Team to Score First Tips and Predictions - Friday 13th to Monday 16th December
Sevilla v Villarreal – Sevilla to score first
Sevilla must have forgotten what it is like to be chasing a game, with the five-time Europa League winners netting the first goal in eight consecutive La Liga fixtures. Villarreal, on the other hand, have now played six top-flight matches since they last opened the scoring, so all the signs point towards them facing another deficit at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
Sporting Charleroi v Cercle Brugge – Sporting Charleroi to score first
Conceding the opening goal has proven to be a real problem for Cercle Brugge recently, happening ten times in 13 matches, which might go some way towards explaining why they currently sit bottom of the table. Charleroi have endured no such difficulties, however, grabbing a 1-0 lead in seven of their last eight games at the highest level of Belgian football.
İstanbul Başakşehir v Konyaspor - İstanbul Başakşehir to score first
Over the course of their last 13 top-flight fixtures, Konyaspor have conceded the first goal on no fewer than nine occasions, so the strugglers seem pretty adept at making life difficult for themselves. The boot has been firmly on the other foot as far as İstanbul Başakşehir are concerned recently, with the title-chasers breaking the deadlock eight times in ten attempts.
Trabzonspor v Denizlispor – Trabzonspor to score first
Trabzonspor boast an excellent recent record when it comes to opening the scoring in Süper Lig fixtures, doing so in an incredible 15 of their previous 19 matches. This would stand the Europa League participants in good stead against most opposition, let alone against a Denizlispor team that has fallen 1-0 behind in nine of their last 11 fixtures at this level.

Everton v Chelsea – Chelsea to score first
When it comes to Premier League away games, Chelsea have developed a happy knack of opening the scoring, doing so six times in a row, including at Manchester City. Everton have been on the other side of the coin at home recently, with the Toffees conceding first in four of their last five top-flight fixtures, so the signs all point in one direction ahead of this clash.
Blackburn Rovers v Derby County – Blackburn Rovers to score first
Derby have a truly abysmal recent record when it comes to conceding the opening goal on their travels, doing so in seven consecutive second-tier fixtures, five of which they have gone on to lose. Blackburn, on the other hand, have been cooking with gas on this particular front of late, taking a 1-0 lead in each of their previous three matches in the Championship.
Bolton Wanderers v AFC Wimbledon – Bolton Wanderers to score first
Three wins in five third-tier fixtures is testament to just how much Bolton have improved recently, with a key to this upturn in fortunes being the fact that they have opened the scoring in all of these games. Wimbledon, by way of contrast, have found it difficult to get their nose in front on the road of late, conceding the first goal five times in seven League One trips.
Grimsby Town v Swindon Town – Swindon Town to score first
Swindon boast a phenomenal recent record when it comes to opening the scoring, doing so 11 times in 15 attempts in League Two, including in six of their last seven matches. The picture has been a very different one from a Grimsby perspective of late, as the Mariners have now conceded the first goal in 12 of their previous 16 games in English football’s fourth tier.

Aberdeen v St. Mirren – Aberdeen to score first
Excluding the playoffs, St. Mirren have conceded the opening goal in 13 consecutive top-flight away games, as well as in 16 of 17 trips at this level over the slightly longer term. For their part, Aberdeen have taken a 1-0 lead in seven of their last ten home matches in the league, with Celtic accounting for two of the three times in which they have fallen behind.
Lille v Dijon – Lille to score first
Including the relegation playoff at Lens, Dijon have shown a real propensity for making life difficult for themselves on their travels, conceding the opening goal in 17 of their last 19 top-flight trips. Lille, by way of contrast, have gone 1-0 up in ten of their most recent 11 Ligue 1 home games, so it would represent a major disappointment were they not to do so again here.
Sevilla v Leganes – Sevilla to score first
Conceding the first goal on their La Liga travels has proven to be a real problem for Leganes of late, with the relegation-threatened outfit doing so in five consecutive matches. This is in stark contrast to the recent record of Sevilla, as the five-time Europa League winners have broken the deadlock in each of their last six games at the top table of Spanish football.
İstanbul Başakşehir v Antalyaspor - İstanbul Başakşehir to score first
There is more than one reason as to why Antalyaspor are struggling this season, but conceding the opening goal in five consecutive matches, four of which they have lost, has certainly done little to help their cause. İstanbul Başakşehir, on the other hand, have proven pretty adept at taking a 1-0 lead, doing so in six of their previous eight Süper Lig games.

Southend United v Oxford United – Oxford United to score first
Struggling Southend are the owners of a dreadful recent record when it comes to conceding the first goal, doing so in 13 of their last 19 matches in English football’s third tier. The story has been somewhat different from an Oxford perspective at this level of late, however, as Karl Robinson’s men have gone 1-0 up seven times in their previous nine fixtures.
Northampton Town v Grimsby Town – Northampton Town to score first
These two teams have been like chalk and cheese when it comes to their ability to open the scoring in League Two matches, with the Cobblers excelling and the Mariners struggling mightily. To put some meat on the bones, Northampton have gone 1-0 up in 12 of their previous 15 fixtures, whilst Grimsby have found themselves 1-0 down 11 times out of 14.
Villarreal v Celta Vigo – Villarreal to score first
Over the course of their last 13 away games in La Liga, Celta Vigo have drawn 0-0 twice, opened the scoring once, and conceded the first goal on no fewer than ten occasions. Villarreal, on the other hand, have excelled when it comes to breaking the deadlock in front of their own supporters, doing so in eight of their previous nine top-flight home fixtures.
Lecce v Cagliari – Cagliari to score first
Cagliari boast an unblemished recent record when it comes to opening the scoring on their Serie A travels, with the top-flight’s surprise package doing just that in seven consecutive matches. It has been a different story as far as Lecce are concerned on their own patch this season, with the newly-promoted outfit conceding the first goal four times out of five.
