REF’s picks

Villarreal and Elche should play out an open match at the Estadio de la Cerámica, making the over on goals the most appealing angle here. Elche have shown attacking intent on the road recently, while Villarreal possess enough firepower through Ayoze Pérez and Nicolas Pépé to exploit defensive gaps.

1. 1Villarreal boast strong attacking options capable of breaking down Elche's backline multiple times.
2. 2Elche have shown they can find the net away from home, raising the probability of a high-scoring encounter.
3. 3Defensive lapses on both sides could easily lead to a chaotic match that leaves clean sheets out of reach.
