Under and Over 2.5 Goals Tips for Today and the Weekend

Friday 19th September – 18:00 – Odense v Fredericia – Over 2.5 Goals

In advance of a trip to Silkeborg, six of the seven Odense matches in the Superliga this season had served up three goals or more. Before hosting Vejle, three of the last four Fredericia games at this level had followed suit, so our over 2.5 goals tips include this fixture.

Sunday 21st September – 14:00 – Sunderland v Aston Villa – Under 2.5 Goals

In the Premier League, seven of the last eight Aston Villa matches have served up two goals or fewer. It has been the same story in ten of the most recent 14 league games played by Sunderland during the regular season, meaning that this contest demands an under 2.5 prediction.

Monday 22nd September – 01:15 – Boca Juniors v Central Cordoba – Under 2.5 Goals

Seven straight Boca Juniors home games in the Primera Division have served up two goals or fewer. This has also been the case in six of the last eight Central Cordoba away matches at this level, meaning that our under 2.5 goals predictions for today feature this encounter.

Under and Over 2.5 goals

Under and Over 2.5 goals bets fall pretty much at the sweet spot in terms of difficulty and reward. There were roughly 2.7 goals per game in the Premier League last season, so lots of games finish with more than 2.5 goals and lots finish with fewer. This means that odds in this market hover usually around evens or just under, and there is lots of value to be found with the right information.

That’s where we come in. For each game we provide stats on how many goals each team has scored and conceded in their last 20 games, how many of their games have finished with under 2.5 goals or over 2.5 goals, their xG for the season and more detailed stats about chance conversion. Our league table which shows how many of a team’s matches finish with under or over 2.5 goals depending on where the team they’re playing is in the table.

Under and Over 2.5 goals Tips and Predictions

Our free over & under 2.5 goals predictions are updated daily and include all of Europe’s 5 major leagues (the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga and Ligue 1), the Europa League and Champions League, as well as some smaller leagues too.

What is an over 2.5 goals bet?

Obviously, you can’t actually have 0.5 of a goal in a game of football. So a bet that there will be over 2.5 goals in a game is a bet that there will be at least 3 goals in the game which would include scorelines such as 2-1, 3-0, 3-1 and so on.

What is an under 2.5 goals bet?

A bet that there will be under 2.5 goals is a bet that there will be 2 goals or fewer in the game, which would include the scorelines 0-0, 1-0 (0-1), 1-1 and 2-0 (0-2).

How do we make our under 2.5 goals and over 2.5 goals predictions?

The first thing to look at when making a prediction that there will be over 2.5 goals in a game is how many goals the two teams have scored and conceded in their previous matches. This isn’t always as simple as it might look at first sight though. We make sure all our goals stats are available for home matches and overall matches, and that they’re for relevant competitions so that big wins against lower league sides don’t muddy the waters.

Our algorithm also takes into account xG as well as a range of attacking and defensive stats when providing an over 2.5 goals or under 2.5 goals prediction, so you can be sure you're getting the best over 2.5 goals information.
