Over 2.5 Goals Tips: Boosted 7/1 five-fold for Saturday

Premier League and Championship action makes way for the third round of the FA Cup this weekend, while there is still EFL action from League 1 and League 2. The cup is where it as, though, in my opinion as I pick out four games from this competition, with one game thrown in from the Scottish Premiership.

Check out my boosted Over 2.5 Goals Tips below.

Football Odds

Manchester City vs Exeter

It's very much David versus Goliath as Exeter City of League 1 attempt to stun Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in the FA Cup. I was delighted to see this tie drawn given the Grecians' financial troubles, but disappointed it wasn't given a prime TV slot while two all-Premier League affairs were selected. So much for football being a community.

Anyways, you aren't here for my ramblings on such matters. The game itself looks like a big ask for Exeter given the gulf in class between the two squads. Guardiola can afford to rotate fairly heavily and still have a lot of quality out on the pitch.

There have been at least three goals scored in seven of City's last 11 competitive matches heading into this clash, while Exeter's latest outing saw them play out a 2-2 draw at Huddersfield Town on Sunday.

Newcastle vs Bournemouth

Newcastle United welcome AFC Bournemouth to St. James' Park as Magpies boss Eddie Howe faces his former employers. The two Premier League clubs have already met this season, playing out a goalless draw at the Vitality Stadium back in September. I'm expecting a lot more entertainment this time around.

Over 2.5 goals has been a winning selection in 10 of Newcastle's past 13 matches in all competitions, five of which have come on home soil. For Bournemouth, each of their previous four outings have produced three or more goals. All eight of the Cherries' last away trips in all competitions have seen over 2.5 goals land, too.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Brentford

Sheffield Wednesday will have wanted a reprieve from their Championship campaign but they are unlikely to get that against Premier League side Brentford at Hillsborough.

The Bees are currently seventh in the top flight as they are silencing their doubters from the summer after losing Thomas Frank and a handful of key players. Keith Andrews has done a stellar job up to this point and they head into this fixture having seen over 2.5 goals strike in three of their past four competitive appearances.

For the hosts, there have been at least three goals scored in four of their previous five outings heading into Saturday's contest.

Celtic vs Dundee United

For the second time this season, Martin O'Neill is back in charge of Celtic following the very short and unsuccessful reign of Wilfred Nancy. The 73-year-old won seven of his eight games in charge of the Hoops before Nancy arrived, and now he will take charge until the end of the campaign.

Celtic are in Scottish Premiership action as they welcome Dundee United to Celtic Park. The Bhoys in Green were beaten by the visitors in the reverse fixture which came on December 17 and so they will look for revenge here.

Five of the Hoops' last six league games have featured three goals or more, including their defeat to the Tangerines at Tannadice Park. The visitors' last away trip saw four goals scored as they beat Livingston 3-1.

Tottenham vs Villa

Evening FA Cup action awaits Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa as they meet in north London on Saturday. Villa were 2-1 victors here when the two teams met here in the Premier League back in October.

Over 2.5 goals has been a successful bet for the Villans in eight of their last nine fixtures across all competitions heading into the weekend. Additionally, there have also been at least three goals scored in five of Spurs' past seven competitive home games.
