Football Betting Tips

Mohamed Salah has been an absolute revelation for Liverpool since joining in 2017/18, scoring 118 Premier League goals in just 180 appearances. He is showing no signs of slowing down, either, notching 23 times last season for his second-best goalscoring season in the top flight. That was his third Golden Boot award in five seasons, with only Thierry Henry winning the award more times than him.

Teemu Pukki won the golden boot in the Championship in 2018/19 and he racked up another 26 goals the last time Norwich were at this level in 20/21, leading them to the title once again. Pukki was squeezed out in a competitive field that year, with the top four scorers from that season all plying their trade in the top flight this season bar Pukki. The Finn has been an incredible consistent scorer over the years for Norwich. He’s hit 29 and 26 in two Championship campaigns and 11 in both Premier League seasons.

Oxford’s goal poaching frontman Matt Taylor hit 20 of their 82 league goals last term, propelling his side to the brink of glory. Only six League One players contributed a higher portion of their 2021/22 team goals than Taylor’s 24% and a similar reliance on his efforts in another promotion push could see him at the top end of the scoring charts yet again.

The last time Omar Bogle was at this level for a full season he hit 19 goals in 27 games for Grimsby in 2016/17. Newport create plenty of chances and Dom Telford, now with Crawley, topped the scoring charts last season. County’s new boy Bogle will be the focal point in their attack next term and he looks a huge price to finish as League Two’s leading marksman.

Norwich may not quite cut it at the highest level, but they proved in 20/21 that they’re too strong for the Championship. Most of that squad remains and they have last season’s TV riches and their parachute payment to fund extra signings ahead of the new season too.

Only two sides picked up more points than Bolton in the final 20 rounds (W12, D5, L3) of last season, a run which saw the Wanderers rise from the lowly depths of 18th to an eventual ninth placed finish. Manager Ian Evatt has done a good job of keeping his squad together over the summer and they should be able to mount a title bid.

Mansfield finished seventh in the standings last season but they were still only eight points behind champions Forest Green. The Stags have largely managed to keep their squad intact and the captures of midfielder Hiram Boateng and veteran keeper Scott Flinders from MK Dons and Cheltenham respectively look shrewd additions.

Bournemouth dropped off in the second half of last season and had just the sixth-best record in the Championship in 2022. They haven’t made any significant moves in the transfer market and are heavily reliant on Dominic Solanke, who either scored or assisted 48% of their goals last season.

Fulham are similarly reliant on Aleksandar Mitrovic after his record-breaking season but the Serbian has never managed to hit those heights in the top flight. They have also lost Fabio Carvalho, who scored ten and assisted eight, and each of their last two Premier League stints have lasted just a single season.

Everton had the joint-third worst record in the Premier League since Frank Lampard took over and they have lost star-player Richarlison this summer. They don’t look interested in reinvesting that money after recent years of frivolous spending and they took just five points from the ten games in which Richarlison didn’t start last season.

Inter Milan finished just two points off top spot last season, despite losing Romelu Lukaku, Achraf Hakimi and Antonio Conte the summer before.

Simone Inzaghi proved he was ready for the step up in his first year in charge, winning the Italian Cup alongside their strong title defence. Now Lukaku is back, plus they’ve added Andre Onana from Ajax, which should take the Nerazzurri beyond AC Milan and keep them clear of Juventus.

It is hard to look beyond Los Blancos after their claimed their 35th La Liga title last season, beating arch-rivals Barcelona by 13 points.

Xavi’s arrival in November sparked a resurgence for Barcelona but they still picked up five fewer points than Real Madrid since he took the reins and that was while Real Madrid maintained their successful Champions League campaign.

The Catalan club have strengthened their squad with the likes of Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski but internal politics and cashflow issues make them hard to back, while Real Madrid haven’t sat on their laurels, either, with the arrival of Aurelien Tchouameni and Antonio Rudiger.

Porto beat Sporting Lisbon to the title by six points last season but have seen their squad decimated in the last six months. They lost Luis Diaz in January and have seen Vitinha and Fabio Vieira, who contributed eight goals and 17 assists between them, depart this summer.

Sporting’s only major loss from last season’s squad is the departure of Pablo Sarabia, but they have brought in plenty of defensive reinforcements and added Barcelona winger Francisco Trincao on loan. Overall, they look to have retained more of their most influential players than Porto so could pip their rivals to the post this season.

Both teams dropped just seven points since January last term so I’m siding with the higher price of Sporting, while Benfica could be a long way back after losing Darwin Nunez.

Defending champions Ajax have lost a host of important personnel, with manager Erik ten Hag departing and the likes of Lisandro Martinez, Nicolas Tagliafico, Sebastian Haller and Ryan Gravenberch all heading for the exit door, too.

It will be a season of transition for the Amsterdam club and PSV can take advantage of their largely settled squad. They have lost a few players but Luuk de Jong’s arrival and Ajax’s transition can held them bridge the two-point gap from last season.

PSG may be huge favourites in Ligue 1 but when you take the big-spending champions out of the equation things are a lot more competitive.

Marseille were best of the rest last season but will have a Champions League campaign to focus on, while Monaco will also be distracted by European commitments.

Lyon may have finished a disappointing eighth last term but they were only ten points off Marseille and can focus fully on the league. They have kept the bulk of their squad in tact while adding Alexandre Lacazette and Corentin Tolisso to their ranks, while Nicolas Tagliafico and Johann Lepenant are other eye-catching acquisitions.

As always, Bayern Munich are overwhelming favourites and worth swerving in the outright market, but Borussia Dortmund should make another claim to the best of the rest crown.

They have won this market in three of the last four seasons and, while they have lost Erling Haaland, they have brought in some key players with Sebastian Haller, Niklas Sule and the highly-rated Karim Adeyemi all joining the cause.

Edin Terzig knows the club well after 12 years in various roles around Borussia Dortmund and main challengers RB Leipzig have lost a host of talent this summer.

The last four seasons have seen Manchester City and Liverpool relentlessly pursue perfection and just one point separates the two clubs over this 152-match period.

With this in mind, it is hard to get behind Manchester City at odds-on, especially when they will need to make some drastic changes to their playing style to accommodate Erling Haaland. The Norwegian’s arrival will undoubtedly prove fruitful in the long term, but there is every chance of a slow start and that could be fatal when every point counts.

Liverpool lost the title by just one point last term despite losing Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane for a month to their national sides. This season, Salah and Luis Diaz will enjoy a month of rest during the World Cup and that could make all the difference.

Manchester City and Liverpool have been almost inseparable over the last four seasons, with just one point between them across the last 152 Premier League games.

The reigning champions will have to alter their style of play to accommodate Erling Haaland and Liverpool have the added bonus of giving Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz a mid-season rest thanks to their respective national teams failing to qualify for the World Cup.

Another incredibly close battle for the title is expected but I fancy Liverpool to pip their new-age rivals.

Tottenham could be some way off in third but I give them the advantage over Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United.

Spurs earned 56 points in Antonio Conte’s 28 games in charge last season, with only Man City and Liverpool collecting more. They have strengthened in Richarlison and Yves Bissouma and Conte has averaged 2.2 points-per-game across almost 300 Premier League and Serie A games.

Both teams scored in eight of the last nine meetings between Hamburg and Darmstadt, and with nothing but goal difference separating them at the top of the table, we can see both teams going for it in what will be an important victory.

Lyngby have seen both teams score in each of their last four home Superliga games and a total of 20 goals have been scored in this period, with over 2.5 goals landing in all of them. Copenhagen have seen goals at both ends in each of their last six in all competitions, with over 2.5 goals landing in all of them and an average of 4.4 goals per game.

Both these teams have their struggles defensively, with both teams netting in four of Espanyol’s last five games and four of Rayo Vallecano’s last six, which also highlights they are pretty strong at the other end of the field

Both teams have scored in all six of these teams’ combined competitive games this season, with a total of 21 goals being scored so far. Borussia Monchengladbach have seen goals at both ends in seven successive Bundesliga games and Hertha Berlin have in five.

Patrick Thistle have seen 12 goals scored across their three Scottish Championship games so far, with both teams scoring in each of those. In all competitions there have been goals at both ends in six of their seven games, while Inverness have seen goals at both ends in three of their last four in all competitions.

Lyngby have seen both teams score in each of their last four home Superliga games and a total of 20 goals have been scored in this period, with over 2.5 goals landing in all of them. Copenhagen have seen goals at both ends in each of their last six in all competitions, with over 2.5 goals landing in all of them and an average of 4.4 goals per game.

Lyon have seen at least three goals scored in each of their last eight Ligue 1 games and in six successive home league games. Troyes have seen eight goals scored across their two Ligue 1 outings this season and over 2.5 goals has landed in five of their last six top-flight matches.

Both of these teams played out draws in their openers last weekend and Espanyol have drawn four of their last five La Liga outings, two of which ended 1-1. Rayo Vallecano have played out three stalemates in their last six league games.

Estoril have kept a clean sheet in three of their last four home games and won their last two to nil, while Rio Ave have failed to score in seven of their last eight Primeira Liga matches and have lost 1-0 in two of their last five league trips away.

Marcus Thuram only managed three goals for Borussia Monchengladbach last season but he has already almost matched that tally this term, netting in each of his Bundesliga outings so far and scoring a first-half hat-trick in their DFB Pokal tie before the league season began.

Alexandre Lacazette scored the winner in his second debut for Lyon last weekend and also found the net in each of Lyon’s final two pre-season friendlies before the season began. He faces a Troyes side that have conceded ten goals in their last four Ligue 1 games.

Daniel Sinani has scored in two of his three competitive appearances at Carrow Road since joining from Huddersfield and has averaged a goal every 113 minutes so far this term.

Monchengladbach have made an unbeaten start to their campaign while Hertha Berlin are yet to record victory in 2022/23. Both sides are averaging 2+ scored goals per-match so far, so we can see this one being yet another exciting affair between two attacking sides.

Norwich have conceded in all five of their competitive games this season but they are unbeaten at Carrow Road and have scored five goals in three outings there. Millwall were fortunate not to lose against Swansea in midweek and remain winless away from home, losing two of their three trips.

Monchengladbach have made an unbeaten start to their campaign while Hertha Berlin are yet to record victory in 2022/23. Both sides are averaging 2+ scored goals per-match so far, so we can see this one being yet another exciting affair between two attacking sides.

Neither of these sides have made a promising start to the season but Eupen have won one of their two home games and face a Seraing side that have started the season with four successive defeats. Looking back to last season, Eupen have taken seven points from their last five home games and Seraing have lost ten of their last 13 in the league.

Partick Thistle have seen 12 goals scored across their three Scottish Championship games so far, with both teams scoring in each of those. In all competitions there have been goals at both ends in six of their seven games, while Inverness have seen goals at both ends in three of their last four in all competitions.

Lyon have seen at least three goals scored in each of their last eight Ligue 1 games and in six successive home league games. Troyes have seen eight goals scored across their two Ligue 1 outings this season and over 2.5 goals has landed in five of their last six top-flight matches.

Norwich have conceded in all five of their competitive games this season but they are unbeaten at Carrow Road and have scored five goals in three outings there. Millwall were fortunate not to lose against Swansea in midweek and remain winless away from home, losing two of their three trips.

Rio Ave have started the season with back-to-back defeats and have now lost five of their last six Primeira Liga games. Estoril lost away from home last time out but did beat Famalicao at home in their opener and are unbeaten in four successive home league games, winning the last two.

Sevilla have lost just two of their last 25 La Liga home games and face a newly-promoted Real Valladolid side that lost 3-0 in their opener last weekend. Valladolid have won just one of their last 11 away games against Sevilla and the hosts scored at least two goals in six of their last nine home league games last term.

Partick Thistle have seen 12 goals scored across their three Scottish Championship games so far, with both teams scoring in each of those. In all competitions there have been goals at both ends in six of their seven games, while Inverness have seen goals at both ends in three of their last four in all competitions.

Lyon have seen at least three goals scored in each of their last eight Ligue 1 games and in six successive home league games. Troyes have seen eight goals scored across their two Ligue 1 outings this season and over 2.5 goals has landed in five of their last six top-flight matches.

Norwich have been flying out of the blocks at Carrow Road and have led 2-0 at half-time in each of their last two home games while they were well on top for the first 25 minutes of the game with Wigan a fortnight ago. Millwall have trailed 2-0 in the first half of their last three Championship matches and fell behind in the first minute of their midweek trip to Swansea.

Rio Ave have started the season with back-to-back defeats and have now lost five of their last six Primeira Liga games. Estoril lost away from home last time out but did beat Famalicao at home in their opener and are unbeaten in four successive home league games, winning the last two.

Sevilla have lost just two of their last 25 La Liga home games and face a newly-promoted Real Valladolid side that lost 3-0 in their opener last weekend. Valladolid have won just one of their last 11 away games against Sevilla and the hosts scored at least two goals in six of their last nine home league games last term.

Bolton are unbeaten in four so far this season and have kept three clean sheets in the process, whilst Saturday’s visitors have now won just three of their last nine away matches.

Wimbledon were affected by Chris Gunter’s first half red card last time out, but the signs of hope were there as they raced into a two-goal lead, they face Crawley who have taken just one point this season (D1, L3).

Grimsby are unbeaten in three games and their solid start to the season can continue with a victory over Sutton United at Blundell Park. On the other hand, Sutton look to avoid a fourth defeat in five matches.

Leicester won 10 of 19 home games last season and they have beaten Saints in their last three clashes at the King Power. The Saints have lost four of their last five away games in the league but have only failed to score in one of their last seven games.

MK Dons have won four of their last five home matches and are unbeaten in their last three matches against Saturday’s opponents, whilst Accrington have won three of their last 13 competitive away matches (D2, L8) but have scored in all four of their games this season.

Both teams have hit the back of the net in four of the previous five meetings. Oxford United have failed to keep a clean sheet across their last three fixtures.

Stoke have won just one of their last seven competitive games, throwing question marks above their favourite pricing. Meanwhile, Sunderland are unbeaten in three of their opening four league games and only lost when playing with ten men.

West Brom have only failed to score in two of their last nine matches at the Hawthorns, while both teams have scored in three of their four matches this season. Hull on the other hand have kept just one clean sheet in five outings, seeing both teams net on four occasions.

Monaco have failed to keep a clean sheet across any of their last seven matches. They have also failed to keep a clean sheet in their last three clashes with visitors Lens.

Lazio are unbeaten in their last six head-to-head meetings with Torino, and their tally of 35 goals on the road in Serie A last term was bettered by just four sides. However, they have just one clean sheet in their last 10 competitive games and Torino have scored five goals in two games this season so the hosts should at least be able to get on the scoresheet.

Union Berlin currently enjoy their longest ever unbeaten run of Bundesliga games (W7, D2) and have won each of the last three H2H encounters. Meanwhile, Leipzig failed to win 11 of their last 15 away league games when entered as betting favourites.

Both teams have scored in each of the last three meetings between these two sides and there were 10 goals scored in total across their two league meetings last season.  Kiel have scored in both of their league fixtures this term as have Paderborn, and both sides have hit five goals in total in the Bundesliga 2 so we feel both of these attacks should be able to get on the scoresheet.

The visitors face a quick turnaround but they do have a good record of scoring against Hibernian. A tight match is likely but Rangers should be able to score a couple and claim three points.

Tottenham are scoring on average exactly three goals a game at home over the course of their last eight games and they’ve scored six goals this season in total.  Wolves have only managed one goal and offered little in attack at home to Fulham last time out so a comfortable win for the hosts with room to spare could be on the cards.

Hartlepool have drawn their last two home matches while Bradford have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four League Two away games and have lost both of their trips so far this season.

Tottenham have made an unbeaten start to the new season (W1, D1) and have been in fine form at home for some time, winning seven of their last eight Premier League fixtures in North London in a run stretching back to a 2-0 defeat to Saturday’s opponents in February. Wolves have just one point from their two games so far and are now winless in nine in the Premier League going back to last season so we’re expecting a win for the hosts.

Burton have been unlucky in their last two matches and created a better xG rating than Ipswich on Tuesday, whilst visitors Port Vale are winless in their last four.

Leicester have scored twice in both games this season and they averaged over two goals per home match last season. Saints have conceded at least twice in their last eight league games and they’ve shipped two or more in 21 of their last 25 away trips.

West Brom have only failed to score in two of their last nine matches at the Hawthorns, while both teams have scored in three of their four matches this season. Hull on the other hand have kept just one clean sheet in five outings, seeing both teams net on four occasions.

There have been goals at both ends in both of Stuttgart’s Bundesliga games this season and they have scored in all three of their games across all competitions.  Freiburg have also scored in each of their three games and both teams to score has been a winning bet in eight of their last nine competitive games.

Both teams have scored in six of Forest Green’s last seven matches and in Plymouth’s last three away matches, with eight goals being scored in Saturday’s visitors’ last two outings.

Both teams have found the back of the net in four of the previous five meetings. Lincoln City have conceded in all of their previous five meetings with the hosts.

Carlisle have scored in all of their games this term. The Cumbrians play positive football under Paul Simpson but they may struggle to shutout Stevenage, who remain unbeaten and have scored in all five of their games across all competitions this season. 

Swansea have seen both teams score in five of their last seven matches, including a 2-2 draw with Millwall when they were pegged back by two injury time goals, whereas Luton have not kept a clean sheet this season, with both teams netting in two of their last four.

Borussia Dortmund have won all three of their competitive games this season, scoring seven goals and conceding just once.  BVB should have too much quality for promoted Bremen who are still waiting for their first win after securing a top flight return.

Leyton Orient played well even with a draw last time out and can bounce back with a win against a depleted Colchester. The Londoners should have too much firepower for Colchester, who have scored just twice in the last three games.

Crystal Palace have lost just one of their last nine home games and held Liverpool to a draw at Anfield last weekend. Villa were poor in a season-opening 2-0 loss at Bournemouth and have four defeats in their last six trips, so a win for the Eagles looks likely in this Premier League clash.

Derby have taken seven points from their four League One matches this season and are unbeaten in their last three in all competitions, whilst Fleetwood have won one of their last 11 League One matches.

Sheffield United have picked up seven points from the last nine available and are yet to fall behind in a home league game this season. The Blades have won five of the last six home encounters with Blackburn in all competitions and can continue that dominance by seeing off Rovers on Saturday. 

Wrexham have endured a frustrating start to the season with just four points to show from three games but they did win their only home game so far.  Wrexham are unbeaten in 90 minutes in their last 15 competitive home games, winning 13, and should be too strong for visitors Maidstone.

Genk have won their last three games in a row after losing their season opener, scoring 11 goals in the process.  Cercle Brugge have lost two of their last four games and have scored just one goal during that run, and they look set for another defeat on Saturday.

Salernitana have gone five competitive matches without a victory, losing each of their last three, and were hammered 4-0 by Udinese in May. The hosts, meanwhile, have won three home matches in a row, including friendlies.

Betis had the third best away record in La Liga last season as they won nine of their 19 trips, losing just four.  Betis kicked off the new season with a 3-0 win over Elche and can see off a Mallorca outfit who lost four of their final seven home games last season and drew a blank in a 0-0 draw at Bilbao in their season opener.

Granada kicked off their bid to secure an immediate return to the top flight in Spain with a 2-0 win at Ibiza.  The hosts should have too much for promoted Racing Santander, who lost 2-0 at home to fellow promoted outfit Villarreal B in their own curtain raiser.

Everton won four of their five clashes at home to the bottom six last term and they can take advantage of Nottingham Forest this weekend. The visitors have conceded more shots than any Premier League side this term and they’ve got the highest xG against tally.

Leicester won 10 of 19 home games last season and they have beaten Saints in their last three clashes at the King Power. The Saints have lost four of their last five away games in the league.

Arsenal have won both of their league games so far by two-goal margins and can continue that run at Bournemouth.  The Cherries lost 4-0 at Manchester City last time out and are likely to struggle against the Premier League’s top sides.

Leeds lost all 12 of their clashes with the Big Six last term and they conceded over half of their total goals against in those defeats. Chelsea looked improved going forward against Tottenham in their last game so back them to secure a comfortable win.

City won by two clear goals in 19 of their 29 Premier League wins last season, blowing away Newcastle in both clashes. They won 9-0 across the two league meetings, with the Magpies losing all eight encounters with the top four.

Manchester United have won just one of their last 12 Premier League games against Liverpool and they’ve made a dire start to the season. After four straight league defeats, expect the Red Devils to be blown away by the visitors.

Exeter won 7-0 at Cheltenham in the EFL Cup earlier this season and have made a strong start to the campaign in League One, with eight points from four games so far.  The Grecians have scored seven goals and conceded just one in two home games and can win with room to spare against a Robins outfit who are yet to score on their travels.

Mansfield have had a mixed start to the season but they have won both of their home league games, including a 5-2 win over Wimbledon last time out.  Stockport have three defeats in four League Two games so far and look set for another defeat.

Portsmouth have drawn first blood in nine of the last ten meetings with Bristol Rovers. The hosts are unbeaten across their last five matches and have won their last three. The visitors have failed to keep a clean sheet in 11 successive matches against Portsmouth and have lost their last two away games. 

At least three goals have been scored in eight of Reading’s last 11 home Championship matches and also in eight of Middlesbrough’s last 12 away league contests. The Royals have scored multiple goals in four of their last six at home while Boro have conceded two or more in their last three road trips so over 2.5 goals appeals. 

Crystal Palace have lost just one of their last nine home games and held Liverpool to a draw at Anfield last weekend. Villa were poor in a season-opening 2-0 loss at Bournemouth and have four defeats in their last six trips, so a win for the Eagles looks likely in this Premier League clash.

Everton won four of their five clashes at home to the bottom six last term and they can take advantage of Nottingham Forest this weekend. The visitors have conceded more shots than any Premier League side this term and they’ve got the highest xG against tally.

The Cottagers have only failed to score in one of their last 12 home games and they drew that blank against a Nottingham Forest side pushing for promotion when they themselves had already booked their place in the Premier League. Brentford have scored six goals in just two games so far, while both teams to score has been a winning bet in seven of their last eight league trips and they haven’t managed a clean sheet on the road since September so we’re expecting both teams to make a breakthrough.

Leicester have scored twice in both games this season and they averaged over two goals per home match last season. The Saints have conceded at least twice in their last eight league games and they’ve shipped two or more in 21 of their last 25 away trips.

Arsenal have won both of their league games so far by two-goal margins and can continue that run at Bournemouth. The Cherries lost 4-0 at Manchester City last time out and are likely to continue to struggle against the Premier League’s top sides, so a win for the Gunners with a -1 handicap stands out.

Alex W – Everton have inspired little confidence so far and have the worst xGA and fourth-worst xG in the league. They have won just six league games in 2022 and face a buoyant Nottingham Forest side that fully deserved their win last weekend.

Alex H – Exeter have already thrashed Cheltenham 7-0 this season in the EFL Cup and can get another big win. The visitors have lost six so far this season and scored just two goals across that sequence, while Exeter beat Wycombe 3-1 on Tuesday.

Aaron – Leicester have made a slow start to the season but they have scored twice in both their league games so far and face a Southampton side who they beat 4-1 back in May. The Saints have conceded two or more in their last eight Premier League games and in 21 of their last 25 league away games.

Steve – Portsmouth look like they mean business after an unbeaten start to the season and they thrashed Cambridge 4-1 last time out. Danny Cowley has recruited well and Bristol Rovers have lost their last two away games.

Joe – Middlesbrough have been unfortunate not to pick up a win yet but they have the best xG in the division and Reading have been on the end of some dreadful results already this season.

Gareth – Sassuolo endured a poor end to last season but they should be able to kickstart their campaign at home to a newly-promoted Lecce side that were lucky to only lose 2-1 to Inter in their Serie A curtain-raiser.

Amadou Onana may have made his name as a defensive midfielder but he added energy and threat against Villa on Saturday. He matched midfield partner Abdoulaye Doucoure’s shot tally for the season in just nine minutes of play, inspiring Everton to almost turn things around from 2-0 down. Following that debut, he’s a big price to score this weekend.

Brentford midfielder Josh Dasilva looks a good contender for an anytime goal when the Bees make the short trip to Fulham. The 23-year-old has scored in each of Brentford’s games so far and could be set for a big season after an injury-hit campaign last time out.

When Palace win at home, they usually manage to keep their opponents at bay and each of their last four home victories have been accompanied by clean sheets. Indeed, they showed real defensive resolve to hold out against Liverpool last week and limit them to just one goal, so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them record a shut-out against Villa on Saturday. With that in mind, a 2-0 home win looks a reasonable option for our correct score bet as Villa have conceded at least twice in four of their last six away from home and exactly twice in three of those.

Brentford should be full of confidence after picking up four points from two games so far, and an entertaining 2-2 draw appeals in the correct score market. Both of these sides have already been involved in a 2-2 draw this term, while Fulham averaged exactly two goals per-game at home in the Championship last season and the Bees have scored at least twice in five of their last seven competitive away games.

Leicester have scored twice in both games this season and they averaged over two goals per home match last season. Saints have conceded at least twice in their last eight league games and they’ve shipped two or more in 21 of their last 25 away trips.

Arsenal have scored six goals in two games so far and two of their three games way to promoted sides last season produced over 2.5 goals.  Bournemouth shipped four at Manchester City last time out and are likely to concede a couple against another strong attack, but the Cherries may also be able to score themselves in front of their onw fans so we should see over 2.5 goals in this late Premier League kick off.

Six of Torino’s last eight competitive matches have contained over 2.5 goals, as have eight of the last 10 to feature Lazio. Meanwhile, the Biancocelesti saw a total of 68 goals scored in their 19 away Serie A matches last season.

Sassuolo saw over 2.5 goals scored in 30 of their 38 league matches last term, and each of their last five competitive outings have seen a minimum of three match goals. Alessio Dionisi’s hosts have also conceded three goals in each of their last three competitive games.

Celta Vigo hate playing Real, failing to beat them in 16 league meetings, 14 of which have contained three or more goals.  Over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in six of Los Blancos’ last 10 competitive away games.

Inter have seen each of their last 10 competitive matches contain over 2.5 goals, winning eight during that run. However, the Nerazzurri have kept just one clean sheet in their last eight competitive games.

There are usually goals when these two meet as evident by the fact that all of the last seven meetings at this venue have seen both teams score. Both teams have also scored in Marseilles last two games. Marseille have won five of their last six home games in Ligue 1 and should be able to claim all three points but both teams are likely to score.

Real Madrid have not hit peak form in their opening two games so far, squeezing past Almeria 2-1 in their opening league game. Celta Vigo have conceded at least two goals in their last 16 league fixtures against Real but they have only failed to score in two of their last 14 competitive home games so the hosts should at least be able to grab a consolation effort.
