Barcelona faces a tough away game against Villarreal on this Sunday. Having stripped of their dominant aura, Barca now suffers the plight of the monarchs who are forced to live as common men. Each game becomes a hazard for them now. They cannot win the title even if they win all their remaining matches. Ironically, it they win all their remaining matches, their arch rivals Real Madrid may win the crown.

Villarreal will end the season on a happy note, irrespective of what happens in this game. They are seventh at the moment and secure in that position, which is good enough to fetch them a Europa qualifying position.

This will be an emotional game for the Barca players and their supporters, following the untimely death of their former coach Tito Vilanova at the age of 45. The team will want to win this one as homage to the expired coach.

They play Atletico Madrid on the last day of the league. Barca needs to keep on winning to keep that match relevant. They have a fantastic recent H2H statistics against Villarreal, as they are unbeaten in the last nine games. But that streak signifies only a glorious past than any sort of current dominance.

Neymar, Carles Puyol, Jordi Alba and Gerard Pique will miss the match for Barca. Villarreal’s prolific striker Ikechukwu Uche too is a doubtful starter.

Villarreal-Barcelona Prediction

Messi will want to win this for his former coach. So will Iniesta. But there are question marks over the quality of the rest of the squad. If Villarreal plays well enough, Barca is there for the taking.
