While Villarreal also plays good football away from home, their defensive line will need to be solid against FC Barcelona's attacking prowess. With the uncertainty surrounding the outcome given the current form of both teams, the home team has a good chance of coming away with all three points.
In terms of goal-scoring averages this season, FC Barcelona has been particularly potent with an average of 2.7 goals per game, while Villarreal has averaged 1.8 goals per game. This suggests that the home team may have the upper hand in terms of offensive capabilities.
