Their last six home games have seen an impressive average of 3.83 total goals per match, with 83% of these games featuring over 2.5 goals. Villarreal's attacking prowess is evident, scoring 2.17 goals per game, but their defense has been somewhat leaky, conceding 1.67 goals per game. Despite this, they managed two clean sheets in this period. The team's form has been a mix of wins, draws, and losses, without any significant winning or losing streaks, demonstrating the competitive nature of their home performances.
