I'M going on a Euro jaunt for goals today and the first stop is Bilbao's atmospheric San Mames stadium.
Athletic Bilbao are back in form after a ropey start to the season and this evening they're up against bottom club Cordoba. Bilbao are unbeaten in their last six league games, winning four, while today's visitors are still winless 13 games into the La Liga campaign.
Bilbao are strong at home and I fancy them to triumph with a bit to spare. They've scored at least two in their last two matches and I'm taking them on the race to two goals market (ie, the first team in the match to score two) at 2-3.
Next up is Roma, who have scored at least two in all seven of their home league games this season. Today they face a decent Sassuolo team unbeaten in their last seven. But Rudi Garcia's men should prove too strong, especially as they can cash in on Juventus dropping points last night, and they're 1-2 on the race to two goals.
Completing the treble are Spanish champs Atletico Madrid. Diego Simeone's side are away to second-bottom Elche who have one victory in their last 11 games. At home they've conceded at least two in half of their six league games. Their head-to-head record against Atletico last season was two 2-0 defeats and I'm backing Atletico at 4-5 in the race to two goals.
On to the over 2.5 market and I like the look of 10th-placed Paderborn v second-bottom Freiburg in Germany. Newly-promoted Paderborn have seen eight of their previous nine Bundesliga matches go over 2.5 goals, including the last four in a row.
Three of Freiburg's last six have been overs and their last two games have finished 2-2 and 1-4. The over 2.5 goals today pays 4-5 with bet365.
Add in Champions League-chasing Wolfsburg away to Hannover at 13-20. Hannover's last two league games have featured 11 goals and half of their six home matches have produced over 2.5. Wolfsburg are dangerous on the road and four of their six away games have gone overs.
In Holland, leaders PSV are looking to bounce back from two successive draws and couldn't be up against better opponents. Promoted Dordrecht prop up the table and are out of their depth at this level. They've lost eight in a row and are without a win in 13. Of those eight successive defeats, they've been behind at half-time in seven of them so add in PSV to be winning at half-time and full-time at 4-5.
Euro treble (4.35-1, bet365)
PSV ht-ft, Paderborn v Freiburg over 2.5 goals, Hannover v Wolfsburg over 2.5 goals
First team to score 2 goals treble (7-2, Ladbrokes)
Athletic Bilbao, Roma, Atletico Madrid
Mr.F I gotta say i like the look of your selections & am gonna have a bite of them. Two other pointers for goals today are;
Chelsea have scored at least 2 goals in 12 of
their last 15 matches.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in
Tottenham’s last 7 games.
