Goal Fest Predictions

Fixtures ranked by highest predicted expected total goals β€” Saturday 12 October 2024

Our prediction model calculates the expected number of goals each team is likely to score based on historical attack and defence strengths. Fixtures at the top of this list have the highest combined expected goals (xG) β€” making them the best candidates for Over 2.5 and Both Teams to Score markets.

The model shortlists seven fixtures on Saturday 12 October 2024. Harrogate Town vs Newport County led the list at 3.11 in the League Two. The shortlist runs from 3.11 down to 2.67, which is a meaningful spread across a single day.

League Two supplies five of the top 7, which is worth noting if you are spreading selections across leagues.

Of the seven fixtures on this list that have since finished, four landed the goal fest market — 57%. This is a single day's sample and swings heavily; the rolling record across all fixtures is on the model accuracy page.
