Barcelona vs Villarreal Prediction and Betting Tips | 22nd May 2022

Barcelona will end their 2021-22 La Liga campaign with a home game against Villarreal on Sunday.

Their second place in the league was confirmed last week after Atletico Madrid played out a 1-1 draw against Sevilla. The game is now just a mere formality for the Blaugrana, who played out a dour goalless draw against Getafe last time around.

However, this game is an important one for Villarreal, as they need a win to confirm their spot in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers. They fell to a 2-1 loss to Real Sociedad last time around and will look to return to winning ways against the Blaugrana.

Barcelona vs Villarreal Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Barcelona vs Villarreal Prediction

Barcelona had a disappointing game against Getafe last time around, recording just one shot on target. Securing a win is no longer a priority for the club, though, and with a lengthy injury list at the moment, manager Xavi will likely field a young starting XI.

Villarreal, meanwhile, have scored eight goals in their last three away league games, so they should be able to capitalise on a weakened Blaugrana team. While Villarreal have not been able to beat Barcelona in over 14 years, they could take all three points from this game, as the stakes are higher for them.

Prediction: Barcelona 1-2 Villarreal.
