antonio Rukavina suspended for the clash.

Engaging match at the Camp Nou

Villarreal are finishing the season strongly having won their last three matches and another win on Wednesday evening would lift them up to fifth place in the table.

Javi Calleja's side have already secured their spot in the Europa League next term but will be motivated to try and finish as high as possible in the table, while Barca of course want to preserve their unbeaten record.

We should therefore see a competitive game at Camp Nou which could produce goals at both ends.

Barcelona to win and both teams to score is priced at 5/4 (2.20) and has paid out in four of Villarreal's last five away games against the Blaugrana.

This season, Villarreal have scored away to Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Valencia and will back themselves to get on the scoresheet once more at Camp Nou on Wednesday.
