Hoffenheim vs FC Koln (19:30, BBC iPlayer) - Both Teams To Score & Over 2.5 Goals @ 8/11

The Bundesliga has been full of goals this season, with Eintracht Frankfurt, whose games are averaging six goals, providing the most entertainment in that respect.

Hoffenheim and FC Koln aren't scaling those heights, but their games are averaging four and 3.8 goals, respectively.

Both teams have scored in all five of Hoffenheim's league matches this season, with over 2.5 goals landing in all but one.

Football Odds

FC Koln, meanwhile, have seen both teams find the net in 80% (four) of their Bundesliga games, with BTTS-Yes and over 2.5 goals a winning selection in all four.

This fixture has a strong recent history of both teams scoring, with Hoffenheim and FC Köln getting on the scoresheet in the last four head-to-heads. Given that neither has blanked yet this season, backing both teams to score, alongside over 2.5 goals, looks like the smart play at the PreZero Arena in Sinsheim.

Paris FC vs Lorient (19:45, Ligue 1 Pass) - Both Teams To Score & Over 2.5 Goals @ 1/1

We're going with the same selection in Friday's Ligue 1 encounter between Paris FC and Lorient at the Stade Jean Bouin.

Last season's corresponding fixture in Ligue 2 produced five goals, with Paris FC winning 3-2 in the French capital.

Eventual champions Lorient scored a division-high 68 goals last season, with their matches averaging 2.91 goals.

Paris FC scored 55 and conceded 33, averaging 2.58 goals per game.

Today's Football Fixtures

Neither side has encountered any issues finding the back of the net in the top flight, with Paris FC scoring 10 in six, and Lorient nine in six; however, they have shipped 13 and 14 goals, respectively - only bottom club Metz (13) have also conceded 13+.

Paris FC's Ligue 1 games are averaging 3.83 goals per game, the same as Lorient.

Both teams have scored in Paris FC's last five games, and three of Lorient's last four, while BTTS-Yes and over 2.5 goals has landed in 66.6% (four) of Paris FC's matches, and 33.3% (two) of Lorient's.

Wrexham vs Birmingham City (20:00, Sky Sports Football) - Both Teams To Score @ 4/5

Only Coventry City and Hull City (both 29) have seen more goals scored in their first eight EFL Championship games this season than Wrexham (27), who have notched 13 times but conceded once more.

Unsurprisingly, the Red Dragons are joint-top of the second division 'Both Teams To Score' table, with 88% (seven) of their league matches seeing BTTS-Yes land, just like Southampton.

Only 38% (three) of Birmingham's have seen both teams score, but one of those occasions was earlier this week, as they fought from 2-1 down to draw 2-2 with Sheffield Wednesday.

Chris Davies' side had struggled for goals prior to that stalemate with The Owls, netting just once in five matches across all competitions, but the Blues will hope two goals on Tuesday has increased confidence among the forward line, and Wrexham are ideal opponents to face on Friday, with Phil Parkinson's charges keeping just a single clean sheet this season.

Bournemouth vs Fulham (20:00, Sky Sports Main Event) - Bournemouth to Win @ 1/1

Fulham's last three visits to the Vitality Stadium have ended in defeat, with the latest, in April earlier this year, finishing 1-0 to the Cherries.

Friday's hosts have made a positive start to the season, winning three, drawing two, and losing one, of their first six matches, and if they claim all three points against the Cottagers, they will move second, just a point behind leaders Liverpool, albeit the rest of the Premier League will be in action on Saturday and Sunday.

Fulham's start has been solid, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats, but one of those losses came last time out at Aston Villa (3-1), where they took the lead in the third minute through Raul Jimenez, who was forced off injured in the 11th and had to watch on as his side conceded three times without reply.

With the Mexican striker doubtful of featuring on Friday due to a hip issue, and fellow forward Rodrigo Muniz already ruled out with a muscle injury, the Cottagers could be left without a recognised number nine, making Bournemouth big favourites to win.

Osasuna vs Getafe (20:00, Premier Sports Player) - Ante Budimir (OSA) Anytime Goalscorer @ 7/5

Osasuna striker Ante Budimir, who struck 17 La Liga goals in 2023/24 and went four better last season, has notched twice this term, finding the winner in a 1-0 victory over Valencia on August 24 and opening the scoring in a 2-1 defeat to Villarreal on September 20.

The 34-year-old has blanked in his last two appearances, a 1-1 draw with Elche on September 25 and a 2-0 loss at Real Betis four days later, but he will be buoyed by the identity of Osasuna's next opponents.

Budimir has a terrific goalscoring record against Getafe, scoring five in eight games. Osasuna drew 1-1 away and lost 2-1 at home to the Azulones last season, and the Croatia international was responsible for both of their strikes.

He's scored in three of his last four appearances against Jose Bordalas' side, and is backed to make it four in five at the Estadio El Sadar in Pamplona on Friday.
