Premium Pick

Two of the best offensive teams in the Spanish La Liga lock horns. Eighth-ranked Villarreal has tallied 31 goals in 19 matches, tied for the third-most. For this game, Villarreal will be without a pair of first-team defensive starters in right-back Ruben Pena and defensive midfielder Francis Coquelin. They've played five straight games that have gone OVER 2.5 goals, including a 5-2 win over Alaves and a 5-0 blasting of Levante. 14 of their last 21 home games have sailed OVER 2.5 goals and they host fifth-ranked Atletico Madrid, a squad with an offense that has also netted 31 goals. 11 of their last 16 have gone OVER 2.5. And they'll be without central defender Stefan Savic (thigh injury), right-back Marcos Llorente, and central defender Jose Gimenez (suspension). These rivals played a 2-2 game when they last met in August and this shapes up as another match with more offense than defense. Take Villarreal/Atletico Madrid OVER the total.
