Villarreal vs Napoli Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 2.69 expected goals for Villarreal and 1.95 for Napoli, a combined total of 4.64. That distribution gives Villarreal the largest share of the 1X2 market at 54%, with the draw at 18%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 84% for over 2.5 goals and 80% for both teams to score, with 2–1 the single most likely scoreline at 7%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 54% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Villarreal win, at 53.9%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 80% and over 2.5 goals at 84%.
A 54% 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.
