Villarreal v Barcelona: Tense affair in order as visitors look to pull away from chasing pack

Barcelona travel to the Estadio de la Ceramica on Sunday evening for a game which is seen as key to their title hopes.

Matches away to Villarreal have been extremely tough for the Blaugrana in recent years, with Barca drawing in each of their last two vists to Villarreal, but if Ernesto Valverde's men can pick up three points on Sunday evening it will further strengthen their position at the top of the La Liga table.

Villarreal, for their part, come into the game following back to back league defeats, although the Yellow Submarine will surely raise their game for the visit of Barca as Javi Calleja's side can be an incisive and well organised unit.

Barcelona remain unbeaten in La Liga this season, although their previous visits to top six sides this term both ended in 1-1 draws, at Atletico Madrid and Valencia respectively, whilst last season Barca needed an injury time strike to earn a 1-1 draw in this fixture and a repeat scoreline is priced at 7/1 (8.00).

Both teams to score, meanwhile, has paid out in eight of the last ten meetings between the sides and is offered at 4/7 (1.57), a price which reflects the likelihood of it paying out once more.

However, opposing a high scoring game could be a more productive angle for this match and under 2.5 goals is priced at 7/5 (2.40).

This bet has paid out in four of Barca's last six league visits to Villarreal, while also proving the correct selection in three of their last four away games in La Liga this term.
