Following their shock defeat at Alaves in midweek, Villarreal will look to pick themselves up from their ruins, as they head into this pivotal fixture. Despite their midweek slump, their quest for the Europa League qualification still remains on track.

Meanwhile, Barcelona continue to challenge for league glory, and they will hope to take inspiration from their most recent victory - a convincing win over Getafe on Thursday. With the Copa del Rey already in the bag, winning the league title would be a perfect end to what has been a trying season.

Villarreal vs Barcelona Team News

Villarreal are currently occupying seventh position on the league table, while they sit one point adrift fifth-placed Real Sociedad, as they continue to challenge for Europa League football through their league position. That said, it could get better for them in terms of their search for continental football, if they manage to go all the way to clinch the title in this current Europa League season.

Although their progress in Europe often go under the radar, Villarreal have been simply brilliant in Europe's second tier competition. Obviously, they would have an eye on their first-leg tie with Arsenal in the semifinals next week, and how this impending fixture would affect Unai Emery's decisions in team selection for this Barcelona clash remains to be seen.

As earlier stated, Villarreal were dealt a disappointing 2-1 defeat against Alaves who grabbed the winner in the 80th minute courtesy of a Edgar Mendez's goal. Although this loss marks their second defeat in their last three league games, the Yellow Submarine have won four of their last six matches in the La Liga.

Barcelona, meanwhile, got their title charge back on track with a strong performance against Getafe on Thursday. It all ended in a 5-2 victory for the Blaugrana who returned to winning ways following their 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid a fortnight ago.

Having amassed a massive total of 68 points from 31 league games, Barcelona currently sit in third-place on the log, five points adrift the top spot occupied by Atletico Madrid who have played a game more. Their early elimination from the Champions League might come off as a blessing at this point, as the final games of the title run-in comes in thick and fast.

Ronald Koeman will be delighted by his side's performance on Thursday, and he will be charging his men to build on this momentum. And having won seven of their last eight La Liga matches, Barcelona won't be bereft of confidence to gain an important victory here.

The Blaugrana were victorious in the reverse fixture which happened to be their first match of the season. Furthermore, the scoreline read 4-0 at full-time, as Villarreal were picked apart by Barça.

Injured or Suspended Players

Villarreal: Vicente Iborra and Pervis Estupinan.

Villarreal vs Barcelona Predictions

Unsurprisingly, Barcelona boast the best attacking record in the Spanish top flight, having scored a massive 74 goals in 31 league games. When Messi gets in his groove, the miniature magician is almost impossible to stop.

With the Argentinian in tip-top form, Villarreal will surely struggle to prevent Barcelona from scoring goals. The Blaugrana should sweep the hosts aside to keep up the pressure on league leaders Atletico Madrid.
