Goal Rush Saturday 3rd October

Goal Rush 3rd October

The leaves are turning golden brown across Europe and as the weather begins to turn I am hoping that the fortunes of the Goal Rush remain constant. A 4-1 day last Saturday has considerably helped the season long performance and interestingly home wins are hitting at a rate of 63%. Obviously twenty seven games is not a large sample size to draw any definitive conclusions from but it is a fact I feel that you should be aware of moving forward.

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

Over 1.5 goals 24-3
Over 2.5 goals 20-7
Goal Distribution 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6 and 7
BTTS 19-8 to the Yes
17 home wins, 3 draws and 7 away wins

This Saturday we have three games in the Goal Rush column so here we go....

Pescara v Cagliari, Serie B 2pm kick off UK Time
These sides have not met since the 2012-13 season when their three meetings, including one cup match, saw a total of eleven goals be scored. This season matches involving Cagliari have gone 5-0 to Yes on BTTS and 4-1 on the over 2.5 goals with the one under the total seeing two goals scored. Both of Pescara's home games this campaign have seen Yes on BTTS so you have to be confident they will find the net in this game too. At odds against this looks a good bet to continue the fine run of the Goal Rush on the over 2.5 goals

Sarpsborg 08 v Stromsgodset, Norwegian Eliteserien 230pm kick off UK Time
It was one apiece when the sides met back in May and going back to 2010-11 season the Yes on BTTS is 6-1 in the seven meetings of the teams. The only No was the goalless draw between the sides last October and Stromsgodset are unbeaten in those seven games. Twelve Sarpsborg home games have seen a total of thirty seven goals and there have been fifty goals in Stromsgodset's thirteen away games. With both teams' games in this spot this season averaging over three goals and historical trends suggesting both teams will score I am more than happy to take the over 2.5 goals.

Norwich v Leicester, EPL 3pm kick off UK Time
Both of these teams could be, despite Leicester's bright start, be involved in a relegation battle come the end of the season. However, at this stage of the season neither team look as if they will go into their shell when they face similar type opposition. At the moment both teams' attacking threat looks far greater than their defensive strength. Back the over 2.5 goals.


Good luck with all your bets this weekend and let's hope we extend this 20-7 run!

All the best
