Over 2.5 Goals Tips: 12/1 five-fold for Saturday’s goals

Saturday’s football action is absolutely gargantuan, with some crunch games coming our way from around the entire continent. 

We’ve taken a look at the best games for goals this weekend, and below you can find my Over 2.5 Goals Tips. 

Bolton vs Huddersfield (12:30) @ 10/11

Sixty-two percent of Bolton’s home matches this season have seen over 2.5 goals and they hammered Stevenage 5-1 last time out in a phenomenal display. Promotion through the play-offs has to be the aim, while it is also the target for the visitors Huddersfield, who have to make up a four-point gap on Stevenage.

The Terriers have seen over 2.5 goals in 57% of their away matches this term, and I think we should get an open encounter in the lunchtime kick-off.

Bristol City vs Norwich (15:00) @ 10/11

Roy Hodgson is unbeaten since coming in at Ashton Gate (W2, D1), and he has certainly given the Robins a bit of a boost. They and their visitors Norwich have nothing to play for now, after the Canaries were handed a devastating 2-0 loss by East Anglian rivals Ipswich last time out.

I think we could see freedom in this game given the lack of pressure, while Philippe Clement will want a reaction from his side after that derby defeat. I believe there’s goals on the cards at Ashton Gate.

Swansea vs Southampton (15:00) @ 8/11

The unstoppable Saints. Tonda Eckert’s Southampton side have now won seven games in a row in all competitions and are now unbeaten in 18 fixtures in all competitions, which is staggering. 

A 3-0 win over Blackburn in midweek shot them up to fourth, and they are now just three points behind Ipswich in second - with the Tractor Boys still having to play Southampton before the final day. 71% of Southampton’s away games have seen over 2.5 goals, the highest figure in the league, while Swansea possess the top goalscorer in the league in Zan Vipotnik. This one should have goals.

Tottenham vs Brighton (17:30) @ 4/6

Roberto De Zerbi lost his first game in charge of Spurs 1-0 to Sunderland, and Tottenham are now in the bottom three. A game against his former club comes this weekend and I do think we will see improvement and some goals.

Spurs fans have to galvanise to get their side out of this mess and if De Zerbi’s side can start positively, I think they will be just fine. Spurs sit joint-top of the chart for over 2.5 goals in the Premier League this season at 66%, and I think they will want to prove a point against Brighton.

Chelsea vs Manchester United (20:00) @ 8/15

Manchester United lost at home to Leeds on Monday night, and Michael Carrick will want to see a response to that 2-1 defeat. Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez are both suspended for this one so their defence will be weakened against Chelsea and United have seen over 2.5 goals in more games than any other in the Premier League - with 75% of their away fixtures seeing three goals or more.

Chelsea are difficult to predict at the moment, but they are usually good for goals. Sixty-six percent of their games, the same figure as Spurs, have ended with over 2.5 goals so we should see plenty at Stamford Bridge on Saturday night.
