1x2 — away@ 2.1
EV: -1.3%
Villarreal are 3rd in the table with a much stronger attack and away record. Athletic Club's form is poor, and Villarreal's attack should edge it, though value is marginal.
Match Analysis
Villarreal travel to San Mamés as the clear form side, sitting 3rd in La Liga and boasting a strong attack (1.8 goals per game). Athletic Club are struggling, with four losses in their last five and a worrying lack of goals (0.4 per game in last 5). Villarreal's away record is solid, and their recent matches tend to be open, with high-scoring affairs more common. Athletic's home form is better than their overall, but recent performances indicate a lack of cutting edge. Expect Villarreal to control large spells, create more chances, and likely take all three points, with a decent chance of both teams scoring if Athletic can find a spark.
