After a disappointing 1-0 defeat against Athletic Bilbao, Barcelona, still without Messi, will be looking to return to their winning ways as they host Villarreal at Camp Nou.

BARCELONA

Barcelona has been playing non consistent ever since Leo Messi suffered an injury. They have beaten Celtic 6-1 in their previous Champions League game with Neymar being man of the match after scoring a hat-trick. Barcelona has always been very strong while playing at home and they will certainly look to continue their winning run at Nou Camp to 23 games.

VILLARREAL

It is well known that Villarreal often struggles while playing away games. They have been playing surprisingly well the whole season and are now in a position to fight for a place in one of the European competitions. They were occupying the Champions League place at the table prior to the unlucky 1-1 draw against Malaga. Villarreal seem like they are not as good as they were at the beginning of the season and face a tough game against Barcelona.

Barcelona-Villareal Prediction

Barcelona is leveled on points with A. Madrid and 3 points ahead of their rivals, Real Madrid, which means that the game on Saturday will carry a huge importance for Martino's team. Even without Messi, Barcelona are clear favorites here.

Barcelona-Villareal best bet: Barca to win.
