Sunday Goal Rush

Sunday Goal Rush

Good morning ‘Team Goals’. Hope we are all enjoying a lazy Sunday and resting up ahead of what I am sure will be another tough work week for us all! The past five bets put forward, thankfully all winners, were priced 4/5 or greater but today we are looking at one that is a little bit shorter of a bet, currently available around the 1.67 mark on the Exchanges.

Stuttgart v Schalke , 230pm kick off UK Time

The last eight meetings of the sides have hit the over 2.5 goal mark with Yes on BTTS going 5-3. In fact over 2.5 goals is 16-3 in their last nineteen meetings since May 2006. Although it is still early in the season both sides are averaging over 2.5 goals per game with Stuttgart actually averaging over 4 goals per match. Despite losing all four games this campaign the home team have managed to find the net in each of their games. Schalke won 3-0 away to Werder Bremen and lost by the same scoreline in Wolfsburg so both of their away games this season have hit an overs bet. The Bundesliga is the highest scoring of the major high profile European domestic leagues seeing an average of 2.83 goals per game so far this season.

So far the stats for the season long stats for the Goal Rush are as below:

Over 1.5 goals 19-2
Over 2.5 goals 16-5
Goal Distribution 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6 and 7
BTTS 16-5 to the Yes
14 home wins, 3 draws and 4 away wins

Home wins are hitting at a rate of 66% on the above so although it is early days you have to think that any game where you can get the home team over 6/4needs to be considered. Stuttgart are priced around 17/10 for this game and Bundesliga home wins are currently hitting 43%. I am not suggesting you should back them I thought it was worth mentioning their price given the fact that they hit the criteria to score at least once and are priced nicely.

Anyway, be off with you folks and enjoy your Sunday dinner!

Best of luck with your football and NFL bets today and speak soon.

All the best
