This clue could be a double definition.

'a better team' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both groups as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'villa?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'than' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
