Betting Preview: Villarreal vs Barcelona: Away Win Likely

Spanish La Liga champions Barcelona can take a major step towards retaining their league title with a win over struggling Villarreal in their meeting on Tuesday night.

Barcelona have a ten-point lead over nearest challengers Atletico Madrid at the moment and an away win over the Yellow Submarines will edge them closer to the finish line as far as the La Liga title is concerned.

Atletico Madrid and city rivals Real Madrid have failed to match the consistency shown by Barcelona since the start of the season.

It’s only a matter of time before Barcelona wrap up their second successive title under the guidance of manager Ernesto Valverde.
