Fixtures ranked by highest predicted over 2.5 probability — Friday 1 January 2027

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.

15 fixtures clear the bar on Friday 1 January 2027. The strongest reading belongs to Reading vs Milton Keynes Dons at 79% in the League One. The shortlist runs from 79% down to 55%, which is a meaningful spread across a single day.

League One supplies five of the top 10, so the day's profile is concentrated rather than spread evenly.
