Villarreal's tactical approach centres around a 5-4-1 defensive counter-attack system. The midfield pairing of Stefano Badelj and Alhassan Yunus average 11.6 combined interceptions per game, forming a central barrier and successfully disrupting opponents' central attacks 61% of the time in the last three rounds. Attacking spearhead Artyom Dzyuba (5 goals, 1 assist this season) is the focal point of their counter-attacks, with a 72% success rate in penalty area finishes. He capitalises on centre-backs' weaknesses. In the last three rounds, he scored twice with headers. FC Barcelona hasn't replicated last season's form, experiencing fluctuating performances this season. Both teams have other competitions to consider, but the away side has a shorter turnaround. The prediction is both teams will score, with a higher chance of a win. The score predictions are 0-1, 1-1, and 1-2. Their defense this season has been very solid, resulting in multiple 1-0 scorelines, showcasing a defensive approach that can frustrate opponents. FC Barcelona's goal this season is to win the title.
