Villarreal CF (Mariner) at 1.37 to win feels tight given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the GT Leagues (2x6 min.) this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re riding luck — stats nerds would steer clear.
Athletic Bilbao (Cyclop)’s 4.6 odds smells value, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his recent funk.
