Villarreal vs Levante: Over 2.5 goals
Villarreal's 2.0 xG faces a Levante side that concedes just once per game on the road, setting up a high‑scoring clash.
Both teams arrive with recent form that leans toward goals: Villarreal have failed to win in their last four league outings, while Levante have mixed results but have shown an ability to find the net, notably a 5‑2 win over Real Betis.
Robbo's Verdict
Back the Over 2.5 goals market, as the model assigns a 65% chance of more than two and a half goals in the game.
Show the maths
With Villarreal averaging 2.0 expected goals and Levante averaging 1.35, the model gives a 64.0% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 36.0% it gives to at least one side being kept out.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 3.4 (Villarreal 2.0 + Levante 1.35) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 65.0% chance against 35.0% for Under.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Villarreal at 52.5%, the draw at 21.7%, and Levante at 25.8% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 9.5% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
