Goal Fest Predictions

Fixtures ranked by highest predicted expected total goals β€” Wednesday 16 April 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.

Seven matches cleared our threshold on Wednesday 16 April 2025. The strongest reading belongs to Newcastle vs Crystal Palace at 3.47 in the Premier League. The shortlist runs from 3.47 down to 2.56, so the depth of the card matters as much as the headline pick.

Super League supplies four of the top 7, making it the dominant competition on this list.

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.
