Double chance : Athletic Club or draw

Athletic Club have had mixed results recently, with a draw, a win, and a few losses in their last few games. Villarreal, on the other hand, are in good shape, having won most of their recent matches with only one loss.

When these two teams met earlier in the season, it was a very close game with just one goal deciding it. Based on their current form, this upcoming match could be another tight and competitive affair.
