Barcelona has been experiencing problems of late. First, the Catalans failed to win a single match against Inter Milan, making life in the Champions League group stage difficult. In the meantime, it is fair to say that team's participation in the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League playoffs is highly questionable. Until the last round, Barcelona had at least been leading the league, overcoming the negative of their performance in the Champions League. Still, since their defeat by Real Madrid, the Blues have slumped to second place, losing them by three points. Real Madrid faces Elche, a La Liga underdog in the current fixture, and we doubt the reigning champions will lose any points in this encounter. Accordingly, Barcelona must beat the harsh side at Camp Nou to keep pace with the winner on Thursday.
Villarreal
Unlike Barcelona, the players were in high spirits for their game in Catalonia. A week ago, they beat Austria away to a narrow victory and not only guaranteed first place in their Conference League group. Now, the visitors can concentrate fully on La Liga, as they did at Osasuna. On 17 October, Villarreal beat Osasuna 2:0 to move up to the seventh place. If they beat Barcelona, they will catch up with Atlético de Madrid in the UEFA competition. The away statistics for the Yellows are sixth in the division, +2=2-2, 5:2 goal difference.
Expert Betting Tips
In recent times, Barcelona's scoring output has dropped from the start of the season, whereas Real Madrid's attack is now the best in the division. However, this situation might change after the next round; everything depends on how their opponents perform on this matchday. After the defeat at the hands of Real Madrid and the loss of the league lead, we expect the Catalans to be as active as possible. A loss against the Reds is unacceptable. Moreover, the Blues need a win to regain their confidence after defeats against the Flames and Inter Milan in the Champions League.
