Over 2.5 Goals Predictions

Fixtures ranked by highest predicted over 2.5 probability β€” Saturday 23 December 2023

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.

20 fixtures cleared the bar on Saturday 23 December 2023. Tranmere vs Swindon Town sits top on 75% in the League Two. The shortlist runs from 75% down to 59%, so the tail is materially weaker than the top.

The shortlist spans seven different competitions, so there is no single league driving the day.

Of the 20 fixtures on this list that have since finished, 14 landed the over 2.5 goals market — 70%. This is a single day's sample and swings heavily; the rolling record across all fixtures is on the model accuracy page.
