Villarreal are eager to claim a major scalp in La Liga round 17, but given their recent negative record against Barcelona at Estadio de la Ceramica, 2-3 is our predicted outcome for Sunday’s derby. The Yellow Submarine were not in action at the weekend as their clash with Levante was postponed due to bad weather. Villarreal, though, have been averaging 2.50 goals per game at home of late and we are positive that they will find the net against Barca. There are no fresh injury worries for the home team, while duo Pape Gueye – Ilias Akhomach is on international duty.
The Catalan giants, on the other hand, are leading the chase for their 29th La Liga title. As Barcelona have been scoring 3.00 goals per game on the road, BTTS seems like a sure bet. Anyhow, Hansi Flick’s men are brimming with confidence following seven consecutive La Liga wins. The fact that Flick has no fresh injury worries goes in favour of our betting prediction.
With both Villarreal and Barcelona scoring goals for fun of late, we are tempted to place our bets on Over 3.5 goals, with additional value on Barcelona to Win due to their six-game winning run at Estadio de la Ceramica.
This Primera Division match will be played on Sunday 21 December 2025 at 15:15.
