What to expect
We expect about 2.9 goals from Borussia Dortmund and 0.8 from Villarreal, so Borussia Dortmund come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.7 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.
Our pick: Borussia Dortmund to win. Borussia Dortmund are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.9-0.8), and we make them about 86% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
We put the chance of that landing at about 86 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.79, which works out at about 56 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.

One thing to watch
Villarreal only need one good spell or a set-piece to nick something, and short-priced favourites slip up plenty.
