Barcelona vs Villarreal: Can 3-5 Winners Last Time Out Crush Flick’s Barca’s 28th Laliga Party?

Barcelona vs Villarreal: Can 3-5 Winners Last Time Out Crush Flick’s Barca’s 28th Laliga Party?

Barcelona hosts Villarreal at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Sunday evening in what will be both a La Liga celebration and a stern final home test for the new champions, with the visitors having beaten a Xavi-led Barca 3-5 the last time they visited.

Having secured the league crown after beating Espanyol 2-0 on Thursday, Barca aim to end their final match at Montjuïc with a win, while Villarreal hunt a statement result to boost their UEFA Champions League qualification.

Barcelona Players Celebrating Goal

🔴🔵Barca Chase 100 Goals in Title-Winning Campaign | Home Win = 1.91💵

With 85 points and a 7-point lead over Real Madrid, Hansi Flick’s side have wrapped up La Liga and could yet finish the season with a century of league goals, having already netted 97 with two games still to go.

This weekend’s clash will double as a trophy presentation party and a shot at redemption after losing 5-3 to Villarreal in last season’s home fixture.

Barca Players Celebrating a Title Triumph

Although the Catalans did crush the Yellow Submarines 5-1 away from home earlier this term, a series of great results that have helped them already lift the Copa del Rey and Supercopa, but with the UCL dream falling short, Flick will want a strong ending to a dominant domestic season.

💛Villarreal Hoping to Crash Champions’ Party| Away Win = 3.83💵

Marcelino’s Villarreal arrive in top form, with four straight wins and the third-best attacking record in the league, scoring 64 goals in 36 games.

Villarreal Players Celebrating a Goal

Sitting fifth with 64 points, they’re five ahead of Betis and on the brink of UCL qualification. A result in Barcelona would seal their status and spoil the champions’ party.

Impressively, Villarreal have won three of their last four away games against Barca and own the second-best away record in Spain this season with 33 points on the road.

Arsenal vs Newcastle: “Water-Gunners” Eye Ending Poor Emirates Run as Howe's High-flying Magpies Search 4/4 Wins Against “Bottlers” to Move 2nd️

Arsenal vs Newcastle: “Water-Gunners” Eye Ending Poor Emirates Run as Howe's High-flying Magpies Search 4/4 Wins Against “Bottlers” to Move 2nd️

📅Date: Friday, May 18, 2025.

📍Venue: Emirates, London

🏆Competition: English Premier League – Matchday 37

⌚Kick-off: 4:30 PM GMT

Arsenal welcome Newcastle United to the Emirates Stadium in their final home match of the season, with both sides chasing a top-two Premier League finish and Champions League security heading into the final week.

Arsenal Players Celebrating a Goal

While the Gunners remain in control of their UCL fate, Eddie Howe’s Magpies are on the verge of something historic—beating Arsenal four times in a single season for the first time ever.

🔴⚪Arsenal Hope to Snap Winless Home Run | Home Win = 2.07💵

Arsenal’s dramatic 2-2 draw at Anfield last week was a tale of two halves. While Arteta’s men rallied after a poor first half, it extended their winless run to five games in all competitions.

Arsenal Players in a Team Huddle Before Kick-off

The Gunners have failed to win any of their last four matches at the Emirates, a worrying trend as they seek to finish strong. They haven’t lost three straight home matches since 2019—an unwanted record looming.

Despite their form, Arsenal still sit second and will likely qualify for the UCL unless Aston Villa upset Spurs. But pressure is high, and with several injuries, Arteta will need to rotate wisely.

Newcastle Players Celebrating a Goal

⚫⚪Newcastle Target Historic Fourth Win Over Arsenal | Away Win = 3.79💵

Having already beaten Arsenal in the league and EFL Cup this season, Newcastle could make history with a fourth win over the Gunners this term. The 2-0 win over Chelsea last weekend reignited their form at just the right time.

Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali were instrumental in that win, and their midfield battle could decide the tie. Newcastle have scored in 11 straight games and remain one of the league’s most dangerous sides in transition.

Newcastle Players Celebrating a Goal

However, away form is less impressive, with just two wins from their last six league road games. Still, the Magpies haven’t lost the final game of the season away from home since 2017-18.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Arsenal will be without Mikel Merino due to suspension, while Jorginho, Gabriel Jesus, and Gabriel Magalhães are all expected to miss out through injury. Lewandowski (hamstring) also remains unavailable.

Arsenal Players Line-up Right Before Kick-off

There’s optimism over Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Leandro Trossard—all of whom trained midweek—but Arteta may opt for caution. Zinchenko could feature in midfield, with Nwaneri or Tierney filling wide.

Newcastle may be without Sven Botman (knee), with Emil Krafth the likely replacement at centre-back. Trippier, Joelinton, Matt Targett, and Lewis Hall are still sidelined. Joe Willock remains a doubt.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 3.80💵

⚽ Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 12 EPL home matches vs Newcastle, though they’ve failed to win their last four at the Emirates. | Specials Market: (Double Chance & O/U) Home & Over 2.5 = 2.31

⚽ Newcastle have won all three previous meetings with Arsenal this season—two in the EFL Cup, one in the league. | Specials Market: (O/U & GG/NG) Over 2.5 & Yes = 2.00

⚽ Newcastle have scored in 11 straight matches, while Arsenal have conceded first in three of their last four home games. | Main Market: (GG/NG) Yes to GG = 1.67

Arsenal may have the history at the Emirates, but Newcastle hold the psychological edge. A win for either would seal a top-two finish, but expect a tight, gritty affair between two sides hungry to end strong.

Chelsea vs Man. “Lose-nited”: Blues Eye UCL Football; “Pink Devils” Scramble to Save ‘Worst League Season Ever’

📅Date: Friday, May 16, 2025.

📍Venue: Stamford Bridge, London

🏆Competition: English Premier League – Matchday 37

⌚Kickoff: 8:15 PM GMT

Chelsea welcome Manchester United to Stamford Bridge in a must-win Premier League clash with both sides desperate for vastly different reasons.

Chelsea Players Celebrating a Goal

For the Blues, currently clinging to fifth spot, it’s a shot at Champions League redemption. For 16th-placed United, it's a matter of pride—and avoiding the club’s worst league finish in the modern era.

🔵 Chelsea: Fortress Bridge & a Top-Five Lifeline | Home Win = 1.43💵

After a five-game winning streak, Chelsea’s European charge stumbled in a 2-0 away defeat to Newcastle. But their home form is impeccable—just two losses at the Bridge all season.

Chelsea Players Celebrating a Goal

Maresca’s men have turned Stamford Bridge into a stronghold, unbeaten in their last four against United there since 2021. A win on Wednesday could be vital in holding off Villa in the top-five race.

Even without a suspended Jackson, an ineligible Sancho, and injured Nkunku and Guiu, the Blues will still fancy their chances of creating something by midfielders like Palmer and Enzo to break down a leaky United defence.

Man United Players Celebrating a Goal

🔴Man United: Facing Their Worst EPL Finish Ever | Away Win = 7.57💵

United have gone seven league games without a win, their latest being a 2-0 loss at home to West Ham. They sit a dismal 16th, having lost 17 league matches.

Their Europa League final with Spurs looms large, but with Premier League records going from bad to worse by the minute, Ruben Amorim’s men cannot afford to ignore this critical away tie.

Man United Players Celebrating a Goal

Injuries to key defenders, including Lisandro Martinez and Leny Yoro, further deplete an already fragile squad. Scoring options also remain limited with Zirkzee out.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Chelsea:

  • Out: Nicolas Jackson (suspension), Nkunku (knock), Guiu (hamstring), Fofana (muscle), Kellyman (hamstring)

Image from the last meeting between Chelsea & Man United (1-1 draw)
  • Unavailable: Jadon Sancho (ineligible vs parent club)

Man United:

  • Out: Zirkzee (hamstring), Martinez (knee), Dalot (calf), Yoro (foot – doubt)

Expect midfielders like Enzo Fernandez and Casemiro to be very important to their various teams’ play, while Palmer and Bruno Fernandes could be the difference-makers in the final third.

⚽ Chelsea are unbeaten at home in the league since Boxing Day and have won five of their last six home games. | Specials Market: Home & Over 2.5 = 1.79

⚽ Man United are unbeaten against Chelsea in eight (8) of their last nine (9) meetings in all competitions. | Specials Market: (O/U & GG/NG) Over 2.5 & Yes = 1.95

Caicedo - Chelsea Player

⚽ Six of the last nine meetings between Manchester United and Chelsea have been draws, with 3 of them coming at the Bridge and the other three coming at Old Trafford. | Main Market: (Handicap) 0:2 Away win = 1.76

Chelsea are chasing a Champions League dream, while United are just trying to stay afloat. With pressure, pride, and Europe on the line, expect a heated clash under the West London lights.
