On Sunday, 18 May 2025, FC Barcelona host Villarreal at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Matchday 37 of La Liga. Kick-off is at 19:00 MESZ for Italy, Germany, France and Spain, and 18:00 BST in the UK, promising an exciting evening of top-flight action.
The Catalans sit seven points clear at the summit and are on the verge of lifting their 28th La Liga title, while Villarreal are vying for a top-four finish to secure a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League. With both sides known for their attacking intent, this fixture could once again produce goals and drama.
Wie kommen beide Teams ins Spiel?
Barcelona arrive in imperious form after a thrilling 4-3 Clásico win over Real Madrid, a result that all but sealed the title race in their favour. Under Hansi Flick, the hosts have blended defensive solidity with creative attacking play, ensuring they remain unbeaten in their last ten league outings.
Villarreal have also enjoyed a strong campaign and currently occupy fifth place, just one point shy of the top four. The Yellow Submarine boast a potent front line and have claimed important victories on the road, making them a dangerous opponent even in an away fixture.
Unsere Prognose
Given Barcelona’s rich vein of form and the importance of a win to confirm the title, they start as heavy favourites. Expect the hosts to control possession and create numerous chances, especially in the wide areas where they have been most effective this season.
However, Villarreal’s flair going forward means this should not be a one-sided affair. We foresee a high-scoring game with both teams finding the net. A market such as “Both Teams to Score” or “Over 2.5 Goals” could offer solid value for bettors.
