Over 2.5 Goals Predictions
Fixtures ranked by highest predicted over 2.5 probability — Sunday 16 May 2021
Over 2.5 goals is the most widely-backed goals market — it needs at least 3 goals in the match. Our prediction model calculates this as the probability of at least 3 total goals, sitting between the safer over 1.5 and higher-risk over 3.5 markets. Only fixtures with 55%+ probability are shown.
Twelve fixtures cleared the bar on Sunday 16 May 2021. Viking vs Lillestrom sits top on 69% in the Eliteserien. The shortlist runs from 69% down to 56%, so the tail is materially weaker than the top.
Eliteserien supplies ten of the top 10, so the day's profile is concentrated rather than spread evenly.
Of the five fixtures on this list that have since finished, three landed the over 2.5 goals market — 60%. This is a single day's sample and swings heavily; the rolling record across all fixtures is on the model accuracy page.
