Goal Fest Predictions

Fixtures ranked by highest predicted expected total goals β€” Saturday 25 March 2023

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 25 March 2023. Peterborough vs Derby sits top on 3.44 in the League One. The shortlist runs from 3.44 down to 2.52, so the depth of the card matters as much as the headline pick.

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, two landed the goal fest market — 29%. This is a single day's sample and swings heavily; the rolling record across all fixtures is on the model accuracy page.
