Key facts
⚽
Open Games
Both teams score in 63% of Villarreal's matches this season
▸ Form & goals
Racing Santander average 0.0 goals per game and Villarreal manage 1.9. Combined that's just 1.9. We make it 54% for three or more, so there's no strong lean on the goals line. Whether both teams score is a genuine coin-flip, and we make it 52%.
▸ Team news & context
Racing Santander do it the hard way: only 0.0 a game up top, but a mean 0.0 conceded. They're a tough nut to crack: they soak up pressure and hit you on the break. Villarreal have goals in them (1.9 per game) but their record at the back (1.2 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end.
▸ Other markets: scorelines, scorers, cards & first half
Most likely scorelines: 0-0 (21%) and 0-1 (20%).
