Over 2.5 Goals Predictions

Fixtures ranked by highest predicted over 2.5 probability β€” Sunday 4 January 2026

Over 2.5 goals is the most widely-backed goals market β€” 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.

14 fixtures cleared the bar on Sunday 4 January 2026. The strongest reading belongs to Lorient vs Metz at 79% in the Ligue 1. The shortlist runs from 79% down to 56%, which is a meaningful spread across a single day.

Ligue 1 supplies three of the top 10, so the day's profile is concentrated rather than spread evenly.

Of the 14 fixtures on this list that have since finished, six landed the over 2.5 goals market — 43%. This is a single day's sample and swings heavily; the rolling record across all fixtures is on the model accuracy page.
