Barcelona face Villarreal in La Liga of Spain on May 18. Kickoff is scheduled for 17:00 UTC.
8 months after their last meeting in La Liga, Barcelona and Villarreal renew their battle. In their last encounter, Barcelona secured a 1-5 win. Following a recent loss to Inter Milan last Tuesday, Barcelona aim to regroup and turn things around in this upcoming clash. Their upcoming schedule leading up to Villarreal includes Espanyol and Real Madrid in La Liga, fixtures that are likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with Villarreal. If they aim to regain control of matches, defensive adjustments will be necessary, given that their backline remains a concern, conceding goals in their last four matches in a row.
Villarreal, by contrast, enter the match on a positive note, having secured two victories in a row against Osasuna and Espanyol in their last two outings. All the same, their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last four away matches. Before facing Barcelona, Villarreal will face Leganes and Girona in La Liga, games that could impact their momentum heading into the match against Barcelona.
This La Liga match offers a platform for Barcelona and Villarreal’s goal-scorers to step up and leave their mark on the contest. Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski have been pivotal for Barcelona’s attack, with Hans-Dieter Flick steering the side, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Lewandowski has already scored 25 goals in La Liga this season, with Yamal leading their creative tally in the league with twelve assists. Barcelona’s offense has also been strengthened by Ferran Torres, Dani Olmo and Fermin Lopez, who have provided crucial contributions in the final third.
Meanwhile, Villarreal’s top finisher Ayoze Perez and Alex Baena have played important roles in ensuring their attack, carefully orchestrated by Marcelino, remains effective. With sixteen goals in La Liga, Perez is Villarreal’s top scorer in the league, as Baena continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with eight assists. Thierno Barry, Yeremi Pino and Nicolas Pepe have supported the attack well, combining for important goals and assists throughout the campaign.
