Saturday over 2.5 goals acca
Werder Bremen v Holstein - 9/20
Chesterfield v Accrington - 13/20
Liverpool vs Aston Villa - 2/5
Bochum vs Leverkusen (1430 GMT)
We all know that Leverkusen fans see a lot of goals. Of their nine Bundesliga games this season, seven have seen over 2.5 goals land.
That's also the same for Bochum, but with worse results. They are bottom of the table with one miserable point.
Bochum are the Bundesliga whipping boys. Frankfurt thumped seven past them last weekend, Bayern Munich five before that.
Even Hoffenheim, Koln and Wolfsburg have joined in the slappings, all netting three against Bochum during October.
Worse still for Bochum is Leverkusen beat them 5-0 and 4-0 last season and will want to bounce back from their own humbling at the hands of Liverpool in midweek.
This could be nasty.
Werder Bremen vs Holstein Kiel (1430 GMT)
Staying in Germany we head north east (see, you learn geography here too) to mid-table Bremen who'll be looking to shoot their way back up the table against second bottom Holstein Kiel.
Both sides are fond over over 2.5 games, Bremen seven in nine, Holstein six in nine and neither are great at keeping a clean sheet.
Portsmouth vs Preston (1500 GMT)
Lowly Portsmouth are becoming a regular feature when we go fishing for goals, and why wouldn't we when they have a goal difference of minus 14 and they've let in 27.
Eight of their 14 Championship games have seen over 2.5 goals land, while Preston are on seven.
Preston last travelled to Portsmouth in 2013, so historical data is a not worth looking at.
Chesterfield v Accrington (1500 GMT)
Chesterfield and Accrington have both in involved in eight over 2.5 goals this season.
The Spireites have also pulled us out of trouble in several accas this season already, so we are sticking with our friends from Derbyshire for a little bit longer.
Rochdale vs Sutton (1500 GMT)
There's something about Rochdale that Sutton don't really like.
It's very far north for the boys from south London and they always get slapped when they visit Spotland.
Rochdale were already relegated when Sutton last visited in League Two in April 2023, yet still gave the U's a good 4-1 kicking. The season before that Rochdale won 3-2.
Rochdale don't like Gander Green Lane either, they've lost both recent visits 1-0 and 3-0.
Oh look, that's a lot of goals isn't it, and both teams aren't shy of over 2.5 goals this season too.
Brighton vs Man City (1730 GMT)
This is usually a fixture that Manchester City relish. They've lost just one of the last 15 encounters and most of those were very handsome wins.
City putting three or fouls goals past Brighton is not uncommon and over 2.5 goals has landed in nine of the last eleven meetings between the two sides.
However, City are in choppy waters at the moment and have lost the last three across all competitions.
They are shipping goals, eight in three, and the Seagulls aren't afraid to go on the attack - they average 1.7 goals a game and have managed to bundle nine goals in the last five.
Both teams have seen over 2.5 goals land in seven of their ten Premier League games.
Liverpool v Aston Villa (2000 GMT)
There's a big reason why this is the Saturday night game and it's goals.
These two sides battled out a 3-3 draw and a 3-0 Liverpool win last season, and over 2.5 goals is a regular feature between them - eight in the last 11 across all competitions.
Add this to the fact that seven of ten Aston Villa matches have seen over 2.5 goals come in this season, while Liverpool are six in ten and it looks like the big cheeses at TNT/Discovery+ have picked a good one.
Five-fold over 2.5 goals acca
Priced around 6/1
Werder Bremen v Holstein - 9/20
Liverpool vs Aston Villa - 2/5
