The team of Javier Calleja was the favourite of Betis Sevilla and then started as one. A transformed foul penalty meter from Gerard in the initial phase determined the direction of the game (7.). The forward even tied up a double pack after half an hour and increased to 2-0. At the latest after the yellow and red card for Seville’s Fekir in the second half, the guests finally took to the winning street (45th +3). After the change of sides, the FCV scored three more points in the fight for the European Cup.
The Calleja-Elf is in impressive shape after the re-start. Five of the last six league games won the yellow submarine and scored 16 points during that period. Before the corona interruption, there were three bankruptcies in a row. Villarreal scored 13 goals in the last six home games (four wins, one draw, one defeat). After the top duo Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, most goals were scored at home (31). This is exactly what it looks like after 33 game days with 53 goals in the season.
Ramiro Funes Mori is the only player to be injured at the weekend. Otherwise, Villarreal can receive the Catalans with the best staff.

The reigning Spanish champion was able to cheer against Atletico Madrid early on. Diego Costa’s own goal led the FCB 1-0 (11th). Less than ten minutes later, the guests equalised 1-1 with a transformed foul penalty from Saul Niguez (19th). After that, things calmed down in the square. The Rojiblancos liked the defensive role and Quique Setien’s team no longer found the gap. Shortly before the intermission whistle Oblak held a deflected free kick from Messi (42nd). Five minutes after restarting, the world star then fouled the Catalans 2-1. It was Messis 700. Career goal. On the other side shortly afterwards there was the third penalty of the game – 2:2 Saul Niguez (62.). Barca was of course not satisfied with the result – Vidal gave two good opportunities for leadership (71st, 75th). The Madrilenes, however, hardly allowed anything more and earned one point in Camp Nou.
The Setien-Elf has won only one of the last four games in the La Liga (three draws), but has also been undefeated for seven games (four wins, three scores). Lately there was only one triple from the last four guest appearances – Real Madrid (0:2), RCD Mallorca (4:0). FC Sevilla (0-0), Celta Vigo (2-2). So far, there have been six away wins, five draws and five bankruptcies. Barca has the best attacking streak in Spain (74 goals in the season) and with Leo Messi the most striking player in his own ranks. The Argentinian leads the league’s goalscorer list with 22 goals.
Ousmane Dembele is injured and will be missing in Villarreal. This means that Barca can compete almost with the best eleven.

Although FC Barcelona is a favourite for victory at FC Villarreal, momentum speaks a different language. The yellow submarine plays really well after the Corona break and is undefeated since then (five wins out of six games). The home games were also promising recently, with only one defeat from six home appearances. The Catalans won only once from the last four games and also split twice in a row, 2-2 from Celta Vigo and Atletico Madrid. In the final sprint of the season, the Setien-Elf can no longer afford to take a break, otherwise the royals from Madrid are as good as champions. We recommend a goal rich encounter at the Estadio de la Ceramica, where Barca wins the three points. Linked to this, we recommend winning 3-way bets on Barcelona for this La Liga Tipp forecast.
