Barcelona will face off against Villarreal at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys Stadium, Barcelona in the Week 22 match of the 2023-2024 La Liga on Saturday, January 27, 2024. The Barcelona vs Villarreal match can be watched live streaming, here is complete information.
FC Barcelona, under the guidance of coach Xavi Hernandez, is facing difficult times. The big defeat in Bilbao has made the chair of the former coach of Al Sadd, a club from Saudi Arabia, start to shake. Within 10 days, Barcelona had failed in two main competitions, the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey. In La Liga, they are far behind by Girona and Real Madrid.
However, Barca – as Barcelona is known, has a strong home record. Of the 10 La Liga matches this season, they have won 8 times and lost only 2 times. The two defeats came against Real and Girona. With a match against Villarreal on the horizon, Barca will be hoping to capitalize on their home ground advantage.
On the other hand, Villarreal also faced quite a lot of problems in the first half of this season. They have just won 20 points from 21 matches and are only 5 points ahead of the relegation zone. They have not won in their last 4 matches and have only won 1 in their last 7 La Liga matches.
Facing their 22nd La Liga match, Barca faces a big challenge in terms of player fitness. Alejandro Balde and Andreas Christensen, their two defensive stars, are injured. Marcos Alonso, Inigo Martinez, Ter Stegen, Gavi and Raphinha are also unable to play. Ronald Araujo also has a minor injury and may not be in the best condition if he has to play.
Villarreal also faces similar challenges. Their injury list includes Raul Albiol, Juan Foyth, Yeremy Pino and Denis Suarez. Aissa Mandi is currently representing the Algerian national team at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Barca is clearly the favorite to win the three points in this match. The reason is because Villarreal have only won once at Barca’s home ground since 2009. Barca have also scored goals in 21 of their last 23 matches against Villarreal at home. These statistics show that Barca has a historical and strong advantage when playing at home.
However, with so many injuries and pressure, this match may not be easy for either team. The Catalans need a win to rebuild their confidence, while Villarreal need points to move away from the relegation zone.
