**VILLARREAL VS BARCELONA**
H2H
The sides drew 2-2 at El Madrigal in the most recent meeting last season. Barca had won all of the previous 5 clashes but they haven't won by more than a single goal on any of their last 5 visits to El Madrigal.
20.03.16 LL Villarreal Barcelona 2 : 2
04.03.15 COP Villarreal Barcelona 1 : 3
31.08.14 LL Villarreal Barcelona 0 : 1
27.04.14 LL Villarreal Barcelona 2 : 3
28.01.12 LL Villarreal Barcelona 0 : 0
STATS
Villarreal have let in just 0.63 goals per game at home in La Liga this term. Barcelona have let in 1.13 goals per game on their travels.
VILLARREAL TEAM NEWS
Mateo Musacchio is fit to return at centre-back which is a big boost. The same goes for Victor Ruiz and influential midfielder Bruno who have shaken off knocks to play here. Cedric Bakambu is an AfricanCup absentee so Alexandre Pato is expected to start again up front.
BARCELONA TEAM NEWS
Keeper Jasper Cillessen is the only injury absentee for Barcelona. Javier Mascherano may come in at centre back while Denis Suarez or Andre Gomes could feature in midfield but otherwise it should be the same team that lost in Bilbao on Thursday night.
Good luck to all !!!
