Match Preview

La Liga holders Barcelona welcome Villarreal to Camp Nou on Tuesday as they look to bounce back from a shock defeat to recently promoted Granada, who currently sit at the top of the standings.La Blaugrana head into the clash in poor form, having won just two of their last five fixtures, both of which were 5-2 victories against Real Betis and Valencia.Villarreal, meanwhile, cruised past Valladolid 2-0 to record their second La Liga win of the season, Javier Calleja’s side showing their dominance in a performance that suggested they may well have the tools to beat Barcelona on Tuesday evening.

Team News And Statistics

BARCELONA

Star forward Lionel Messi featured in Barca’s 2-0 loss to Granada as a substitute and it’s likely the Argentinian will be fit enough to start.Left back Jordi Alba pulled his hamstring in the Champions League and should be out of action for a few weeks, while Ousmane Dembele is closing in on a comeback.Defender Samuel Umtiti is expected to remain sidelined for at least another month with a foot problem.
Barcelona have made a slow start to the season without their talismanic figure Messi, losing on the opening day to Aritz Aduriz’s incredible effort for Athletic Club, only drawing with Osasuna and losing their most recent fixture against Granada.5-2 wins over Real Betis and Valencia have been more convincing, but their goalless draw at the Westfalenstadion against Dortmund last week was uninspiring – they were fortunate not to lose.

VILLARREAL

Villarreal, meanwhile, are without two players – Alberto Moreno and Bruno Soriano – thanks to respective muscle and leg injuries.

Villarreal have pretty much the same form coming into this fixture, having drawn once, winning and losing twice each. However, they have won two on the bounce, so should head into this match with plenty of confidence
