The defending La Liga champions can take a big step towards another league title when Barcelona travel to the Estadio de la Cerámica to face Villarreal on Tuesday. The leaders are 10 points ahead of Atlético Madrid, and a win at Villarreal would put Barça in a great position before a showdown with Atlético at the weekend that could pretty much decide the title.

Match Preview: Barça picked up a big win at the weekend against Espanyol that kept their advantage over Atlético, and over the next eight days, they face a massive stretch of games: first it’s Villarreal on the road, then Atlético at home and Manchester United in the Champions League. Because they have such giant games after this one, it won’t be surprising if Barcelona doesn’t take this Villarreal game that seriously and suffer a lot against a relegation candidate.
But the fact Villarreal is fighting against relegation doesn’t mean they’re bad: there’s a lot of talent in this team, and they’re always really good at home against the big teams. Barça always has a tough time whenever they play away to Villarreal, so this will most definitely be a very difficult night for the leaders. If they do win, however, they’ll get even closer to a second straight championship.
