Barcelona Aims for 6th Straight La Liga Win Against Villarreal
Barcelona will look to extend their winning streak in La Liga to six matches as they face Villarreal on Sunday. Despite a disappointing 2-1 loss to Monaco in their Champions League opener, the Catalans have dominated domestically.
Villarreal, also unbeaten in the league, will aim to continue their momentum after a victory over Mallorca. However, they will be without several key players due to injuries and suspensions.
Team News:
- Villarreal: Alfonso Pedraza may return from injury, but Sergi Cardona is likely to start at left-back. Gerard Moreno, Juan Foyth, and Willy Kambwala remain sidelined.
- Barcelona: Dani Olmo’s injury has prompted changes in the midfield. Gavi is close to returning, but Ferran Torres is suspended. Several other players are also out due to injuries.
Predicted Lineups:
- Villarreal: Conde (GK), Kiko, Albiol, Costa, Cardona, Akhomach, Comesana, Parejo, Baena, A. Perez, Barry
- Barcelona: Ter Stegen (GK), Kounde, Cubarsi, Martinez, Balde, Pedri, Casado, Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Raphinha, Lewandowski
