Villarreal CF vs FC Barcelona Prediction 12 February 2023

In another match of the La Liga matchday 21, the confident leaders of the tournament, Barcelona, will go to visit tough Villarreal.

Two defeats in a row against Rayo Vallecano (0-1) and Elche (1-3) dropped Villarreal to sixth position with 31 points and a goal difference of 22-17, leveling the effect of successful games with Real Madrid (2-1), Celta (1-1) and Girona (1-0). Despite this, Yellow Submarine are only four points behind the coveted top 4.

Barcelona are in the lead with 53 points and an excellent goal difference of 42-7, which testifies to the reliable performance of the Catalans. It should be noted that in the previous five cases, they took turns breaking the resistance of Atlético (1-0), Getafe (1-0), Girona (1-0), Betis (2-1) and Sevilla (3-0).

Under Xavi, Barcelona learned to be pragmatic, while today's Villarreal are frankly unimpressive. We think that the guests will again realize their superiority in class and take another step towards the title.
