Goal Rush Saturday

Good afternoon Team

Rory Donnelly scored a last minute winner for Gillingham last Saturday which although doing nothing for our Over 2.5 goals or Yes on BTTS bets took us to 40-0 for over 0.5 goals. For the week last Saturday we went 1-3 and although I am not throwing my hands to the air in despair just yet any week in which we go less than .500 disappoints me. It is something I will be monitoring but I will say that the other games that were filtered out did no better so it was not a case of the further analysis letting us down. The up to date stats are below:

 

Over 0.5 goals 40-0

Over 1.5 goals 34-6

Over 2.5 goals 26-14

Over 3.5 goals 14-26

BTTS 28-12 to Yes

20 home wins, 6 draws and 14 away wins

 

This Saturday we have three fixtures for us to be involved with so let us get back to winning ways with a 2-1 weekend and maybe even a cheeky 3-0 Saturday. Fingers crossed Team!

 

Chesterfield v Scunthorpe @ 5/6 , English Division One 3pm kick off UK Time

The teams met five times last season in League and Cup action and every game went over 1.5 goals. Over 2.5 goals only went 2-3 but the home team scored at least twice in each of the five meetings. Scunthorpe managed seven goals in those five meetings so will be confident of finding the net on the road here. Prior to last season Yes on BTTS had landed in five straight meetings of the sides stretching back to August 2009 as this is a fiercely contested local derby. The fourteen combined games in this spot this season, Chesterfield home and Scunthorpe away, have seen no fewer than fifty goals! Overs for me here team.

 

Oud-Heverlee v Beveren @5/6 , Belgium Pro League 7pm kick off UK Time

Over 2.5 goals has hit in three successive meetings of the sides at this venue. In fact those three games have seen 6, 5 and 7 goals respectively so asking for there just to be three goals in this game does not seem too much of an ask! Games involving the home side this season are averaging 2.82 games whilst the away team are averaging a full goal more at 3.82 goals. Give me the over 2.5 goals as a solid selection here.

 

FC Zurich v St Gallen @ 8/11 Switzerland Super League 7pm kick off UK Time

Bottom placed FC Zurich host mid table St Gallen and the home fans have certainly been entertained by goals this season. Twenty four goals have been scored in those five games with Yes on BTTS going 5-0. St Gallen have been involved in many low scoring games this season as they have gone 10-2 to the unders which is probably why this game is priced at this level rather than around 4/7. It is 27-10 to the over 2.5 goals when these two sides meet since August 2003 so even at this price level I am keen to support the overs hitting once more. 

 

Let’s hope the goals rain in and that we bounce back quickly. There may be another Goal Rush column this weekend for Sunday so look out for further links posted on Twitter.

Myself and Pete thank you all greatly for your support and the kind words that you send us for this free podcast. By the way I was not drunk on the podcast this week as for some reason I had Liverpool playing Southampton on Monday Night Football. Maybe I have just spent too much time in America where the last game of the weekend is always MNF!!

 

Best of luck and speak soon
