Goal Fest Predictions

Fixtures ranked by highest predicted expected total goals β€” Saturday 22 March 2025

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 ten fixtures on Saturday 22 March 2025. De Graafschap vs MVV sits top on 3.50 in the Eerste Divisie. The shortlist runs from 3.50 down to 2.50, so the depth of the card matters as much as the headline pick.

League Two supplies four of the top 10, which is worth noting if you are spreading selections across leagues.

Of the ten fixtures on this list that have since finished, two landed the goal fest market — 20%. This is a single day's sample and swings heavily; the rolling record across all fixtures is on the model accuracy page.
