Over 2.5 Goals Tips: 16/1 five-fold for Saturday’s action

Goals are the order of the day for us on Saturday as I’ve looked up and down the pyramid to come up with our Over 2.5 Goals Tips.

With crucial games now taking place in promotion and relegation battles, every goal counts, and you can find my five-fold down below, for Saturday, April 11.

Arsenal vs Bournemouth @ 8/13

The Premier League leaders host Bournemouth at the Emirates on Saturday, and I think we could see an entertaining encounter. That potentially goes against what we have seen from Arsenal recently, five of their last six games in all competitions have seen under 2.5 goals.

When you see Bournemouth have had three 0-0 draws in their last five games, you may wonder why I’ve made this selection. However, they drew 2-2 with Man Utd prior to the international break and I see them taking this game to the Gunners - who were in Champions League action on Wednesday.

Norwich vs Ipswich @ 10/11

Norwich and Ipswich collide in the East Anglian Derby on Saturday and I’m expecting goals. Ipswich have scored in each of their last nine games and boast some of the finest attackers in the Championship, while Norwich have been phenomenal under Philippe Clement. 

Defensively they have massively improved, but I just think derby day will bring out the best of both of these teams. The reverse fixture finished 3-1 to Ipswich, and I can see both attacks finding the net again at Carrow Road.

Southampton vs Derby @ 8/11

How good are Southampton right now? 16 games unbeaten, with Arsenal, Coventry and Fulham just a few of the teams they have beaten recently during their winning run. Tonda Eckert has done a simply wonderful job on the South Coast and his side hammered Wrexham 5-1 away from home in midweek. 

Three of their last five have seen over 2.5 goals while Derby’s last away game ended in a 3-2 defeat. With Ben Brereton Diaz, Carlton Morris and Bobby Clark they certainly pose a threat, so there should be goals at St Mary’s.

Cardiff vs Bolton @ 1/2

Promotion-chasing Cardiff City had to watch Lincoln seal their place in the Championship last weekend, but they will be desperate to secure second spot as soon as possible. They’ve only scored one goal in their last three, but Bolton have been really entertaining - drawing 2-2 with Stockport and beating in-form Plymouth 2-1 in their last two outings. 

This should be a top-class encounter. 

Lincoln vs Leyton Orient @ 1/2

We can expect a party at Sincil Bank on Saturday as Lincoln City’s heroes return to their home stadium to celebrate their promotion. After victory at Reading last weekend, the Imps need just a few more points to secure the title. 

I think they will fancy their chances of tearing Leyton Orient apart - a side who sit 15th but have conceded a massive 64 goals already this term. That’s the joint-highest total in the division, so they are likely to concede a few in this one as well.
