Almeria is convincing against Girona. At the moment it is 3-0 at half time and things are going smoothly for Almeria. For this match, Almeria was almost at the bottom of the competition, with this win they rise to 12th place. Elche seems by far the weakest team in the competition now. 3 points out of 10 games is of course very little, and there will not be many points for the time being. I'm still curious if things will get better with Sevilla soon, because they have 10 points and are actually much too low for their level. They should at least reach European football with that team they have.

There is still a match between Osasuna vs Espanyol, if Espanyol succeeds in stealing points from Osasuna, then Almeria is in 13th position for a while. But Almeria in this match indeed was quite impressive in the first half the score was 3-0 is a classy team, but also in the second half so far they haven't got a score again, only Girona got score so is 3-2 and Almeria has dropped to 14th position. Yeah Elche so far very weakest team, matchday 11 also they will travel to Cornellà-El Prat Stadium, I doubt they can steal points against Espanyol.

Their first half ended in a draw and I was quite sleepy watching this match.
Osasuna as a home club is indeed more dominant in possession but it is very rare to see opportunities in this match so it becomes too monotonous in my opinion to see.
The ball kept spinning in midfield which made me sleepy and probably won't be watching the second half.

Of course Barcelona could have conceded and dropped points in that match, but I think Xavi's team are much more likely to be favorites at home. Barcelona's probabilities are better, but the final score will be decisive. I hope everything goes well for them, but it would be great if Barcelona dropped points again, that's an advantage for Real Madrid.

With Villarreal's condition in La Liga of course I'm still quite doubtful even with them being able to score goals.
In the last 5 matches they were only able to score 3 goals which is obviously not very good in my opinion.
Their focus in this match is only defending and maximizing the draw in this match and it is quite difficult because seeing from the squad that Xavi has deployed in this match it is very difficult to stem especially with the trio of Ansu, Lewandowski and Ferran Torres.

This is being an unusual week with clear favourites scoring a draw versus mediocre teams (Getafe-Athletic Bilbao and Atlético Madrid-Rayo Vallecano), so I wouldn't be surprised if Barça got a draw too against Villarreal, especially after losing the Clásico. Time will tell, it is just an hour left to start the match, but perhaps their last result will condition their morale.

I dont see this because it should be with the arrival of Kounde and De Jong for Barcelona now Xavi should have been able to make a breakthrough again.
Villarreal are quite solid in defense but in the last few games they have not been very good so this should be maximized well by Barcelona especially they need a win to catch Madrid and grow their confidence back.

This season Villarreal have had great results away from home. From 9 matches, Unai Emery's team managed to get 8 points in away matches. These statistics must be considered by Barcelona.

When talking about certain records, then you also need to pay attention that Barcelona actually has a good record at home too. No defeats and no goals conceded where 3 from 4 of the matches were won and the other 1 was a draw against Rayo Vallecano. Isn't that something Villareal should think about?

Of course Barcelona could have conceded and dropped points in that match, but I think Xavi's team are much more likely to be favorites at home.

Against Barcelona, it is clear that Villarreal will do defensively as Emery usually does when facing big teams.

If Villarreal play with a defensive style, of course they will lose, because giving Barcelona the chance to have possession of the ball endangers their goal. Of course the Barcelona game must be faced with an attacking style, and a quick counter-attack.

The name of us as viewers can only comment based on our views. But the club manager will do what is best for their team. I think their ability to analyze the opponent is much higher than ours.

In the last 9 matches, Barcelona only suffered one defeat and one draw. Of course the team is still strong in terms of play compared to Villarreal. During Xavi's time as Barcelona coach, in May 2021, Villarreal had won with a 2-0 result. Although in the home game for Villarreal suffered a 3-1 defeat. That is, there have been changes during Xavi as coach of Barcelona.

So, will Barcelona's home match be dominated by Villarreal in today's match? Or Villarreal go home with a loss.

Today's match Barcelona vs Villarreal looks very interesting. The visitors were in weaker form lately, but in the last game they finally won against Osasuna and it seems that they are forgetting about the crisis. They badly need points if they still dream of reaching the Champions League. Barcelona's goal is unchanged: competing with Real for the Spanish championship. After yesterday's matches Barcelona's loss to the leader is already 6 points, so Barcelona must win in today's match.

Even though Barcelona's game has decreased, their opponents Villarreal are also in the same condition even worse than what Barcelona experienced. They should be able to win this match so as not to be further adrift than real Madrid who won the match first this week. Now the distance of 6 points will be difficult for them to catch if in this match they do not get 3 points.

Yes, Barcelona's level of play has dropped significantly. Villarreal have been playing much more consistently in recent games. Especially now Barcelona have injured players and the team has lost a lot of strength after the games with Inter and Real Madrid. Therefore, I think they could have another setback tonight.

ALM 2 v 0 GIR.
Can't even imagine this awesome play by Batistao and E. B Toure, under 18 minutes, this shows more goals is possible before 2nd half.
I never expected this much from Almeria and is an eye opening to Girona

I don't think so. In football, there are no easy games.
Every match is crucial for Barca because, after October 30th, there will be XaviOut or Xaviball.
Barcelona risked it all. Lost El Clasico and a dramatic draw with Inter Milan gave Barcelona a lifeline.
Now, Villareal. Hopefully, Barca doesn't lose and qualify for the round of 16. Let's wait and see the score.

Xavi understands the precariousness of his position and, judging by his latest interview, he is calm about his possible dismissal. He said that he would be sympathetic to the dismissal because Barcelona must fight for trophies and the head coach must achieve this. Now every unsuccessful game can be the last straw - even in La Liga, even in the Champions League. Everyone expects Barcelona to win and not just “regular” like over Villarreal, where the victory is “must be” but also in the next game with Bayern, even if this does not affect the outcome of the group stage.

sometimes people complain for no reason, let's see the current statistics from barcelon:

barcelona played 9 games and had 7 wins, 1 draw and only one loss. scored 21 goals and conceded only 4 goals

even real madrid conceded 8 goals, and twice as many goals as barcelona conceded, I'm a fan of real madrid but I think people shouldn't exaggerate talking about things like firing xavi, barcelona is having good results, and that's it It's a fact. people's problem is that they want to see barcelona being superior to real madrid to the point of having a big difference in points, but that is an exaggeration, since years there was always time when real madrid won and other times fell and the barcelona would win and at other times fall.

tiki taka strategy is not effective to face the fully defensive strategy.

I think it's time for Barcelona to forget about old strategies and focus on creating new strategies, soccer also evolves in terms of strategies, so Barcelona needs to play thinking about scoring goals and not about finishing the game with greater possession of the ball. , it's even preferable to be a team that doesn't have the majority of possession of the ball but that scores many goals, it's no use having a beautiful soccer when at the end of the game they lose. what matters in soccer Is scoring goals and winning the game

Barcelona - Villarreal is an interesting game tonight.

Barcelona lost a game finally after many weeks. The El Clasico loss might affect them badly maybe but I still expect them to improve their performance against Villarreal. Villarreal are still struggling with injuries and this will make things even more difficult for them here. Barcelona need to win to prevent the point gap with Real Madrid from increasing more. They lost to Villarreal in Camp Nou in their last head-to-head game. But I expect Barcelona to make up for that by getting a win. I've added their win @1.46 to my betslip.

You can be sure that Barcelona will beat Villarreal. Because they are a much better team than Villarreal. But Villarreal will try to take advantage of Barcelona's defense weakness. But I think Villarreal will play defensively to get a draw.

If Villareal ends up playing to Barcelona’s defensive weakness, but also want to play defensively, they could do what smaller clubs have done against bigger clubs for decades and play counter attack system.

Have 2 fast wingers who come back to help with the wing backs, and could run very fast to help on attacks, have one striker who can shoot well but also a good passer, and that mean you could defend all game, and if you get the ball then just pass it long and hope that those three could somehow score. That has been the tactic for smaller clubs for many years so far and I am guessing that it will be what Villareal will play with in this game as well, no brainer decision.

Don't forget, Benzema scored 3 goals, but only one counts. In minute 6 and minute 60 both goals were disallowed for offside... Beznema maybe despaired. But in the 75 minute his goal counts. It was a game of the best against the worst in the league and that 3-0 is okay... there are 3 points and the next game on 22.10. vs FC Sevilla becomes difficult.

I don't even know if VAR technology makes winning in football easier or more difficult. Imagine 3 goals disallowed? I can only imagine how frustrated Benzema would have felt. I felt really happy when, through sheer persistence, Benzema found the back of the net this time and sort of made a mockery of the VAR. In sum, I believe that the VAR helps weak teams with porous defence.

After losing to Real Madrid, Barcelona clearly wants to win against Villarreal. I also have a prediction that Barcelona will win.
Learning from the defeat when they were beaten by Real Madrid, Barcelona must improve their defense, which is their weak point in my opinion.
Villareal came to Camp Nou with the winning spirit obtained when they beat Osasuna 2-0 in their last match.

It will not be easy for Barcelona to get the desired victory, although Barcelona is considered to have quality above Villarreal this season which makes Barcelona the favorite to win.

At this matchday, I will not mention the results obtained by Villarreal against Barcelona last season because Barcelona's condition had slumped in the middle of the season before Xavi replaced Ronald Koeman as coach.
This season Villarreal have had great results away from home. From 9 matches, Unai Emery's team managed to get 8 points in away matches. These statistics must be considered by Barcelona.

On paper Barcelona are superior in all aspects over Villarreal in the 10th meeting in Jordana this season so it is very natural that some posts from members of this forum are more in favor of Barcelona will be able to win this match and of course strong support is the atmosphere at Camp Nou which can be a strong grip Barcelona will be able to secure 3 points in the match against Villarrel. In addition, Villarreal, who are the guests in this match, of course they will try to give a tough fight in this match, especially the defense line will be the focus of Unai Emery to withstand the onslaught of attacks from Lewandowski et al.

Osasuna's victory should be a trigger for them at least they should be able to take one point even though this is difficult.

It seems like that villareal needs to use counter attack strategy against barcelona. Villareal is still facing hard time with its performance. In my opinion if barcelona will be getting full points, there is always a chance for villareal to win against barcelona but i think that it's having a small chance. The fact that if barcelona is always having a tough game when it must have faced a fully defensive team. tiki taka strategy is not effective to face the fully defensive strategy.
Long pass strategy may become a good thing for that but i doubt barcelona's player has capability to do that.

You are correct. The match between Barcelona and Villarreal will be great. Everyone will favor Barcelona in this match, as they are in better form than Villarreal. Barcelona's team has the power to beat smaller teams easily. Xavi will need to implement more tactics to take Barcelona to the best position.

Is there anything I m missing?
I thought match is to start by
17:55 for Almeria v Girona
19:55 for Barcelona v V' Real.
Please correct me if I m wrong, I m using app to stream live matches most at time some past matches will be showing me live, therefore I have to do some clear cache for me to get the current matches.
