Head-to-Head Record

Home & Away Splits

Napoli's 20-game away sample produces a lower goal average (1.25 scored) than their recent five-game run (1.0 scored), while Villarreal's 20-game home sample (2.3 scored) aligns closely with their last five (2.2 scored).

Key Factors

Both teams last played 23 days ago. Napoli's last five-game away sample shows a higher scoring rate (1.0) compared to their 20-game sample (1.25), which is a notable variance in their scoring averages.

What the Model Says

The model projects about 3.05 combined goals, with an 80.8% probability of at least two goals. It expects Villarreal to win with a margin of one or two goals 56.5% of the time.

Verdict

The model's projection of a 1-1 draw has the lowest probability among the three most likely scorelines (1-1, 2-1, 1-0). A Villarreal victory would be required to match the model's 56.5% confidence level.
