Villarreal – Barcelona. Forecast and announcement for the match of the Spanish championship

On September 22, “Keramika” will host a match of the 6th round of Primera, in which “Villarreal” will meet with “Barcelona”. The match will start at 19:30 Kyiv time.

Villarreal

The team experienced a difficult last season, eventually finishing in eighth place, remaining for the first time in recent years without European Cups. In the summer, several key players also left, including the main goalkeeper Jorgensen and the second scorer of last season Serlot. But there are also many newcomers, including quite famous ones – Pepe, Kambwala, Bernat. It is worth highlighting Ayose Perez, who goes out and scores important goals in his new club. In particular, it was thanks to him that the submariners managed to get off to a very good start. Only Atlético and Valencia did not lose to the yellow submarine, they played in productive draws. All other opponents were beaten, albeit with battles: 2:1 each against Sevilla and Mallorca on the road and 4:3 against Celta at home.

Barcelona

After the trophyless last season, the club had a not particularly beautiful farewell to its legend, Xava. He was replaced by Hansy Flick, a specialist who is quite experienced and successful, but failed in the German national team. And the first time he came to work in Spain. At the same time, finances have not become easier in Catalonia – we remember the large-scale works at Camp Nou. As a result, the Blue Garnets were able to sign and register only one newcomer, Dana Olmo. At the same time, it was necessary to cut the payroll, for which, among other things, Gundongan was released. But this did not prevent them from making the best start in recent years: 5 victories in the first 5 matches with a total score of 14:4. In the Champions League, Monaco provided a cold shower against such a background. Despite all the reservations and explanations, such as Eric Garcia’s early removal, the French were able to win sensationally at home.

Statistics of personal meetings

The blue-garnets had three victories in a row, but in January they lost at home to the submariners 3:5.

Forecast

Bookmakers do not believe in the second consecutive failure of Flik’s wards. Let’s agree and bet that the guests will win here (coefficient – 1.85).
