Barcelona – Villarreal, Prediction – La Liga

| 7 of Barça’s last 8 games have ended with over 2.5 goals

| 4 of the last 5 matches between Barça and Villarreal have ended with over 2.5 goals

✳️ Barcelona took 3 wins in their 3 friendly matches before the start of the season

Suarez left Barcelona in tears after Koeman explained that he would not be a major part of the squad. He is already an Atletico player. Arthur, Semedo, Perez, Rakitic, Vidal, Turan and Cucurella are other players who are no longer part of the team. The main incoming transfers for the club are Pjanic from Juventus as part of the deal with Arthur, as well as the young talent, Trincão, from Braga.

✔️ Emery started with a difficult victory over Eibar in the last round

Villarreal have made a lot of transfers this summer. Coquelin and Estupinan from Valencia and Watford, respectively, are the top 2 newcomers to the yellow submarine. Ecambi, Yunal and Gonzalez left the club. Most importantly, the new coach of the club is Emery, who had a successful period in Sevilla before going to PSG years ago. Villarreal won 2-1 against Eibar in the first match.

There are almost always a lot of goals in this match

 Expert view: Koeman’s great desire to rejuvenate Barça’s squad is impressive, and the hiring of some youngsters is proof of that. There is time until the end of the transfer window and most likely there will be more new incoming and outgoing transfers. It is important to mention that Coutinho is expected to be an important part of the squad this season. We think that in their first match Barcelona will start with a victory, but it is more likely that it will come with a lot of goals, as Villarreal usually play offensively and aggressively against them and there is no shortage of goals. Prediction – Over 2.5 goals at 1.50.
