Over / Under 5.5 Goals Tips and Predictions - Friday 13th to Monday 16th December

Liverpool v Watford – Under 5.5 Goals

Nigel Pearson proved during his time in charge of Leicester that he knows how to set up a team in the top-flight, so Watford’s current streak of ten matches containing under 5.5 goals is expected to continue. Although Liverpool’s 5-2 win against Everton remains fresh in the mind, each of their 11 top-flight home games prior to that had produced five goals or fewer.

Leicester City v Norwich City – Under 5.5 Goals

Under 5.5 goals has been the order of the day in 47 consecutive Leicester home games in the Premier League, so it would be fair to say that the Foxes have been the epitome of consistency on this particular front. As for Norwich, all 31 of their away matches in the league since the beginning of last season have also been of the under 5.5 goals variety.

Saint-Etienne v Paris Saint-Germain – Under 5.5 Goals

Despite having some serious firepower at their disposal, Paris Saint-Germain have now gone 23 Ligue 1 games since they were last involved in a contest containing over 5.5 goals. These numbers pale into insignificance when measured against those put up by Saint-Etienne in the competition, however, as their current sequence stands at 43 matches of under 5.5 goals.

Porto v Tondela – Under 5.5 Goals

Since beating Vitoria de Setubal 5-1 at the Dragao back in April 2018, Porto have featured 50 times at the top table of Portuguese football, with none of these fixtures delivering more than five goals. Given that 19 of the previous 20 Tondela away matches at this level have followed suit, it is hard to see anything other than under 5.5 goals when the two teams collide.
