As I had predicted in my preview it was a difficult trip to Monaco for Barcelona, and it will another thought one tonight.

Barcelona, ​​who lost their opening match in the Champions League as a guest of Monaco on Thursday, will visit La Liga on Sunday at Villarreal's home stadium, Estadio de la Cerámica. Barça has started its league with incredible cleannessand and style and the Monaco match went pretty much wrong with Eric García's red card in the tenth minute. There will be enough exhaustion in the feet of Barcelonas players, on Sunday, but still Hansi Flick's team will go into the match as favorites.

Villarreal, commanded by Marcelino García Toral, will not play European games this season, but the aim ist to return to the brighter limelight again next season. Regarding results, the early season of the Yellow Submarine has started well, with three wins out of five games and two draws. In the summer, the team's players were changed with a heavy hand, so being undefeated is undoubtedly a great performance.

All the other matches have been relatively even except the win away at Mallorca, so they are showing good winning spirit as we

Gerard Moreno and Juan Foyth will surely continue in physio room for the hosts. The fitness of Willy Kambwala and Alfonso Pedraza will be tested even closer to the match, but Logan Costa and Raúl Albiol in the middle and Sergi Cardona on the left will probably be seen in the defense in the opener.

Barcelona leads La Liga after five rounds with a clean sheet and the point difference over Real Madrid is currently four points. Barça has been great especially at the attacking end, even though Ilkay Gündogan was lost from the midfield in the summer and injuries have been piling up. Dani Olmo, who is now injured, has been a great addition to the Catalans' midfield, and the joint play with Lamine Yamali, Robert Lewandowski, Pedri and Raphinha has already looked seamless.

Along with Olmo, Barcelona will be missing Marc Bernal, Gavi, Ronald Araújo, Fermín López and Andreas Christensen who are injured for Sunday's game. Frenkie de Jong is already within the limits of possibilities for this match and Ansu Fati made his return already on Thursday from a change in UCL. Marc Casadó and Pedri ran themselves out on Thursday, so Pablo Torre's replacement spot could be questioned. Ferran Torres is suspended.

Barcelona are favourites, but not this big, I expect both to score at least once.

Good luck!

正如我在预演中预测的那样，对巴塞罗那来说，摩纳哥之旅将是一场艰难的比赛，今晚将是另一场精彩的比赛。

4日做客摩纳哥，在欧冠首场比赛中失利的巴塞罗那，将于5日在比利亚雷亚尔主场Cerámica做客西甲。巴萨以令人难以置信的干净和风格开始了他们的联赛，而对摩纳哥的比赛则因为埃里克García在第10分钟的红牌而变得非常糟糕。在周日的比赛中，巴塞罗那球员的脚将会疲惫不堪，但汉斯·弗里克的球队仍将以夺冠热门的身份进入比赛。

由马塞利诺García托拉尔指挥的比利亚雷亚尔本赛季将不会参加欧洲比赛，但他的目标是下赛季再次回到更明亮的聚光灯下。就成绩而言，“黄色潜水艇”本赛季初开局不错，5战3胜2平。在夏天，球队的球员被严厉地更换了，所以不败无疑是一个伟大的表现。

除了客场战胜马洛卡，其他比赛的比分都比较平稳，所以他们和我们一样表现出了良好的求胜精神

杰拉德·莫雷诺和胡安·福伊斯肯定会继续留在东道主的理疗室。威利·坎布瓦拉和阿方索·佩德拉萨的健康状况将在比赛临近时受到考验，但洛根·科斯塔和Raúl阿尔比奥尔在中路，塞尔吉·卡多纳在左路，可能会在揭战中出现在后防线上。

巴萨五轮零封领先西甲，目前与皇马的分差为4分。尽管伊尔凯·格<e:1>多安在夏天失去了中场位置，而且伤病不断，但巴拉达还是表现出色，尤其是在进攻端。现在受伤的奥尔莫是加泰罗尼亚中场的重要补充，他与亚马里、莱万多夫斯基、佩德里和拉菲尼哈的配合看起来已经天衣无缝。

除了奥尔莫，巴塞罗那还将失去在周日比赛中受伤的马克·伯纳尔、加维、罗纳德Araújo、Fermín López和安德烈亚斯·克里斯滕森。德容已经在这场比赛的可能性范围内，而法蒂已经在周四从欧冠联赛的变化中回归。马克Casadó和佩德里在周四的比赛中都没有上场，所以托瑞的替补位置可能会受到质疑。弗兰·托雷斯被禁赛。

巴萨是大热门，但不是这么大，我希望双方都能至少进一次球。

好运！
