Villarreal has lost only 1 of their last 10 home matches in La Liga. Barcelona has won their last 5 away matches in La Liga in a row. Last season, both matches between Barcelona and Villarreal were thrilling. In Barcelona, Villarreal won 5-3, while at Villarreal's home, Barcelona triumphed 4-3.

Villarreal 

Last season, Villarreal failed to qualify for European competitions for the first time in a long while. However, the team’s performance improved significantly under head coach Marcelino García Toral, who returned to Villarreal during the season. For the new season, the ‘Yellow Submarine’ clearly has the goal of qualifying for at least the Europa League, and the team’s potential supports this aim.

Villarreal has had an excellent start to the current season. In their first 5 matches, Villarreal went unbeaten and collected 11 points. Real Madrid and Atlético have identical records. Throughout the season, Villarreal has already managed to draw 2-2 with Atlético and 1-1 with Valencia, as well as defeating Mallorca (2-1), Sevilla (2-1), and Celta (4-3).

Barcelona

Absolutely everyone in Europe praises Barcelona’s new head coach Hansi Flick for the work he has done with this struggling team at the start of the season. The Catalans continue to deal with the aftermath of financial issues that began during the presidency of José Bartomeu. As a result, Barcelona signed only one player over the summer, despite numerous rumors. Dani Olmo returned to Barça from RB Leipzig.

But even such problems did not prevent Barcelona from winning all 5 of their opening matches in this La Liga season. The Catalans successively defeated Valencia (2-1), Athletic Bilbao (2-1), Rayo Vallecano (2-1), Valladolid (7-0), and Girona (2-1). Meanwhile, Barcelona continues to rely on La Masia graduates, with Lamine Yamal emerging as a key player.

However, in the Champions League, Barça faced a setback in the first round. Playing with ten men from the 10th minute, Hansi Flick’s team lost to Monaco 1-2.
