Topping the charts for the weekend’s fixtures for over 2.5 goals is Serie A league leaders AC Milan’s trip to Spezia.
Both sides are overachieving, as Spezia were one of the favourites to be relegated this season, but, due to their firepower having scored 28 goals in 21 matches they are defying the odds in 16th place, whilst AC have managed 45 in the same number of games.
The over 2.5 goal market has landed in three of Spezia’s last five games, which includes a 2-1 win at Sassuolo and two defats against Napoli and Roma where they lost 4-2 and 4-3, showing that they are an attacking outfit that will have a go at any opponent that they face.
Meanwhile, AC have managed to be involved in four over 2.5 goal fixtures in their last five outings, most recently in their 4-0 win against Crotone last weekend.
Last time these two sides met was back in October when Milan won 3-0 at the San Siro thanks to a Rafael Leao brace and a strike from French left-back Theo Hernandez, so fingers crossed there will be as many goals in this fixture again.
Over 2.5 goals is priced at 4/6, which is fair odds due to both of these side’s statistics.
Borussia Dortmund against Hoffenheim is the next fixture on this list for the over 2.5 goals market.
Dortmund’s faltering form sees them in sixth place in the league, whilst Hoffenheim currently sit in 12th place having only won six of their 22 league matches this campaign.
The over 2.5 goals market has landed in all of the last five matches that the Black and Yellow’s have played in, having scored nine and conceded ten in their last five matches against the likes of Freiburg, Paderborn, Augsburg, Borussia Monchengladbach and Bayer Leverkusen.
Meanwhile, Hoffenheim have been in four matches that have had over 2.5 goals in their last five fixtures, having beaten both Hertha Berlin and Koln 3-0, before suffering heavy 4-1 and 3-1 defeats against Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt.
Dortmund are a team that are known for their aggressive attacking style, hence why they have scored 39 and conceded 29 in the 20 league matches that they have played, so we can expect this to be an open game.
Over 2.5 goals has the odds of 3/8 for this match, which is no surprise considering the inconsistencies both sides have had this season.
Next on the list is Oldham Athletic against Exeter City at Boundary Park in League Two.
Last time these two sides met was back in November last year, when Oldham Athletic came out as 2-1 winners at St James’ Park, thanks to goals from George Blackwood and Danny Rowe.
The over 2.5 goals market has landed three times in Oldham’s last five matches, whilst it has happened twice in Exeter’s last five, including last time out when they beat Bradford 3-2 at home.
This game will hopefully be one that is filled with goals as the league statistics suggest, as Exeter are the top scorers in the division, having found the back of the net 48 times in 26 matches, whilst Oldham who have scored just seven fewer goals have the join worst defence in League Two, conceding 46 times.
This game is priced at 4/5 to have over 2.5 goals in it.
Our next selected fixture sees Olympique Lyon take on Montpellier in Ligue 1 at the Groupama Stadium on Saturday night.
Lyon are flying in the league, having won four matches in a row, seeing them sit second in the table just two points behind league leaders Lille. Meanwhile, Montpellier are 11th in Ligue 1, mainly due to having the second-worst defence in the division as they have leaked 44 goals in 24 matches.
Montpellier have been involved in four games with over 2.5 goals in their last five matches, meanwhile, Lyon have been in three, with their most recent being in their last match against Strasbourg where they won 3-0 last Saturday.
Last time these two sides met Montpellier won the game 2-1 back in September, which is a shock result considering the current Ligue 1 standings.
Lyon against Montpellier is priced at 1/2 to have over 2.5 goals in it.
The final game in this list of matches that are most likely to have over 2.5 goals in them this weekend is Manchester United’s visit to The Hawthorns where they face West Bromwich Albion.
At present United are second in the Premier League, whilst West Brom are 19th. The Red Devils are the top scorers in the league having scored 49 goals in 23 matches, whilst West Brom have the worst defensive record in the division, conceding 54 times.
The over 2.5 goals market has landed in four of the Baggies last five matches, whilst United have been involved in three, most recently in last Saturday’s 3-3 draw against Everton at Old Trafford.
This match has the odds of 6/10 to have over 2.5 goals in it.
