Spanish La Liga football betting - Villarreal vs Barcelona

Villarreal host Barcelona tonight in a game that could decide the destination of the La Liga title. Barcelona are one point clear of rivals Real Madrid, who play tomorrow, and will know that they cannot afford to slip up.

The visitors are strong favourites for the game at 4/7 (bet £70 to win £40 profit), leaving Villarreal as underdogs at 11/2. Barcelona have been almost unstoppable in La Liga this season but may be tired after crashing out of the Champions League in midweek.

The bookmakers believe Barca should get a result today and have made a 2-1 away win the favourite score for the game at 15/2, with 2-0 at the same price and 1-0 at 8/1. The bookmakers also offer 8/1 that the game finishes 1-1 and a surprise 1-0 win for the hosts is 17/1 with Paddy Power.

Lionel Messi has been made favourite to open the scoring tonight at 3/1, followed by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was substituted with his side needing a goal against Inter, at 4/1. Bojan and Thierry Henry are both 6/1 with Extrabet and the same firm are also best price at 9/1 on Villarreal`s best hope of breaking the deadlock, Llorente.

Barcelona are 11/8 with Paddy Power to lead tonight at both half-time and full-time and 4/1 with William Hill to win the match after drawing at half-time. The bookmakers offer 6/1 that both halves end in a draw and Villarreal are 12/1 with Victor Chandler to be in front at both the interval and the final whistle.

Tonight`s visitors know that if they win their remaining games the La Liga title is theirs and Victor Chandler are best price at just 1/2 that they finish the season as Champions.
