Under and Over 2.5 Goals Tips for Today and the Weekend

Tuesday 16th December – 20:00 – Cardiff City v Chelsea – Over 2.5 Goals

Before facing Doncaster, 12 of the 14 competitive home games played by Cardiff this season had served up three goals or more. Ahead of a trip to Atalanta, nine of the 12 Chelsea away matches this term had followed suit, so our over 2.5 tips feature this Carabao Cup clash.

Under and Over 2.5 goals

Under and Over 2.5 goals bets fall pretty much at the sweet spot in terms of difficulty and reward. There were roughly 2.7 goals per game in the Premier League last season, so lots of games finish with more than 2.5 goals and lots finish with fewer. This means that odds in this market hover usually around evens or just under, and there is lots of value to be found with the right information.

That’s where we come in. For each game we provide stats on how many goals each team has scored and conceded in their last 20 games, how many of their games have finished with under 2.5 goals or over 2.5 goals, their xG for the season and more detailed stats about chance conversion. Our league table which shows how many of a team’s matches finish with under or over 2.5 goals depending on where the team they’re playing is in the table.

Under and Over 2.5 goals Tips and Predictions

Our free over & under 2.5 goals predictions are updated daily and include all of Europe’s 5 major leagues (the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga and Ligue 1), the Europa League and Champions League, as well as some smaller leagues too.

What is an over 2.5 goals bet?

Obviously, you can’t actually have 0.5 of a goal in a game of football. So a bet that there will be over 2.5 goals in a game is a bet that there will be at least 3 goals in the game which would include scorelines such as 2-1, 3-0, 3-1 and so on.

What is an under 2.5 goals bet?

A bet that there will be under 2.5 goals is a bet that there will be 2 goals or fewer in the game, which would include the scorelines 0-0, 1-0 (0-1), 1-1 and 2-0 (0-2).

How do we make our under 2.5 goals and over 2.5 goals predictions?

The first thing to look at when making a prediction that there will be over 2.5 goals in a game is how many goals the two teams have scored and conceded in their previous matches. This isn’t always as simple as it might look at first sight though. We make sure all our goals stats are available for home matches and overall matches, and that they’re for relevant competitions so that big wins against lower league sides don’t muddy the waters.

Our algorithm also takes into account xG as well as a range of attacking and defensive stats when providing an over 2.5 goals or under 2.5 goals prediction, so you can be sure you're getting the best over 2.5 goals information.
