BEST ODDS
Our pick: Bookmakers offer average 1.43 (implied 69.8%) for Over 2.5 Goals. Our experts calculate a 72.3% probability (an expert ratio of 1.38). We chose this bet because our experts rate it more likely than the bookmaker price implies (72.3% vs 69.8%), driven by both sides' high goal output and tendency toward open games. That edge makes it our most confident selection for this match.

Match Preview

The model favours Levante to win this match, projecting a scoreline of 2-1 against Villarreal. Levante currently sits in 10th place in the league, having secured 5 points from their first four matches. Their form has been relatively steady, with two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five matches. Key to their performance has been a balanced goal tally of 5 scored and 5 conceded, indicating a solid defensive structure despite being mid-table. On the other hand, Villarreal finds itself struggling in 16th position with just 2 points from their opening four games. Their season has been challenging, marked by two draws and two losses, culminating in a negative goal difference of -2. While they have managed to score 6 goals, they have conceded 8, which highlights defensive vulnerabilities that Levante could exploit. The model indicates a win probability of approximately 55% for Levante, with the projected score of 2-1 reflecting their better form and league standing. However, Villarreal's home advantage at Estadio de la Ceramica could pose a challenge for Levante, making this match less predictable. For a complete understanding of the prediction, please refer to the "How We Reached This Prediction" section, as the analysis is based on an in-house model from The Daily Punt Analysis Team that utilises expected goals and actual results across the season.

The Daily Punt Analysis Team

Data-driven football predictions and betting tips

This forecast was built by the The Daily Punt Analysis Team using our in-house statistical model. We feed the model two layers of data for every fixture: each team's recent expected goals (xG and xGA) and their actual goals scored and conceded, split by home and away venue. The numbers run through a Poisson distribution that produces a probability for every possible scoreline, which we then convert into fair odds for the 1X2, correct score, BTTS, and over/under markets.

Before publishing, we cross-check our fair odds against the prices the major bookmakers are offering. Where a bookmaker is paying out more than our model says is mathematically fair, we flag that market as a value bet on this page.
