Atletico Madrid vs Villarreal Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 2.29 expected goals for Atletico Madrid and 1.15 for Villarreal, a combined total of 3.44.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 67% for over 2.5 goals and 61% for both teams to score, with 2–1 the single most likely scoreline at 10%.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Atletico Madrid win, at 62.9%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 61% and over 2.5 goals at 67%.
A 63% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
