This week Spain Cup matches
|
Seven days ago, these teams drew 0:0 in the first match of the quarterfinals of the Cup. Barca are the favourites at Camp Nou but Villareal believe that they can surprise the vice champion of Spain.
Barca in a crisis…
Current play and the form of the famous Catalonian club are very weak at the moment. Tactics employed by manager Rijkaard doesn’t bring results, and this was best seen last weekend in the game against Bilbao. A handicap in the attack is the absence of the main attacker Eto’o who plays in African Cup of Nations. The main start of this summer’s transfer window, Henry can play only one match a week (due to a chronic injury), Ronaldinho did his first training only yesterday after a three –week break. Krkic and Dos Santos are good but they still don’t have enough experience behind them to lead the attack while Deco can’t get a grip on the field. The question is how long the team will have the patience for Rijkaard and he must prove them wrong with good results. Seven days ago they drew 0:0 at El Madrigal, which is a good result before the rematch at Camp Nou.
Villareal fighting the tradition…
Last weekend, Villareal played a very exciting match against Real Madrid. Yellow Submarine managed to level Real’s lead twice but in the end they were defeated and so they continued the series of three winless away games. By the middle of last week they drew against Barca but now they will have a hard time at Camp Nou. Seven years passed since Villarreal celebrated in Catalonia and last time they were demolished 4:0. Still, manager Pellegrini and his players will certainly try to use weak form of Barca and fight a favourable result. Josico and Tomasson are questionable for this match because they are not yet recovered.
Betting Verdict
The bookies favour Barca but the situation on the field is different. Home team play quite weak and they will surely have a hard time winning Villarreal. On the other hand the guests believe that they can surprise Barca and they surely won't only defend in this match. If they score, Barca must score two goals because Villareal would move on because they scored a goal away. That is why our suggestion is betting on Villareal not to lose because we don’t confide completely in Barcelona and the odds are too high
Our tip: Bet 5 on Villarreal not to lose
