Barcelona will be out to make up for the El-Clasico defeat against Real Madrid when they host Villarreal in their upcoming La Liga match at Camp Nou on Thursday.
Villarreal will look to continue in their winning ways after the two consecutive victories against Austria Vienna in the Europa Conference League and against Osasuna in La Liga when they face wounded Barcelona at Camp Nou.
IMPORTANT STATS:
BARCELONA:
Barcelona was the deserved loser against Real Madrid in their last game and would aim to win against the Yellow Submarines to remain competitive in La Liga.
Barcelona has suffered a dip in form of late and they have not been able to tidy up matches in their usual way following the back-to-back drop of vital points in the Champions League and in the domestic scene.
The Camp Nou outfit won just only one match in their last five outing in all competitions and would have a lot to handle when they host Villarreal.
