Barcelona Villarreal betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this game is the existence of several goals. In this match, it will be normal for the home team to dominate ball possession and attack in a more organized way, as they have a much superior squad than their opponent. On the other hand, Villarreal comes to this match motivated to surprise the opponent and in addition they have a very strong counterattack. That said, and taking into account these factors, betting in favor of the ''Over 3 Goals'' market in this game is a good option.
