Weekend Goal Rush

Here we are again at the weekend people and I'm pleased to say we steadied the ship with a 2-2 showing last Saturday/Sunday. It appears that goals are doing up all over Europe as the volume of games that qualify for our consideration is dwindling week by week. However, I've still managed to piece together three games that look spot on to deliver the goods but first let's take a peek at our results so far this campaign:


Season Long Record
Over 0.5 goals 111-5
Over 1.5 goals 96-20
Over 2.5 goals 66-50
Over 3.5 goals 39-77
Yes on BTTS 66-50
Home wins 56 Draws 22 Away wins 38


Everton v Arsenal @8/11 English Premier League, 1245pm UK Kick Off Saturday
Arsenal have their season hopes hanging by a thread as they make the trip to Goodison Park this Saturday for the EPL's lunchtime kick off. The home team have struggled on their own patch this season but there has been plenty of goalmouth action with over 2.5 goals going 10-5. On the road Arsenal have also been full of goals as they are 9-6 to the over and this will be a fast and open game and an early goal should ignite this encounter. I love the overs on the goal line though as Arsenal can't defend at the moment whilst the home team look the ideal fodder for Arsenal's slick passing moves.

Roma v Inter @ 19/20 Italian Serie A, 745pm UK Kick Off Saturday 
These sides have met eighteen times since April 2007 with the over 2.5 goals going 11-7 in that run. Both sides have seen plenty of goals in recent weeks as both of their last six games in league action have gone 5-1 to Yes on BTTS and over 2.5 goals. Roma are 9-5 to over 2.5 goals at the home whilst Inter's fourteen away games have seen thirty four total goals. Give me the overs to hit here in this new Serie A that sees plenty of goals.

Sion v Basel @ 4/5 Swiss Super League, 3pm Sunday 
The Swiss League is averaging 3.08 goals per game so far this season so it's a surprise to see this game priced at such an attractive price. Basel have gone a total 18-5 to the over 2.5 goals this season and on the road they are a strong 8-3 away from home to the over. There have been at least two goals in twenty three of Basel's twenty four league matches this season. The risk/reward looks stacked very much to the reward side here so I'm happy to take overs in this game to top the weekend off.


All the best and speak soon
