Prediction: 1-3
Barcelona
All eyes will be on Estadio de la Ceramica when Villarreal and Barcelona face each other in the La Liga round 32. The Yellow Submarine aim to stay in the Europa League race, but given their display in a 2-1 loss to Deportivo Alaves, we do not believe that punters can find value in betting on the home side. Pervis Estupinan should be the only absentee in the home team.
Barca, on the other hand, recorded a routine 5-2 win over Getafe on Thursday evening, with the team keeping their title hopes alive. Leo Messi impressed in the midweek fixture, with the Argentine superstar scoring a brace, and we are positive that he will prove a handful for the opposition defenders. Since Ronald Koeman can count on key players for Sunday’s clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Catalan giants.
Highlighted Player (Ramiro Funes Mori):
Argentina isn’t known to produce great talents in defence but Ramiro Jose Funes Mori is an exception. The 25-year-old started his football career in the United States with FC Dallas. He won an MLS talent competition to get into their youth team but it was less than a year before he moved back to Argentina.
Mori joined River Plate as a youth player in 2008 and progressed to their senior team within three years. The young defender is nothing short of a club legend at River Plate having won six titles with the team. More than the titles and his performances, it was his performances in important games that is still vividly remembered.
His iconic goal against Boca Juniors is still part of the folklore. Mori joined English Premier League club Everton in 2015 and soon established himself as a regular there. Mori represented Argentina seven times and yet to score in national colors.
Highlighted Team (Barcelona):
Barcelona is a Spanish football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia. Barca were founded in 1899 and they are regarded as one of the greatest clubs in world football. The Catalan giants won their 24th La Liga title in 2016, with Luis Suarez winning “El Pichichi” award. Barcelona have won five European Cup trophies and a number of top-class players were part of the team in the past.
The likes of Hristo Stoichkov, Romario, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Johan Cruyff, Diego Maradona and Pep Guardiola are some of many players that played for Barca in the past, but, no doubt, Leo Messi has established himself as the club’s trademark. Barcelona welcome their rivals at Camp Nou, the stadium that was built in 1957.
Barcelona’s local rivals are Espanyol, but the rivalry between Barca and Real Madrid is much bigger. The two La Liga giants face each other in “El Clasico”, which is considered one of the most exciting derbies in the world football. Barca are famous for their football youth school La Masia as well.
