Football event forecast on May 18: Selected two games of Serie A, La Liga (including scores)

La Liga: Barcelona vs Villarreal

Barcelona performed extremely strongly this season, winning the La Liga championship ahead of schedule with an outstanding record of 27 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses. After easily defeating Espanyol 2-0 away games in the last round, they won 8 unbeaten results in the league, including defeating rivals such as Real Madrid, showing their strong dominance. Despite Lewandowski's personal score of 25 goals, Mbappe leads the scorer list with 28 goals, and there is still a chance to compete for the La Liga Golden Boot. Even though all the main players do not need to appear in this game, Barcelona still has a strong desire to fight, and while ensuring honor, they accumulate strength for the Champions League.

Villarreal ranked fifth this season with 18 wins, 10 draws, 8 losses and 64 points, and has not yet secured the Champions League qualification. The team has been in a hot state recently and has achieved 4 consecutive victories, with balanced performance on both offense and defense. Their away record is particularly outstanding, with 10 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses ranked second in the away game, with a winning rate of 55%, making them one of the most dominant teams in La Liga away. Core players Perez and Pepe are in good shape and have become powerful weapons for the team to obtain points.

Historical data shows that Barcelona has lost 2 games in the last three home games against the Submarines (1 win and 2 losses). This situation does not match the strength comparison of the two teams in recent years. It may be a data trap, but the dominance of this venue (Camp Nou) cannot be underestimated. The strong momentum of the Submarines' four-game winning streak is worthy of vigilance, but Barcelona's recent defense has not been stable (spent 6 goals in the last 5 games). Given the strong performance of the Submarines away, the probability of a draw is quite significant. Draw/Go; 21, 22

Serie A: Inter Milan vs. Lazio

Inter Milan currently ranks second in Serie A with 23 wins, 8 draws, and 5 losses, with 77 points. The difference between the leader Napoli is only 1 point. If you want to win the Serie A championship, you can only hope for Napoli to make mistakes in the next two rounds. However, Inter Milan performed extremely well at home this season, with a record of 13 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses at the top of the home table in Serie A, with balanced offense and defense and strong stability. After defeating Torino 2-0 away from home in the last round, they achieved zero-blocking in the last two rounds of the league and remained in good condition.

Lazio ranked fifth in Serie A this season, with a record of 18 wins, 10 draws, and 8 losses, with 64 points. Because they were at a disadvantage in goal difference, they were only behind fourth place in the Champions League, so they failed to lock in a Champions League place. It is particularly important to note that Lazio's performance in the away game is remarkable, with a away record of 11 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses, ranking fourth in Serie A, demonstrating his strong ability to fight in other places. After a 1-1 draw with Juventus at home last round, they remained unbeaten in the last six league rounds, showing a balance on both offense and defense.

Inter Milan has a significant advantage in data support, has high expectations for its winning rate, and its positioning is stronger than previous confrontations. Historical data shows that Inter Milan has won 5 wins and 1 draw in the last six matches against Lazio, and has a winning rate of up to 80% against mid-to-upstream teams at home this season. Given that Inter Milan must strive to win to maintain hope for the championship, and although Lazio has outstanding away games, his defensive strength is slightly weak when facing strong teams (1.3 goals averaging away games this season), it is expected that Inter Milan will control the rhythm of the game at home in this game. 21, 10
