Over / Under 5.5 Goals Tips and Predictions - Friday 17th to Monday 20th January
RB Leipzig v Union Berlin – Under 5.5 Goals
Including the playoffs, Union Berlin have now played 62 times in the league since they were last involved in a contest containing more than five goals, which really is an incredible statistic. RB Leipzig have been pretty consistent on this front themselves in Bundesliga home matches recently, as 19 of their previous 20 fixtures have been of the under 5.5 goals variety.
Ajax v Sparta Rotterdam – Under 5.5 Goals
Under 5.5 goals has been the order of the day in 12 consecutive Sparta Rotterdam matches at this level, as well as in 17 of their 18 top-flight fixtures following promotion. Although Ajax have made a habit out of battering most of the teams that visit them in the Eredivisie, it is still worth noting that 13 of their previous 16 home games have produced no more than five goals.
Hertha Berlin v Bayern Munich – Under 5.5 Goals
The last three Hertha Berlin matches at this level have produced a grand total of two goals, whilst 16 of their most recent 17 fixtures in the top-flight have been of the under 5.5 goals variety. Despite boasting a wealth of attacking talent, it is noticeable that just two of Bayern Munich’s previous 20 away games in the Bundesliga have served up more than five goals.
Atalanta v SPAL – Under 5.5 Goals
One area in which SPAL have been the epitome of consistency is in their involvement in Serie A fixtures containing under 5.5 goals, with this being the case in 24 consecutive encounters. Although Atalanta cannot quite compete with these numbers, it should be pointed out that no more than five goals have been netted in any of their last ten top-flight matches.
Over / Under 5.5 Goals Tips and Predictions - Friday 10th to Monday 13th January
SL Benfica v C.D. Aves – Under 5.5 Goals
Although Benfica tend to swat most teams aside at the top table of Portuguese football, it has to be significant that none of the European giants’ previous 17 Primeira Liga fixtures have produced more than five goals. This has also been the case in ten consecutive matches involving C.D. Aves at this level, including against both Sporting Lisbon and Porto.
Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool – Under 5.5 Goals
Tottenham have now featured 41 times in the Premier League since they were last involved in a contest containing more than five goals, and the injury-enforced absence of Harry Kane is likely to diminish their attacking threat here. As for all-conquering Liverpool, they have now made 37 consecutive top-flight trips in which under 5.5 goals have been served up.
Aston Villa v Manchester City – Under 5.5 Goals
Despite the fact that hitting the back of the net seems to come easily to Manchester City, it is interesting to note that none of their previous 36 away games in the top-flight has delivered more than five goals. Including the playoffs, Aston Villa’s run of involvement in league fixtures containing under 5.5 goals stretches to 18 matches in front of their own supporters.
Paris Saint-Germain v AS Monaco – Under 5.5 Goals
Somewhat surprisingly, Paris Saint-Germain have now played 25 times in Ligue 1 since they were last involved in a contest containing over 5.5 goals, and that run is likely to be extended against AS Monaco. That is because the visitors have made 31 top-flight trips themselves since they were last involved in an encounter featuring more than five successful strikes.
Over / Under 5.5 Goals Tips and Predictions - Friday 20th to Monday 23rd December
Mainz v Bayer Leverkusen – Under 5.5 Goals
Bayer Leverkusen have been the epitome of consistency when it comes to their involvement in top-flight fixtures containing five goals or fewer, with each of their previous 16 contests subscribing to this particular scoring model. Mainz have not been quite so consistent, yet 13 of their 16 Bundesliga games during the same period have also delivered under 5.5 goals.
PSV Eindhoven v PEC Zwolle – Under 5.5 Goals
Since drawing 3-3 at Vitesse Arnhem back in April, PSV Eindhoven have featured 22 times at the top table of Dutch football, with none of these contests producing more than five goals. It has been a similar story as far as PEC Zwolle are concerned on their travels recently, as they have now been involved in 26 consecutive league matches containing under 5.5 goals.
Paris Saint-Germain v Amiens – Under 5.5 Goals
If someone told you that none of the previous 24 Paris Saint-Germain matches in Ligue 1 had produced more than five goals, you would probably be quite surprised, yet that is the reality of the situation. As for Amiens, 19 of their last 20 away games at this level have also been of the under 5.5 goals variety, so something similar is expected when the two teams lock horns.
Ajax v ADO Den Haag – Under 5.5 Goals
Although the previous nine Ajax home matches in the Eredivisie have served up a grand total of 37 goals, it has to be seen as significant that the net has bulged no more than five times in any single fixture. What’s more, Den Haag have now made 17 top-flight trips since they were last involved in a contest containing over 5.5 goals, so they have been incredibly consistent.
Over Under Goals Explained
This betting market is fairly straightforward.
If you back over 5.5 goals, you’re betting that over 6 will be scored over the course of 90 minutes. If you back under, you think less than 6 will be scored.
Terms and Conditions
It’s irrelevant of the final number of goal scores, just whether the total goals is more or less than 6. For example, your bet wins if the number is more than 6 and you backed over.

Also, it’s important to note that over/under goals bets run for the full 90 minutes. This doesn’t include extra time or penalties.
