Bournemouth v Norwich City – Under 5.5 Goals

Norwich have made 27 league trips since the beginning of what was to be a promotion-winning campaign last season, with none of these encounters serving up more than five goals. Although not quite on the same scale, it is worth noting that under 5.5 goals has also been the order of the day in 12 Bournemouth fixtures in a row at this level in front of their own fans.

Lyon v Dijon – Under 5.5 Goals

Since losing 5-2 at home to Lyon in April 2018, Dijon have been involved in 53 consecutive Ligue 1 matches featuring under 5.5 goals, including the two-legged playoff success against Lens that preserved their top-flight status last season. As for their hosts, the seven-time champions have now been involved in 19 games out of 20 containing five goals or fewer.

Crystal Palace v Manchester City – Under 5.5 Goals

Since losing 4-3 at Liverpool in January 2018, Manchester City have made 30 top-flight trips, with each and every one of these away games serving up no more than five goals in total. Given that 19 of the previous 20 Crystal Palace matches on their own patch at this level have followed suit, it would come as a surprise were this fixture not to deliver under 5.5 goals.

Sevilla v Levante – Under 5.5 Goals

Under 5.5 goals has been the order of the day in 19 successive Sevilla matches at this level, meaning that the five-time Europa League winners have been the epitome of consistency on that particular front. That said, Levante are on an even longer sequence of top-flight fixtures containing five goals or fewer, with their run currently standing at an impressive 31 games.

Fenerbahce v Antalyaspor - Under 5.5 Goals

Although Fenerbahce’s previous 20 top-flight home fixtures have averaged just over three goals per game, it should be pointed out that none of these contests has delivered more than five successful strikes. None of the most recent 20 Antalyaspor away matches at this level have served up over 5.5 goals either, so don’t expect that pattern to change in this clash.

St. Gallen v Basel - Under 5.5 Goals

The nine Swiss Super League matches involving Basel this season may have yielded 32 goals, yet none of these individual encounters has broken through the magical five-goal barrier. In fact, under 5.5 goals has been the order of the day across the visitors’ last 20 games at this level, as well as in each of St. Gallen’s most recent 20 top-flight fixtures.

Eintracht Frankfurt v Werder Bremen - Under 5.5 Goals

When Eintracht Frankfurt take to the field in front of their own supporters, under 5.5 goals tends to be on the menu, with this being the case in 16 consecutive Bundesliga matches at the Commerzbank-Arena. As for Werder Bremen, they have now gone 27 top-flight away fixtures on the spin since they were last involved in a contest featuring more than five goals.

Saint-Etienne v Lyon - Under 5.5 Goals

Saint-Etienne have now been involved in 16 consecutive Ligue 1 home games that have yielded under 5.5 goals, so the famous French club have been the epitome of consistency on that front. Fierce rivals Lyon can go one better on the road, with the seven-time champions currently on a streak of 17 away matches in which five goals or fewer have been netted.

Over / Under 5.5 Goals Tips and Predictions - Friday 27th September to Monday 30th September

Jahn Regensburg v Hamburg – Under 5.5 Goals

Although they have been involved in some exciting encounters on their own patch recently, the fact remains that none of the previous 24 Jahn Regensburg home matches in the second tier have produced more than five successful strikes. The same is true of 19 of the last 20 Hamburg away games, so it would come as a bit of a surprise were anything to change here.

Bournemouth v West Ham United – Under 5.5 Goals

Encounters featuring over 5.5 goals have been few and far between in recent Bournemouth home matches at the top table of English football, with just one of their previous 19 games falling into this category. As for high-flying West Ham, they have now gone 30 top-flight away fixtures since they were last involved in a contest featuring more than five goals.

Everton v Manchester City – Under 5.5 Goals

Over the course of their last 25 top-flight matches, Everton have not been involved in a single contest containing over 5.5 goals, so supporters of the Toffees know what they are getting on that front. Despite the wealth of attacking talent at their disposal, none of the previous 29 Manchester City away games at this level have served up more than five goals either.

Greuther Furth v Holstein Kiel – Under 5.5 Goals

It seems that promotion-chasing Greuther Furth are to games involving over 5.5 goals what oil is to water, with none of their previous 20 second-tier encounters falling into this scoring category. It has been a similar story as far as Holstein Kiel are concerned at this level of late, as every single one of their last 15 fixtures has delivered no more than five successful strikes.

Over / Under 5.5 Goals Tips and Predictions - Friday 20th September to Monday 23rd September

Fenerbahce v MKE Ankaragücü – Under 5.5 Goals

Although Fenerbahce are one of the traditional powerhouses of Turkish football, none of their previous 29 home matches in the top-flight have delivered more than five goals. As for Ankaragücü, they themselves have now been involved in 14 consecutive league fixtures of the under 5.5 goals variety, so don’t expect that barrier to be broken through in this clash.

Genk v Oostende – Under 5.5 Goals

If any game across Europe this weekend is destined to contain under 5.5 goals, then this meeting between Genk and Oostende surely has to be it. This is because a quick look at the respective home and away records of the two teams across their most recent 20 top-flight matches shows us that neither side has been involved in a contest containing over 5.5 goals.

Arsenal v Aston Villa – Under 5.5 Goals

Including the playoffs, none of the last 20 league games involving Aston Villa have produced more than five goals, so Dean Smith’s charges have been the epitome of consistency on that front. Despite boasting an incredible attack and a shaky defence, Arsenal have themselves been involved in 15 consecutive Premier League fixtures of the under 5.5 goals variety.

Eintracht Frankfurt v Borussia Dortmund – Under 5.5 Goals

Borussia Dortmund may be regarded as one of the most awesome attacking outfits on the planet, yet none of their previous 16 away games in the Bundesliga have served up in excess of five goals. Eintracht Frankfurt are themselves on a run of 15 consecutive top-flight home matches that have delivered under 5.5 goals, so more of the same is expected in this contest.
