- Venue: Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys
FC Barcelona became La Liga champions for the 28th time in the club's history after beating city rivals Espanyol on Thursday.
Hans-Dieter Flick’s team will celebrate their title win on Sunday against Villarreal at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. It will be FC Barcelona’s last home game of the 2024/25 season.
Barcelona secured their 28th La Liga title with a 2-0 victory over Espanyol in the final round, their sixth win in a row. Villarreal, on the other hand, have practically secured a place in next season’s Champions League after beating Leganes 3-0 on Thursday.
Barcelona - Villarreal Betting Tips: Barcelona to Win
Barcelona are expected to be a little hungover after confirming their title win on Thursday following their victory over Espanyol. On Sunday, they will face a hungry Villarreal side who will be looking to secure their place in the top five with a top performance against the champions as they are currently on a four-game winning streak in La Liga.
Barcelona have done very well in La Liga in recent months, going unbeaten in their last 15 games, but it seems plausible that the title celebrations and Villarreal’s impressive form of late could lead to them conceding at least one goal, which is why we're betting on both teams to score on Sunday.
