Before becoming a Sports Journalist for Free Super Tips, Aaron spent three years studying Sports Journalism at the University of Sunderland while taking in the Black Cats' 'glory years' under Martin O'Neill. Now back in Northern Ireland he turns niche stats into predictions for FST, while he's one of the few people on this island who is equally comfortable at Windsor Park and the Aviva.
The Champions League and Europa League take a break this midweek, but there’s plenty of league action to take us through to the weekend. After a spate of high-scoring games of late, we should be in for another high-scoring week.

Both Teams to Score Long Haul Accumulator
Monday – Shelbourne vs Shamrock Rovers
Two of the top three in the Irish Premier Division meet on Monday night, with in-form Shamrock Rovers hoping to move level with Shelbourne. The Shels have faded slightly after a bright start, but they remain a threat going forward having scored in four of their five home games this season.
Shamrock Rovers have seen both teams score in four of their last five and they’ve put together a good run following a tepid start. Rovers have scored three times in each of their last two, so back goals at Tolka Park.
Tuesday – Cheltenham Town vs Peterborough
Cheltenham Town have lost five of their last six to leave them facing the drop, with a clash against fourth-placed Peterborough to come this week.
The hosts have been making a fight of their recent fixtures, with both teams scoring in six of their last seven matches. Cheltenham have lost their last five at home, but they’ve failed to score only once in that run. Posh look great going forward again, so this looks like another high-scoring loss for Cheltenham.
Wednesday – Crystal Palace vs Newcastle
Two of the Premier League’s in-form forward lines meet on Wednesday, with Crystal Palace beating West Ham 5-2 on Sunday. The Eagles have scored in eight consecutive home league games, so expect them to threaten the Magpies.
However, Newcastle have scored twice or more in 10 of their 13 league games in 2024. Both teams have scored in five of their last six league trips, so expect more goals at Selhurst Park this week.
Thursday – Brighton vs Man City
Both teams have scored in five of the last six meetings between these two and Brighton can test Manchester City once again on Thursday night.
The Seagulls have scored in 17 of their 19 home games this season, while Man City have seen both teams score in five of their last six. They were fortunate to keep a clean sheet against Chelsea last weekend and the champions’ defence should slip up at the Amex again.
Friday – Frosinone vs Salernitana
Salernitana are on the verge of being relegated from Serie A, with anything less than a win on Friday night dooming them to the drop. They head to 18th-placed Frosinone for a clash which pits together two of the worst defences in the league.
The pair have conceded over 130 goals between them this term, while Salernitana have shown some fight in recent trips. Three of their last four on the road have finished with both teams scoring, while Frosinone have kept one clean sheet in their last eight at home. With both sides struggling and desperately in need of a win, back goals in Friday night’s Serie A action.
Saturday – Manchester United vs Burnley
Burnley kept their survival hopes alive with a 4-1 win over Sheffield United last weekend and the Clarets have now scored in six of their last seven games. The Clarets have scored at least twice in three of their last four trips, but they’ve gone nine games without a clean sheet on the road.
Manchester United’s defensive issues were clear in their FA Cup semi-final with Coventry last weekend. That was the sixth consecutive United game in which both teams scored, with 30 goals scored across those matches.
Sunday – Tottenham vs Arsenal
Tottenham have had a couple of weeks off since their heavy loss to Newcastle and returning home should help their fortunes in the North London Derby. Spurs have won nine of their last 11 at home, despite keeping only one clean sheet in that run.
Arsenal have packed in four fixtures since Spurs last played and they were tested in a 2-2 draw at the Emirates when these two last met. Ange Postecoglou’s side will pour forward at home, leading to another thrilling derby clash.
